[PATCH v3] list-objects.c: don't segfault for missing cmdline objects

From
Matthew DeVore <matvore@google.com>
Date
Dec 5, 2018, 21:43 UTC
Message-ID
<20181205214346.106217-1-matvore@google.com>
In-Reply-To

When a command is invoked with both --exclude-promisor-objects, --objects-edge-aggressive, and a missing object on the command line, the rev_info.cmdline array could get a NULL pointer for the value of an 'item' field. Prevent dereferencing of a NULL pointer in that situation.

Properly handle --ignore-missing. If it is not passed, die when an object is missing. Otherwise, just silently ignore it.
