STGIT: Deathpatch in linus tree

Hi -

Linus just pushed 105e5180936d69b1aee46ead8a5fc6c68f4d5f65 to linux-2.6... along the lines of the Monty Python joke that was so funny it kills anyone who hears it, if I have a stgit branch based on a HEAD that includes this commit then stgit dies when pushing on top of it.

So...

[agreen@build linux-2.6]$ stg pop --all [agreen@build linux-2.6]$ git reset --hard 96e02d1 HEAD is now at 96e02d1 exec: fix use-after-free bug in setup_new_exec() [agreen@build linux-2.6]$ stg push Pushing patch "subject-patch-1-3-arm-dt-add-p" ... done (empty) Now at patch "subject-patch-1-3-arm-dt-add-p" [agreen@build linux-2.6]$ stg pop Popped subject-patch-1-3-arm-dt-add-p No patch applied

So the commit just before the bad guy is happy.  Then -->

[agreen@build linux-2.6]$ git reset --hard 105e518
HEAD is now at 105e518 Merge tag 'hwmon-fixes-for-3.3-rc3' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/groeck/linux-staging
[agreen@build linux-2.6]$ stg push
Error: Unhandled exception:

It also dies if I use Linus' current HEAD as the basis I am stgitting on top of, which is one patch ahead of the deathpatch.

I'm using Fedora rawhide versions of git and stgit

git-1.7.9-1.fc17.x86_64 stgit-0.15-2.fc17.noarch
