From: Jon Loeliger Date: Mon, 19 Sep 2005 03:18:39 GMT Subject: [BUG] git-show-branch cant show --more Message-ID: Guys, I realize I probably dumbly expected more history out of a partial git repository than is actually present, but a segmentation fault wasn't a nice way to tell me. :-) Start with just Paul's repo over here: rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc-merge.git And do a "git show-branch --more=10" on it. Yeah, msg == 0. Bad msg. No dereferencing for you. Thanks, jdl jdl.com 487 % gdb /usr/bin/git-show-branch Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".
