Subject: Segmentation fault within git read-tree
Message-ID: <d0f9520d-9ccc-a899-609e-fbbb4529e005@free.fr>

Hello,

I am doing some tests trying to do a sparse checkout of a partial clone 
within a subtree.
However, I get a segfault when trying to run git read-tree as is done by 
git subtree internally.

Maybe what I am doing isn't supposed to work at all, but I suppose it 
shouldn't at least cause git read-tree to segfault.

Here should be a MWE to reproduce my error:

# Run this to create the repo that will become your subtree
git init subtree.git
cd subtree.git
touch x y
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"

# Run this to create the repo that has a sparse checkout of a partial 
clone within a subtree
git init repo
cd repo
git commit --allow-empty "first commit"
git sparse-checkout set "subtree/x"
git remote add origin-subtree git@my.server:/with/the/subtree.git
git fetch --filter=blob:none origin-subtree
git rev-parse --verify "FETCH_HEAD^{commit}"
git read-tree --debug-unpack --prefix="subtree" FETCH_HEAD

Yours sincerely,
Frédéric Fort
