[PATCH] merge-ort: initialize repo in index state

Message-ID
<pull.1583.git.git.1696519349407.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: John Cai <johncai86@gmail.com>

initialize_attr_index() does not initialize the repo member of attr_index. Starting in 44451a2e5e (attr: teach "--attr-source=<tree>" global option to "git", 2023-05-06), this became a problem because istate->repo gets passed down the call chain starting in git_check_attr(). This gets passed all the way down to replace_refs_enabled(), which segfaults when accessing r->gitdir.

Fix this by initializing the repository in the index state.

    attr_index. Starting in 44451a2e5e (attr: teach "--attr-source=" global
    option to "git", 2023-05-06), this became a problem because istate->repo
    gets passed down the call chain starting in git_check_attr(). This gets
    passed all the way down to replace_refs_enabled(), which segfaults when
    accessing r->gitdir.
