[PATCH] trace2: prevent segfault on config collection where no value specified

From
AGAdam Murray via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Nov 7, 2024, 00:04 UTC
Message-ID
<pull.1814.git.1730937889182.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Adam Murray <ad@canva.com>

When TRACE2 analytics is enabled, a git config option that has no value causes a segfault.

Steps to Reproduce GIT_TRACE2=true GIT_TRACE2_CONFIG_PARAMS=status.* git -c status.relativePaths version Expected Result git version 2.46.0 Actual Result zsh: segmentation fault GIT_TRACE2=true

This adds a null check to prevent the segfault and instead return the "empty config value" error.
