If a remote is not configured for the branch configuration being deleted, then don't try to delete the remote.<remote>.push configuration for the branch. When the remote is not configured, branch->remote_name is not filled in. When this NULL branch->remote_name is passed to strbuf_addf() it will result in an attempt to remove a bogus configuration statement in the best case (i.e. "remote.(null).push" for platforms which guard against supplying NULL to a %s conversion spec) and a segfault in the worst case.

So check whether branch->remote_name is non-NULL before trying to use it.

Thanks, my Solaris autobuild detected this last night. I bisected it to 4f67cc0, and I can confirm that your patch fixes it.
