I could reproduce it with the Git version of the current "next" branch (1.8.5.392.gf545f4d) with the steps below. The segfault does not appear with version 1.8.5. Steps to reproduce: git init tmp cd tmp git remote add origin https://github.com/git/git.git git fetch -v Full stacktrace: http://pastebin.com/zK8epKWj ProcMaps and ProcStatus from Ubuntu's Apport: http://pastebin.com/ZpPk1WSA Ralf ``` ## Jonathan Nieder, 2013-12-03 19:20 Subject: Re: Segfault when fetching from current git.git on GitHub Message-ID: <20131203192018.GD29959@google.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20131203192018.GD29959%40google.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, Ralf Thielow wrote: > I've fetched from the current git.git on GitHub minutes ago and got a > segfault.
