I submitted a bug against the brew project when git version 2.16.0 
started segfaulting:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/23045#issuecomment-358891009

I've built git from master from https://github.com/git/git and was able 
to reproduce (no surprise, the top commit claims it's 2.16.0), and also 
built from the `next` branch which yields similar results.

I'm on latest customer release of MacOS:

    $ uname -a
    Darwin smm.local 17.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 17.3.0: Thu Nov  9 18:09:22 PST 2017; root:xnu-4570.31.3~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

    $ sw_vers
    ProductName:    Mac OS X
    ProductVersion: 10.13.2
    BuildVersion:   17C205

The clone url in question: git@github.com:gdamore/tcell.git

Any other information that would be helpful?

Respectfully,

Stephen

This seems likely to be the same segfault as:

https://public-inbox.org/git/CALwADsGfB10f5+nOFN-pHCt4z1SkWMcvSHn8KokcyCM0V6K-BA@mail.gmail.com/

There's a patch in that thread.

I've verified that the patch fixes my case.

I'll back off to 2.15.x and wait for that (or similar) to land.

Thanks for the pointer,
