Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fix infinite loop in ref resolution
Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2016 12:47:24 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161006164723.ocg2nbgtulpjcksp@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
This fixes an infinite loop bug dating back to the v1.8.x era.
Triggering it requires creating a broken symbolic link in the .git
directory, so I don't think it's security-interesting. It should apply
cleanly on "maint".
[1/2]: files_read_raw_ref: avoid infinite loop on broken symlinks
[2/2]: files_read_raw_ref: prevent infinite retry loops in general
