The debug session seems to use code source from a previous version of
this patch.
Also it is not cear in which context you run git under gdb. What have

And we don't see a crash. Could you show the crash and run the "bt"
command in gdb to get a backtrace?

You could save one line by concatenating the 2 above lines.

You need to free "ref".
