Hallo,


I just found that git crashes with a segmentation fault when calling
$ git log --graph --no-walk --grep pattern

It happens both for version 1.7.10.4 from Debian (wheezy,amd64) and
a fresh compiled git from github (git.git repository, master).


For the error to occure, the pattern must match the commit message in HEAD.




How to reproduce:
  git init .
  git commit -m 'text1' --allow-empty
  git commit -m 'text2' --allow-empty
  git log --graph --no-walk --grep 'text2'



And here is coredump I got:

Core was generated by `git log --graph --no-walk --grep text2'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

it happens in file revision.c:2306 because "commit->buffer" is zero:

                retval = grep_buffer(&opt->grep_filter,
                                     commit->buffer, strlen(commit->buffer));





thank you all, for this awesome software.
