Subject: [PATCH] bisect: fix a regression causing a segfault
Date: Wed,  3 Jan 2018 18:48:52 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180103184852.27271-1-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAN0heSrZ4dEFqNX69PgtGCERJKabokz88v-vnNZkUBXfK118mg@mail.gmail.com>

In 7c117184d7 ("bisect: fix off-by-one error in
`best_bisection_sorted()`", 2017-11-05) the more careful logic dealing
with freeing p->next in 50e62a8e70 ("rev-list: implement
--bisect-all", 2007-10-22) was removed.

Restore the more careful check to avoid segfaulting. Ideally this
would come with a test case, but we don't have steps to reproduce
this, only a backtrace from gdb pointing to this being the issue.
