Subject: [PATCH 1/2] get_main_ref_store: BUG() when outside a repository
Date: Fri, 18 May 2018 15:25:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180518222552.GA9623@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180518222506.GA9527@sigill.intra.peff.net>

If we don't have a repository, then we can't initialize the
ref store.  Prior to 64a741619d (refs: store the main ref
store inside the repository struct, 2018-04-11), we'd try to
access get_git_dir(), and outside a repository that would
trigger a BUG(). After that commit, though, we directly use
the_repository->git_dir; if it's NULL we'll just segfault.

Let's catch this case and restore the BUG() behavior.
Obviously we don't ever want to hit this code, but a BUG()
is a lot more helpful than a segfault if we do.
