That 'name="Gitweb" parameter caught my eye.  origin/todo contains a
'Gitweb' file, with upper case 'G', while master contains a 'gitweb'
directory, with lower case 'g'.  

Could it be that case (in)sensitivity plays a crucial rule in
triggering the segfault?  FWIW I could reproduce it following Denton's
description on Travis CI's macOS VM with the debug shell access, and
it uses case insensitive file system.
