Subject: name-ref on annotated-tags is null terminated, but lightweight tags arent
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2020 09:51:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200605165109.jr6mjl6xz7upofdy@forgemax.local> (raw)

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
I was using name-rev to resolve a commits tag name. Annotated tags seem
to have a null termination and lightweight tags dont.
```
/tmp
❯ git clone https://github.com/maxres-fr/null-termination-issue.git

lightweight-tag
```

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

`git name-rev --tag --name-only ANNOTATED-COMMIT-ID` to return the name
without null termination

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

`git name-rev --tag --name-only ANNOTATED-COMMIT-ID` returns the name
but it's null terminated

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

a null control character exists.

Anything else you want to add:

I tried this with the following git versions:

2.11, 2.23, 2.26, 2.27. I've also been able to reproduce on MacOS.
