Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] setup: do not use invalid `repository_format`
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 19:34:56 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a7e58385290e6789105d2d5b794f4bf8607285dd.1547488709.git.martin.agren@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1547488709.git.martin.agren@gmail.com>

If `read_repository_format()` encounters an error, `format->version`
will be -1 and all other fields of `format` will be undefined. However,
in `setup_git_directory_gently()`, we use `repo_fmt.hash_algo`
regardless of the value of `repo_fmt.version`.

This can be observed by adding this to the end of
`read_repository_format()`:

	if (format->version == -1)
		format->hash_algo = 0; /* no-one should peek at this! */

This causes, e.g., "git branch -m q q2 without config should succeed" in
t3200 to fail with "fatal: Failed to resolve HEAD as a valid ref."
because it has moved .git/config out of the way and is now trying to use
a bad hash algorithm.

Check that `version` is non-negative before using `hash_algo`.

This patch adds no tests, but do note that if we skip this patch, the
next patch would cause existing tests to fail as outlined above.
