Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Fix an off-by-one bug in the untracked cache code
Date: Wed, 10 Apr 2019 05:56:47 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.178.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

Frankly, I am surprised it took me this long to discover this bug, as I am
running with the untracked cache for ages now.

But as of recent, I am running more and more long-running commands, mostly
rebases to keep what I call "ever-green" branches up to date, where Git for
Windows' patch thicket is rebased onto core Git's four integration branches,
and when there are no merge conflicts to stop the rebase early, I got this
really obscure crash (no error message, no nothing to indicate what it was).

It cost me two full work days to chase this one down.
