when I'm trying to push one specific branch from my git
repository to server, git push crashing. Pushing branch is
rejected by server (because non fast forward), but local
git app should not crash.

I'm using git from ubuntu apt repository (compiled myself
for debug symbols), version git_1.7.10.4-1ubuntu1 on amd64
ubuntu system:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/quantal/git

Here are gdb backtrace and valgrind outputs. I changed
server, repo and branch strings from output. It looks like
that git crashing in strcmp function because one of
arguments is NULL.

If you need more info, I can send it. This crash occur
always. I can reproduce it again and again...

This looks like the same issue that was fixed by commit
1d2c14d (push: fix segfault when HEAD points nowhere -
2013-01-31).

Can you try again with Git 1.8.2 and see if the crash still
happens?

Hello, now I tried version 1.8.2.1 and git push not crashing :-) 
I also tried version 1.8.1 and as expected it crashed.

So thanks for quick reply, seems that this problem is already 
fixed in 1.8.2.
