cmd_add_commit() is passed FETCH_HEAD by cmd_add_repository, which is then rev-parsed into an object ID. However, if the user is fetching a tag rather than a branch HEAD, such as by executing: $ git subtree add -P oldGit https://github.com/git/git.git tags/v1.8.0 The object ID is a tag and is never peeled, and the git commit-tree call (line 561) slaps us in the face because it doesn't handle tag IDs. Because peeling a committish ID doesn't do anything if it's already a commit, fix by peeling[1] the object ID before assigning it to $rev, as per the patch. [*1*]: Via peel_committish(), from git:git-sh-setup.sh, pre-existing dependency of git-subtree. Reported-by: Kevin Cagle <redacted> Helped-by: Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] Signed-off-by: James Denholm <redacted> --- I felt that defining revp would be a little more self-documenting than using $rev^0. contrib/subtree/git-subtree.sh | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
