Re: [PATCH v4] [GSOC] ref-filter: fix read invalid union member bug

Well, the thing is,

    $ git checkout 49f38e2d ;# (The fifteenth batch, 2021-05-10)
    $ git am -s mbox
    $ git show --stat --oneline
    39509d100a (HEAD) ref-filter: fix read invalid union member bug
     ref-filter.c                   |  2 +-
     t/t6302-for-each-ref-filter.sh | 18 ++++++++++++++++++
     2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-)
    $ git show ref-filter.c | git apply -R ;# revert only the fix
    $ make -j32 && make -C t T=t6302-*.sh

does not seem to break anything.  Perhaps there is something more
than the "17th byte" thing (like structure padding that may vary
depending on the compiler and architecture)?

Fine, I guess the reason for this mystery is I "push" this branch to github
and you haven't done it. That may not be due to the platform. Because I
can see no this bug happening when I use a new git repo without "git push",
and I test in archlinux or deepin, this bug will happen in these environments.

I take back what I said before, maybe this is really related to push.

Let's see what happens:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir test
cd test
git init
echo 1>1
git add .
git branch -M main
git commit -m "test"
git remote add origin nowhere
git config branch.main.remote origin
git config branch.main.merge refs/heads/main
git for-each-ref --format="%(color:#aa22ac)%(objectname)"

These two "git config" is for simulating a push environment.

I guess you also saw this bug:

BUG: ref-filter.c:1544: unhandled RR_* enum

I will use it for the test.

Thanks.
