Hello,

This is my first bug report to Git mailing list so let me know if more information is needed.

Running the following command results in a segmentation fault on macOS arm64
$ git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U —relative
Segmentation fault: 11

MVCE:

cd /tmp/diff-bug
mkdir -p dir

git commit -m first

git branch side

git commit -m checkpoint
git tag checkpoint

git switch side

git add file
git commit -m side

cd dir
git rebase checkpoint

It's NULL pointer dereference bug because pair is NULL.
I haven't check further:
