From: Nicolas Guichard <redacted> load_branch_decorations calls normalize_glob_ref on each string of filter's string_lists. This effectively replaces the potentially non-owning char* of those items with an owning char*. Set the strdup_string flag on those string_lists. This was not caught until now because: - when passing string_lists already with the strdup_string already set, the behaviour was correct - when passing static string_lists, the new char* remain reachable until program exit Signed-off-by: Nicolas Guichard <redacted> --- log-tree.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)
