@derrickstolee I think that this cannot recurse in the same process, as the caller in the
atexit()handler should only be called well after the three other callers (all on the main thread):run_builtin()execv_dashed_external()cmd_main()(the early "usage" code path when no arguments at all were passed along).So I wonder whether this change on its own can do anything to help the issue.
I rather suspect that the infinite loop might happen due to the
post-commandhook calling another Git command? If that is the case, then we'd also have to move thesetenv("COMMAND_HOOK_LOCK", "false", 1);call right after theCOMMAND_HOOK_LOCKguard, too, not just therun_post_hook = 0;assignment?There was a problem hiding this comment.

I'm still trying to figure out a reproducer or at least a trace of the issue, but if we get a
die()between this point and the child process kickoff it may start recursing here. At least, that's my theory.There was a problem hiding this comment.

The repeated
fatal: recursion detected in die handlerwouldn't happen from just a recursion within thepost-commandhook calling anothergitprocess. And the user output looks likeand continues until they kill the process.

@dscho I did end up finding a trace that could be helpful, leading to a change in the trace2 code. I'll polish that up for upstream soon, but I'd like your feedback here.

Ah, so the problem is a
die()in theatexit()path? That does make sense to me.There was a problem hiding this comment.

And things are finally coming together: this happens when the
atexitevent is traced as part ofGIT_TRACE2_EVENT, which is set for these users to an instance of the trace2collector.
