    • filter: only close filter if it's been initialized correctly · cf07db2f
      In the function `git_filter_list_stream_data`, we initialize, write and
      subesquently close the stream which should receive content processed by
      the filter. While we skip writing to the stream if its initialization
      failed, we still try to close it unconditionally -- even if the
      initialization failed, where the stream might not be set at all, leading
      us to segfault.
      
      Semantics in this code is not really clear. The function handling the
      same logic for files instead of data seems to do the right thing here in
      only closing the stream when initialization succeeded. When stepping
      back a bit, this is only reasonable: if a stream cannot be initialized,
      the caller would not expect it to be closed again. So actually, both
      callers of `stream_list_init` fail to do so. The data streaming function
      will always close the stream and the file streaming function will not
      close the stream if writing to it has failed.
      
      The fix is thus two-fold:
      
      - callers of `stream_list_init` now close the stream iff it has been
        initialized
      - `stream_list_init` now closes the lastly initialized stream if
        the current stream in the chain failed to initialize
      
      Add a test which segfaulted previous to these changes.
