Re: another segfault during update

Yes, r36689 seems to fix the cause of the problem.
But: there will be a lot of corrupted working copies lying around, and
these will cause the same segfaults again.

How about adding a check for target_entry being NULL and if it is return
an error message telling the user to do a fresh checkout?

I really don't like segfaults if the root cause is known.
