2016-12-11mingw: intercept isatty() to handle /dev/null as Git expects itLibravatar Johannes Schindelin2-0/+36
When Git's source code calls isatty(), it really asks whether the respective file descriptor is connected to an interactive terminal. Windows' _isatty() function, however, determines whether the file descriptor is associated with a character device. And NUL, Windows' equivalent of /dev/null, is a character device. Which means that for years, Git mistakenly detected an associated interactive terminal when being run through the test suite, which almost always redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to /dev/null. This bug only became obvious, and painfully so, when the new bisect--helper entered the `pu` branch and made the automatic build & test time out because t6030 was waiting for an answer.

2016-12-08diff: handle --no-abbrev in no-index caseLibravatar Jack Bates8-1/+39
There are two different places where the --no-abbrev option is parsed, and two different places where SHA-1s are abbreviated. We normally parse --no-abbrev with setup_revisions(), but in the no-index case, "git diff" calls diff_opt_parse() directly, and diff_opt_parse() didn't handle --no-abbrev until now. (It did handle --abbrev, however.) We normally abbreviate SHA-1s with find_unique_abbrev(), but commit 4f03666 ("diff: handle sha1 abbreviations outside of repository, 2016-10-20) recently introduced a special case when you run "git diff" outside of a repository. setup_revisions() does also call diff_opt_parse(), but not for --abbrev or --no-abbrev, which it handles itself. setup_revisions() sets rev_info->abbrev, and later copies that to diff_options->abbrev. It handles --no-abbrev by setting abbrev to zero. (This change doesn't touch that.) Setting abbrev to zero was broken in the outside-of-a-repository special case, which until now resulted in a truly zero-length SHA-1, rather than taking zero to mean do not abbreviate. The only way to trigger this bug, however, was by running "git diff --raw" without either the --abbrev or --no-abbrev options, because 1) without --raw it doesn't respect abbrev (which is bizarre, but has been that way forever), 2) we silently clamp --abbrev=0 to MINIMUM_ABBREV, and 3) --no-abbrev wasn't handled until now. The outside-of-a-repository case is one of three no-index cases. The other two are when one of the files you're comparing is outside of the repository you're in, and the --no-index option.

2016-12-08difftool: fix dir-diff index creation when in a subdirectoryLibravatar David Aguilar2-3/+45
9ec26e7977 (difftool: fix argument handling in subdirs, 2016-07-18) corrected how path arguments are handled in a subdirectory, but it introduced a regression in how entries outside of the subdirectory are handled by dir-diff. When preparing the right-side of the diff we only include the changed paths in the temporary area. The left side of the diff is constructed from a temporary index that is built from the same set of changed files, but it was being constructed from within the subdirectory. This is a problem because the indexed paths are toplevel-relative, and thus they were not getting added to the index. Teach difftool to chdir to the toplevel of the repository before preparing its temporary indexes. This ensures that all of the toplevel-relative paths are valid. Add test cases to more thoroughly exercise this scenario. Reported-by: Frank Becker <fb@mooflu.com> Signed-off-by: David Aguilar <davvid@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-12-06stash: prefer plumbing over git-diffLibravatar Jeff King2-1/+10
When creating a stash, we need to look at the diff between the working tree and HEAD, and do so using the git-diff porcelain. Because git-diff enables porcelain config like renames by default, this causes at least one problem. The --name-only format will not mention the source side of a rename, meaning we will fail to stash a deletion that is part of a rename. We could fix that case by passing --no-renames, but this is a symptom of a larger problem. We should be using the diff-index plumbing here, which does not have renames enabled by default, and also does not respect any potentially confusing config options.

2016-12-06http-walker: complain about non-404 loose object errorsLibravatar Jeff King2-3/+6
Since commit 17966c0a6 (http: avoid disconnecting on 404s for loose objects, 2016-07-11), we turn off curl's FAILONERROR option and instead manually deal with failing HTTP codes. However, the logic to do so only recognizes HTTP 404 as a failure. This is probably the most common result, but if we were to get another code, the curl result remains CURLE_OK, and we treat it as success. We still end up detecting the failure when we try to zlib-inflate the object (which will fail), but instead of reporting the HTTP error, we just claim that the object is corrupt. Instead, let's catch anything in the 300's or above as an error (300's are redirects which are not an error at the HTTP level, but are an indication that we've explicitly disabled redirects, so we should treat them as such; we certainly don't have the resulting object content). Note that we also fill in req->errorstr, which we didn't do before. Without FAILONERROR, curl will not have filled this in, and it will remain a blank string. This never mattered for the 404 case, because in the logic below we hit the "missing_target()" branch and print nothing. But for other errors, we'd want to say _something_, if only to fill in the blank slot in the error message. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2016-12-06http: treat http-alternates like redirectsLibravatar Jeff King3-3/+44
The previous commit made HTTP redirects more obvious and tightened up the default behavior. However, there's another way for a server to ask a git client to fetch arbitrary content: by having an http-alternates file (or a regular alternates file, which is used as a backup). Similar to the HTTP redirect case, a malicious server can claim to have refs pointing at object X, return a 404 when the client asks for X, but point to some other URL via http-alternates, which the client will transparently fetch. The end result is that it looks from the user's perspective like the objects came from the malicious server, as the other URL is not mentioned at all. Worse, because we feed the new URL to curl ourselves, the usual protocol restrictions do not kick in (neither curl's default of disallowing file://, nor the protocol whitelisting in f4113cac0 (http: limit redirection to protocol-whitelist, 2015-09-22). Let's apply the same rules here as we do for HTTP redirects. Namely: - unless http.followRedirects is set to "always", we will not follow remote redirects from http-alternates (or alternates) at all - set CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS alongside CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS restrict ourselves to a known-safe set and respect any user-provided whitelist. - mention alternate object stores on stderr so that the user is aware another source of objects may be involved The first item may prove to be too restrictive. The most common use of alternates is to point to another path on the same server. While it's possible for a single-server redirect to be an attack, it takes a fairly obscure setup (victim and evil repository on the same host, host speaks dumb http, and evil repository has access to edit its own http-alternates file). So we could make the checks more specific, and only cover cross-server redirects. But that means parsing the URLs ourselves, rather than letting curl handle them. This patch goes for the simpler approach. Given that they are only used with dumb http, http-alternates are probably pretty rare. And there's an escape hatch: the user can allow redirects on a specific server by setting http.<url>.followRedirects to "always".

2016-12-06http: make redirects more obviousLibravatar Jeff King6-3/+81
We instruct curl to always follow HTTP redirects. This is convenient, but it creates opportunities for malicious servers to create confusing situations. For instance, imagine Alice is a git user with access to a private repository on Bob's server. Mallory runs her own server and wants to access objects from Bob's repository. Mallory may try a few tricks that involve asking Alice to clone from her, build on top, and then push the result: 1. Mallory may simply redirect all fetch requests to Bob's server. Git will transparently follow those redirects and fetch Bob's history, which Alice may believe she got from Mallory. The subsequent push seems like it is just feeding Mallory back her own objects, but is actually leaking Bob's objects. There is nothing in git's output to indicate that Bob's repository was involved at all. The downside (for Mallory) of this attack is that Alice will have received Bob's entire repository, and is likely to notice that when building on top of it. 2. If Mallory happens to know the sha1 of some object X in Bob's repository, she can instead build her own history that references that object. She then runs a dumb http server, and Alice's client will fetch each object individually. When it asks for X, Mallory redirects her to Bob's server. The end result is that Alice obtains objects from Bob, but they may be buried deep in history. Alice is less likely to notice. Both of these attacks are fairly hard to pull off. There's a social component in getting Mallory to convince Alice to work with her. Alice may be prompted for credentials in accessing Bob's repository (but not always, if she is using a credential helper that caches). Attack (1) requires a certain amount of obliviousness on Alice's part while making a new commit. Attack (2) requires that Mallory knows a sha1 in Bob's repository, that Bob's server supports dumb http, and that the object in question is loose on Bob's server. But we can probably make things a bit more obvious without any loss of functionality. This patch does two things to that end. First, when we encounter a whole-repo redirect during the initial ref discovery, we now inform the user on stderr, making attack (1) much more obvious. Second, the decision to follow redirects is now configurable. The truly paranoid can set the new http.followRedirects to false to avoid any redirection entirely. But for a more practical default, we will disallow redirects only after the initial ref discovery. This is enough to thwart attacks similar to (2), while still allowing the common use of redirects at the repository level. Since c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see redirects, 2013-09-28) we re-root all further requests from the redirect destination, which should generally mean that no further redirection is necessary. As an escape hatch, in case there really is a server that needs to redirect individual requests, the user can set http.followRedirects to "true" (and this can be done on a per-server basis via http.*.followRedirects config).

2016-12-06http: always update the base URL for redirectsLibravatar Jeff King4-4/+21
If a malicious server redirects the initial ref advertisement, it may be able to leak sha1s from other, unrelated servers that the client has access to. For example, imagine that Alice is a git user, she has access to a private repository on a server hosted by Bob, and Mallory runs a malicious server and wants to find out about Bob's private repository. Mallory asks Alice to clone an unrelated repository from her over HTTP. When Alice's client contacts Mallory's server for the initial ref advertisement, the server issues an HTTP redirect for Bob's server. Alice contacts Bob's server and gets the ref advertisement for the private repository. If there is anything to fetch, she then follows up by asking the server for one or more sha1 objects. But who is the server? If it is still Mallory's server, then Alice will leak the existence of those sha1s to her. Since commit c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see redirects, 2013-09-28), the client usually rewrites the base URL such that all further requests will go to Bob's server. But this is done by textually matching the URL. If we were originally looking for "http://mallory/repo.git/info/refs", and we got pointed at "http://bob/other.git/info/refs", then we know that the right root is "http://bob/other.git". If the redirect appears to change more than just the root, we punt and continue to use the original server. E.g., imagine the redirect adds a URL component that Bob's server will ignore, like "http://bob/other.git/info/refs?dummy=1". We can solve this by aborting in this case rather than silently continuing to use Mallory's server. In addition to protecting from sha1 leakage, it's arguably safer and more sane to refuse a confusing redirect like that in general. For example, part of the motivation in c93c92f30 is avoiding accidentally sending credentials over clear http, just to get a response that says "try again over https". So even in a non-malicious case, we'd prefer to err on the side of caution. The downside is that it's possible this will break a legitimate but complicated server-side redirection scheme. The setup given in the newly added test does work, but it's convoluted enough that we don't need to care about it. A more plausible case would be a server which redirects a request for "info/refs?service=git-upload-pack" to just "info/refs" (because it does not do smart HTTP, and for some reason really dislikes query parameters). Right now we would transparently downgrade to dumb-http, but with this patch, we'd complain (and the user would have to set GIT_SMART_HTTP=0 to fetch).

2016-12-06GIT-VERSION-GEN: do not force abbreviation length used by 'describe'Libravatar Ramsay Jones1-1/+1
The default version name for a Git binary is computed by running "git describe" on the commit the binary is made out of, basing on a tag whose name matches "v[0-9]*", e.g. v2.11.0-rc2-2-g7f1dc9. In the very early days, with 9b88fcef7d ("Makefile: use git-describe to mark the git version.", 2005-12-27), we used "--abbrev=4" to get absolute minimum number of abbreviated commit object name. This was later changed to match the default minimum of 7 with bf505158d0 ("Git 1.7.10.1", 2012-05-01). These days, the "default minimum" scales automatically depending on the size of the repository, and there is no point in specifying a particular abbreviation length; all we wanted since Git 1.7.10.1 days was to get "something reasonable we would use by default". Just drop "--abbrev=<number>" from the invocation of "git describe" and let the command pick what it thinks is appropriate, taking the end user's configuration and the repository contents into account.

2016-12-05tag, branch, for-each-ref: add --ignore-case for sorting and filteringLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy10-17/+112
This options makes sorting ignore case, which is great when you have branches named bug-12-do-something, Bug-12-do-some-more and BUG-12-do-what and want to group them together. Sorting externally may not be an option because we lose coloring and column layout from git-branch and git-tag. The same could be said for filtering, but it's probably less important because you can always go with the ugly pattern [bB][uU][gG]-* if you're desperate. You can't have case-sensitive filtering and case-insensitive sorting (or the other way around) with this though. For branch and tag, that should be no problem. for-each-ref, as a plumbing, might want finer control. But we can always add --{filter,sort}-ignore-case when there is a need for it.
