2014-09-15push: the beginning of "git push --signed"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+8
While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my 'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so the signature on the object alone is insufficient. The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later. Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate" (for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an orthogonal axis. The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this: 1. You push out your work with "git push --signed". 2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual, together with what protocol extension the receiving end supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails. Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is prepared in core: certificate version 0.1 pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700 7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master 3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable, falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows, followed by a copy of the protocol message lines. Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It is expected that new command packet types other than the old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in unsigned pushes. The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG, formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed, and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack). In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in turn comes before it sends the pack data. 3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable, which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be a good place to log all the received certificates for later audits. Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead. This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to review (in other words, the series at this step should never be released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one). As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of this step. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2013-12-04push: use remote.$name.push as a refmapLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+7
Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs, 2013-05-11), we stopped taking a non-storing refspec given on the command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs. This allows $ git fetch origin master from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* to update refs/remotes/origin/master with the result, as if the command line were $ git fetch origin +master:refs/remotes/origin/master to reduce surprises and improve usability. Before that change, a refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the remote-tracking branches. When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a push by you into your mothership, instead of having: [remote "satellite"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/* on the mothership repository and running: mothership$ git fetch satellite you would have: [remote "mothership"] push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/* on your satellite machine, and run: satellite$ git push mothership Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push side, this command: satellite$ git push mothership master does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master). Implement the logic to map an unqualified refspec given on the command line via the remote.$name.push refspec. This will bring a bit more symmetry between "fetch" and "push".

2013-07-22remote.c: add command line option parser for "--force-with-lease"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-11/+66
Update "git push" and "git send-pack" to parse this commnd line option. The intended sematics is: * "--force-with-lease" alone, without specifying the details, will protect _all_ remote refs that are going to be updated by requiring their current value to be the same as some reasonable default, unless otherwise specified; * "--force-with-lease=refname", without specifying the expected value, will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be the same as some reasonable default. * "--force-with-lease=refname:value" will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be the same as the specified value; and * "--no-force-with-lease" will cancel all the previous --force-with-lease on the command line. For now, "some reasonable default" is tentatively defined as "the value of the remote-tracking branch we have for the ref of the remote being updated", and it is an error if we do not have such a remote-tracking branch. But this is known to be fragile, its use is not yet recommended, and hopefully we will find more reasonable default as we gain experience with this feature. The manual marks the feature as experimental unless the expected value is specified explicitly for this reason. Because the command line options are parsed _before_ we know which remote we are pushing to, there needs further processing to the parsed data after we instantiate the transport object to: * expand "refname" given by the user to a full refname to be matched with the list of "struct ref" used in match_push_refs() and set_ref_status_for_push(); and * learning the actual local ref that is the remote-tracking branch for the specified remote ref. Further, some processing need to be deferred until we find the set of remote refs and match_push_refs() returns in order to find the ones that need to be checked after explicit ones have been processed for "--force-with-lease" (no specific details). These post-processing will be the topic of the next patch. This option was originally called "cas" (for "compare and swap"), the name which nobody liked because it was too technical. The second attempt called it "lockref" (because it is conceptually like pushing after taking a lock) but the word "lock" was hated because it implied that it may reject push by others, which is not the way this option works. This round calls it "force-with-lease". You assume you took the lease on the ref when you fetched to decide what the rebased history should be, and you can push back only if the lease has not been broken.

We describe what gets pushed by default when the command line does not give any <refspec> under the bullet point of <refspec>. It is a bit unfriendly to expect users to read on <refspec> when they are not giving any in the first place. "What gets pushed" is determined by taking many factors (<refspec> argument being only one of them) into account, and is a property of the entire command, not an individual argument. Also we do not describe "Where the push goes" when the command line does not say. Give the description on "what gets pushed to where" upfront before explaining individual arguments and options.

2012-04-26docs: stop using asciidoc no-inline-literalLibravatar Jeff King1-7/+7
In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

However, they can sometimes be hard to read, because they are shown in a proportional-width font (so, for example, seeing the difference between "-- foo" and "--foo" can be difficult). This patch puts all such examples into backticks, which gives the equivalent formatting to a listing block (i.e., monospaced and without character interpretation). As a bonus, this also fixes an example in the git-push manpage, in which "git push origin :::" was accidentally considered a newly-indented list, and not a list item with "git push origin :" in it.

2011-03-11doc: drop author/documentation sections from most pagesLibravatar Jeff King1-10/+0
The point of these sections is generally to: 1. Give credit where it is due. 2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or file bug reports. But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody useless. So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section to give credit to the major contributors and point to shortlog and blame for more information. Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can follow that to the main git manpage.

Fix references to gitrevisions(1) in the manual pages and HTML documentation. In practice, this will not matter much unless someone tries to use a hard copy of the git reference manual. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
