2018-03-15fetch-pack: support shallow requestsLibravatar Brandon Williams1-7/+11

2018-03-15ls-refs: introduce ls-refs server commandLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+31
Introduce the ls-refs server command. In protocol v2, the ls-refs command is used to request the ref advertisement from the server. Since it is a command which can be requested (as opposed to mandatory in v1), a client can sent a number of parameters in its request to limit the ref advertisement based on provided ref-prefixes.

2018-03-15serve: introduce git-serveLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+170
Introduce git-serve, the base server for protocol version 2. Protocol version 2 is intended to be a replacement for Git's current wire protocol. The intention is that it will be a simpler, less wasteful protocol which can evolve over time. Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial ref advertisement. In its place a server will export a list of capabilities and commands which it supports in a capability advertisement. A client can then request that a particular command be executed by providing a number of capabilities and command specific parameters. At the completion of a command, a client can request that another command be executed or can terminate the connection by sending a flush packet.

2017-05-22dir: hide untracked contents of untracked dirsLibravatar Samuel Lijin1-0/+6
When we taught read_directory_recursive() to recurse into untracked directories in search of ignored files given DIR_SHOW_IGNORED_TOO, that had the side effect of teaching it to collect the untracked contents of untracked directories. It doesn't always make sense to return these, though (we do need them for `clean -d`), so we introduce a flag (DIR_KEEP_UNTRACKED_CONTENTS) to control whether or not read_directory() strips dir->entries of the untracked contents of untracked dirs. We also introduce check_contains() to check if one dir_entry corresponds to a path which contains the path corresponding to another dir_entry. This also fixes known breakages in t7061, since status --ignored now searches untracked directories for ignored files.

Some platforms have ulong that is smaller than time_t, and our historical use of ulong for timestamp would mean they cannot represent some timestamp that the platform allows.

2017-05-10receive-pack: verify push options in certLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-6/+26
In commit f6a4e61 ("push: accept push options", 2016-07-14), send-pack was taught to include push options both within the signed cert (if the push is a signed push) and outside the signed cert; however, receive-pack ignores push options within the cert, only handling push options outside the cert. Teach receive-pack, in the case that push options are provided for a signed push, to verify that the push options both within the cert and outside the cert are consistent. This sets in stone the requirement that send-pack redundantly send its push options in 2 places, but I think that this is better than the alternatives. Sending push options only within the cert is backwards-incompatible with existing Git servers (which read push options only from outside the cert), and sending push options only outside the cert means that the push options are not signed for.

2017-04-27timestamp_t: a new data type for timestampsLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-4/+4
Git's source code assumes that unsigned long is at least as precise as time_t. Which is incorrect, and causes a lot of problems, in particular where unsigned long is only 32-bit (notably on Windows, even in 64-bit versions). So let's just use a more appropriate data type instead. In preparation for this, we introduce the new `timestamp_t` data type. By necessity, this is a very, very large patch, as it has to replace all timestamps' data type in one go. As we will use a data type that is not necessarily identical to `time_t`, we need to be very careful to use `time_t` whenever we interact with the system functions, and `timestamp_t` everywhere else.

2017-04-17fetch-pack: show clearer error message upon ERRLibravatar Jonathan Tan1-1/+6
Currently, fetch-pack prints a confusing error message ("expected ACK/NAK") when the server it's communicating with sends a pkt-line starting with "ERR". Replace it with a less confusing error message. Also update the documentation describing the fetch-pack/upload-pack protocol (pack-protocol.txt) to indicate that "ERR" can be sent in the place of "ACK" or "NAK". In practice, this has been done for quite some time by other Git implementations (e.g. JGit sends "want $id not valid") and by Git itself (since commit bdb31ea: "upload-pack: report "not our ref" to client", 2017-02-23) whenever a "want" line references an object that it does not have.
