2018-08-07doc hash-function-transition: pick SHA-256 as NewHashLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-98/+98
From a security perspective, it seems that SHA-256, BLAKE2, SHA3-256, K12, and so on are all believed to have similar security properties. All are good options from a security point of view. SHA-256 has a number of advantages: * It has been around for a while, is widely used, and is supported by just about every single crypto library (OpenSSL, mbedTLS, CryptoNG, SecureTransport, etc). * When you compare against SHA1DC, most vectorized SHA-256 implementations are indeed faster, even without acceleration. * If we're doing signatures with OpenPGP (or even, I suppose, CMS), we're going to be using SHA-2, so it doesn't make sense to have our security depend on two separate algorithms when either one of them alone could break the security when we could just depend on one. So SHA-256 it is. Update the hash-function-transition design doc to say so. After this patch, there are no remaining instances of the string "NewHash", except for an unrelated use from 2008 as a variable name in t/t9700/test.pl.

2018-07-20midx: write object offsetsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-1/+14
The final pair of chunks for the multi-pack-index file stores the object offsets. We default to using 32-bit offsets as in the pack-index version 1 format, but if there exists an offset larger than 32-bits, we use a trick similar to the pack-index version 2 format by storing all offsets at least 2^31 in a 64-bit table; we use the 32-bit table to point into that 64-bit table as necessary. We only store these 64-bit offsets if necessary, so create a test that manipulates a version 2 pack-index to fake a large offset. This allows us to test that the large offset table is created, but the data does not match the actual packfile offsets. The multi-pack-index offset does match the (corrupted) pack-index offset, so a future feature will compare these offsets during a 'verify' step.

2018-07-20multi-pack-index: write pack names in chunkLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+6
The multi-pack-index needs to track which packfiles it indexes. Store these in our first required chunk. Since filenames are not well structured, add padding to keep good alignment in later chunks. Modify the 'git multi-pack-index read' subcommand to output the existence of the pack-file name chunk. Modify t5319-multi-pack-index.sh to reflect this new output and the new expected number of chunks. Defense in depth: A pattern we are using in the multi-pack-index feature is to verify the data as we write it. We want to ensure we never write invalid data to the multi-pack-index. There are many checks that verify that the values we are writing fit the format definitions. This mainly helps developers while working on the feature, but it can also identify issues that only appear when dealing with very large data sets. These large sets are hard to encode into test cases. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2018-07-12multi-pack-index: add format detailsLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-0/+49
The multi-pack-index feature generalizes the existing pack-index feature by indexing objects across multiple pack-files. Describe the basic file format, using a 12-byte header followed by a lookup table for a list of "chunks" which will be described later. The file ends with a footer containing a checksum using the hash algorithm. The header allows later versions to create breaking changes by advancing the version number. We can also change the hash algorithm using a different version value. We will add the individual chunk format information as we introduce the code that writes that information.

2018-07-09upload-pack: send refs' objects despite "filter"Libravatar Jonathan Tan1-1/+3
A filter line in a request to upload-pack filters out objects regardless of whether they are directly referenced by a "want" line or not. This means that cloning with "--filter=blob:none" (or another filter that excludes blobs) from a repository with at least one ref pointing to a blob (for example, the Git repository itself) results in output like the following: error: missing object referenced by 'refs/tags/junio-gpg-pub' and if that particular blob is not referenced by a fetched tree, the resulting clone fails fsck because there is no object from the remote to vouch that the missing object is a promisor object. Update both the protocol and the upload-pack implementation to include all explicitly specified "want" objects in the packfile regardless of the filter specification.

2018-06-28commit-graph: fix documentation inconsistenciesLibravatar Derrick Stolee1-5/+5
The commit-graph feature shipped in Git 2.18 has some inconsistencies in the constants used by the implementation and specified by the format document. The commit data chunk uses the key "CDAT" in the file format, but was previously documented to say "CGET". The commit data chunk stores commit parents using two 32-bit fields that typically store the integer position of the parent in the list of commit ids within the commit-graph file. When a parent does not exist, we had documented the value 0xffffffff, but implemented the value 0x70000000. This swap is easy to correct in the documentation, but unfortunately reduces the number of commits that we can store in the commit-graph. Update that estimate, too.

2018-06-28upload-pack: implement ref-in-wantLibravatar Brandon Williams1-1/+27
Currently, while performing packfile negotiation, clients are only allowed to specify their desired objects using object ids. This causes a vulnerability to failure when an object turns non-existent during negotiation, which may happen if, for example, the desired repository is provided by multiple Git servers in a load-balancing arrangement and there exists replication delay. In order to eliminate this vulnerability, implement the ref-in-want feature for the 'fetch' command in protocol version 2. This feature enables the 'fetch' command to support requests in the form of ref names through a new "want-ref <ref>" parameter. At the conclusion of negotiation, the server will send a list of all of the wanted references (as provided by "want-ref" lines) in addition to the generated packfile.

2018-05-11get_short_oid: sort ambiguous objects by type, then SHA-1Libravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-6/+11
Change the output emitted when an ambiguous object is encountered so that we show tags first, then commits, followed by trees, and finally blobs. Within each type we show objects in hashcmp() order. Before this change the objects were only ordered by hashcmp(). The reason for doing this is that the output looks better as a result, e.g. the v2.17.0 tag before this change on "git show e8f2" would display: hint: The candidates are: hint: e8f2093055 tree hint: e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name hint: e8f21d02f7 blob hint: e8f21d577c blob hint: e8f25a3a50 tree hint: e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src hint: e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0 hint: e8f2867228 blob hint: e8f28d537c tree hint: e8f2a35526 blob hint: e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries hint: e8f2cf6ec0 tree Now we'll instead show: hint: e8f2650052 tag v2.17.0 hint: e8f21caf94 commit 2013-06-24 - bash prompt: print unique detached HEAD abbreviated object name hint: e8f26250fa commit 2017-02-03 - Merge pull request #996 from jeffhostetler/jeffhostetler/register_rename_src hint: e8f2bc0c06 commit 2015-05-10 - Documentation: note behavior for multiple remote.url entries hint: e8f2093055 tree hint: e8f25a3a50 tree hint: e8f28d537c tree hint: e8f2cf6ec0 tree hint: e8f21d02f7 blob hint: e8f21d577c blob hint: e8f2867228 blob hint: e8f2a35526 blob Since we show the commit data in the output that's nicely aligned once we sort by object type. The decision to show tags before commits is pretty arbitrary. I don't want to order by object_type since there tags come last after blobs, which doesn't make sense if we want to show the most important things first. I could display them after commits, but it's much less likely that we'll display a tag, so if there is one it makes sense to show it prominently at the top. A note on the implementation: Derrick rightly pointed out[1] that we're bending over backwards here in get_short_oid() to first de-duplicate the list, and then emit it, but could simply do it in one step. The reason for that is that oid_array_for_each_unique() doesn't actually require that the array be sorted by oid_array_sort(), it just needs to be sorted in some order that guarantees that all objects with the same ID are adjacent to one another, which (barring a hash collision, which'll be someone else's problem) the sort_ambiguous() function does. I agree that would be simpler for this code, and had forgotten why I initially wrote it like this[2]. But on further reflection I think it's better to do more work here just so we're not underhandedly using the oid-array API where we lie about the list being sorted. That would break any subsequent use of oid_array_lookup() in subtle ways. I could get around that by hacking the API itself to support this use-case and documenting it, which I did as a WIP patch in [3], but I think it's too much code smell just for this one call site. It's simpler for the API to just introduce a oid_array_for_each() function to eagerly spew out the list without sorting or de-duplication, and then do the de-duplication and sorting in two passes. 1. https://public-inbox.org/git/20180501130318.58251-1-dstolee@microsoft.com/ 2. https://public-inbox.org/git/876047ze9v.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ 3. https://public-inbox.org/git/874ljrzctc.fsf@evledraar.gmail.com/ Helped-by: Derrick Stolee <dstolee@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
