2018-05-21completion: add and use --list-cmds=aliasLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
By providing aliases via --list-cmds=, we could simplify command collection code in the script. We only issue one git command. Before this patch that is "git config", after it's "git --list-cmds=". In "git help" completion case we actually reduce one "git" process (for getting guides) but that call was added in this series so it does not really count. A couple of bash functions are removed because they are not needed anymore. __git_compute_all_commands() and $__git_all_commands stay because they are still needed for completing pager.* config and without "alias" group, the result is still cacheable. There is a slight (good) change in _git_help() with this patch: before "git help <tab>" shows external commands (as in _not_ part of git) as well as part of $__git_all_commands. We have finer control over command listing now and can exclude that because we can't provide a man page for external commands anyway.

2018-05-21help: use command-list.txt for the source of guidesLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy3-3/+3
The help command currently hard codes the list of guides and their summary in C. Let's move this list to command-list.txt. This lets us extract summary lines from Documentation/git*.txt. This also potentially lets us list guides in git.txt, but I'll leave that for now. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-21help: add "-a --verbose" to list all commands with synopsisLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+3
This lists all recognized commands [1] by category. The group order follows closely git.txt. [1] We may actually show commands that are not built (e.g. if you set NO_PERL you don't have git-instaweb but it's still listed here). I ignore the problem because on Linux a git package could be split anyway. The "git-core" package may not contain git-instaweb even if it's built because it may end up in a separate package. We can't know anyway. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-21git: support --list-cmds=list-<category>Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
This allows us to select any group of commands by a category defined in command-list.txt. This is an internal/hidden option so we don't have to be picky about the category name or worried about exposing too much. This will be used later by git-completion.bash to retrieve certain command groups. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-05-21completion: implement and use --list-cmds=main,othersLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+2
This is part of the effort to break down and provide commands by category in machine-readable form. This could be helpful later on when completion script switches to use --list-cmds for selecting completable commands. It would be much easier for the user to choose to complete _all_ commands instead of the default selection by passing different values to --list-cmds in git-completino.bash. While at there, replace "git help -a" in git-completion.bash with --list-cmds since it's better suited for this task.

2018-05-21git.c: convert --list-* to --list-cmds=*Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+6
Even if these are hidden options, let's make them a bit more generic since we're introducing more listing types shortly. The code is structured to allow combining multiple listing types together because we will soon add more types the 'builtins'. 'parseopt' remains separate because it has separate (SPC) to match git-completion.bash needs and will not combine with others.

2018-04-05git-svn: allow empty email-address using authors-prog and authors-fileLibravatar Andreas Heiduk1-3/+5
The email address in --authors-file and --authors-prog can be empty but git-svn translated it into a fictional email address in the form jondoe <jondoe@6aafaa21e0fb4338a68ab372a049893d> containing the SVN repository UUID. Now git-svn behaves like git-commit: If the email is *explicitly* set to the empty string using '<>', the commit does not contain an email address, only the name: jondoe <> Allowing to remove the email address *intentionally* prevents automatic systems from sending emails to those fictional addresses and avoids cluttering the log output with unnecessary stuff.

In 36db1eddf9 ("git-svn: add --authors-prog option", 2009-05-14) the path to authors-prog was made absolute because git-svn changes the current directory in some situations. This makes sense if the program is part of the repository but prevents searching via $PATH. The old behaviour is still retained, but if the file does not exists, then authors-prog is searched for in $PATH as any other command.

2018-03-29upload-pack: disable object filtering when disabled by configLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-1/+1
When upload-pack gained partial clone support (v2.17.0-rc0~132^2~12, 2017-12-08), it was guarded by the uploadpack.allowFilter config item to allow server operators to control when they start supporting it. That config item didn't go far enough, though: it controls whether the 'filter' capability is advertised, but if a (custom) client ignores the capability advertisement and passes a filter specification anyway, the server would handle that despite allowFilter being false. This is particularly significant if a security bug is discovered in this new experimental partial clone code. Installations without uploadpack.allowFilter ought not to be affected since they don't intend to support partial clone, but they would be swept up into being vulnerable. Simplify and limit the attack surface by making uploadpack.allowFilter disable the feature, not just the advertisement of it.

2018-03-27git-stash.txt: remove extra square bracketLibravatar Thomas Gummerer1-1/+1
In 1ada5020b3 ("stash: use stash_push for no verb form", 2017-02-28), when the pathspec argument was introduced in 'git stash', that was also documented. However I forgot to remove an extra square bracket after the '--message' argument, even though the square bracket should have been after the pathspec argument (where it was also added). Remove the extra square bracket after the '--message' argument, to show that the pathspec argument should be used with the 'push' verb. While the pathspec argument can be used without the push verb, that's a special case described later in the man page, and removing the first extra square bracket instead of the second one makes the synopis easier to understand.

2018-03-27doc hash-function-transition: clarify what SHAttered meansLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-5/+24
Attempt to clarify what the SHAttered attack means in practice for Git. The previous version of the text made no mention whatsoever of Git already having a mitigation for this specific attack, which the SHAttered researchers claim will detect cryptanalytic collision attacks. I may have gotten some of the nuances wrong, but as far as I know this new text accurately summarizes the current situation with SHA-1 in git. I.e. git doesn't really use SHA-1 anymore, it uses Hardened-SHA-1 (they just so happen to produce the same outputs 99.99999999999...% of the time). Thus the previous text was incorrect in asserting that: [...]As a result [of SHAttered], SHA-1 cannot be considered cryptographically secure any more[...] That's not the case. We have a mitigation against SHAttered, *however* we consider it prudent to move to work towards a NewHash should future vulnerabilities in either SHA-1 or Hardened-SHA-1 emerge.

The gitattributes documentation claims that the pattern rules are largely the same as for gitignore. However, the rules for recursion are different. In an ideal world, we would make them the same (if for nothing else than consistency and simplicity), but that would create backwards compatibility issues.
