2015-08-17send-email: provide whitelist of SMTP AUTH mechanismsLibravatar Jan Viktorin1-0/+13
When sending an e-mail, the client and server must agree on an authentication mechanism. Some servers (due to misconfiguration or a bug) deny valid credentials for certain mechanisms. In this patch, a new option --smtp-auth and configuration entry smtpAuth are introduced. If smtp_auth is defined, it works as a whitelist of allowed mechanisms for authentication selected from the ones supported by the installed SASL perl library.

2015-08-07refs: support negative transfer.hideRefsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
If you hide a hierarchy of refs using the transfer.hideRefs config, there is no way to later override that config to "unhide" it. This patch implements a "negative" hide which causes matches to immediately be marked as unhidden, even if another match would hide it. We take care to apply the matches in reverse-order from how they are fed to us by the config machinery, as that lets our usual "last one wins" config precedence work (and entries in .git/config, for example, will override /etc/gitconfig). So you can now do: $ git config --system transfer.hideRefs refs/secret $ git config transfer.hideRefs '!refs/secret/not-so-secret' to hide refs/secret in all repos, except for one public bit in one specific repo. Or you can even do: $ git clone \ -u "git -c transfer.hiderefs="!refs/foo" upload-pack" \ remote:repo.git to clone remote:repo.git, overriding any hiding it has configured. There are two alternatives that were considered and rejected: 1. A generic config mechanism for removing an item from a list. E.g.: (e.g., "[transfer] hideRefs -= refs/foo"). This is nice because it could apply to other multi-valued config, as well. But it is not nearly as flexible. There is no way to say: [transfer] hideRefs = refs/secret hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret Having explicit negative specifications means we can override previous entries, even if they are not the same literal string. 2. Adding another variable to override some parts of hideRefs (e.g., "exposeRefs"). This solves the problem from alternative (1), but it cannot easily obey the normal config precedence, because it would use two separate lists. For example: [transfer] hideRefs = refs/secret exposeRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret hideRefs = refs/secret/not-so-secret/no-really-its-secret With two lists, we have to apply the "expose" rules first, and only then apply the "hide" rules. But that does not match what the above config intends. Of course we could internally parse that to a single list, respecting the ordering, which saves us having to invent the new "!" syntax. But using a single name communicates to the user that the ordering _is_ important. And "!" is well-known for negation, and should not appear at the beginning of a ref (it is actually valid in a ref-name, but all entries here should be fully-qualified, starting with "refs/").
