2011-12-11introduce credentials APILibravatar Jeff King1-0/+241
There are a few places in git that need to get a username and password credential from the user; the most notable one is HTTP authentication for smart-http pushing. Right now the only choices for providing credentials are to put them plaintext into your ~/.netrc, or to have git prompt you (either on the terminal or via an askpass program). The former is not very secure, and the latter is not very convenient. Unfortunately, there is no "always best" solution for password management. The details will depend on the tradeoff you want between security and convenience, as well as how git can integrate with other security systems (e.g., many operating systems provide a keychain or password wallet for single sign-on). This patch provides an abstract notion of credentials as a data item, and provides three basic operations: - fill (i.e., acquire from external storage or from the user) - approve (mark a credential as "working" for further storage) - reject (mark a credential as "not working", so it can be removed from storage) These operations can be backed by external helper processes that interact with system- or user-specific secure storage.

2011-11-22revert: introduce --abort to cancel a failed cherry-pickLibravatar Jonathan Nieder3-0/+5
After running some ill-advised command like "git cherry-pick HEAD..linux-next", the bewildered novice may want to return to more familiar territory. Introduce a "git cherry-pick --abort" command that rolls back the entire cherry-pick sequence and places the repository back on solid ground. Just like "git merge --abort", this internally uses "git reset --merge", so local changes not involved in the conflict resolution are preserved.

2011-11-22revert: rename --reset option to --quitLibravatar Jonathan Nieder3-7/+7
The option to "git cherry-pick" and "git revert" to discard the sequencer state introduced by v1.7.8-rc0~141^2~6 (revert: Introduce --reset to remove sequencer state, 2011-08-04) has a confusing name. Change it now, while we still have the time. The new name for "cherry-pick, please get out of my way, since I've long forgotten about the sequence of commits I was cherry-picking when you wrote that old .git/sequencer directory" is --quit. Mnemonic: this is analagous to quiting a program the user is no longer using --- we just want to get out of the multiple-command cherry-pick procedure and not to reset HEAD or rewind any other old state. The "--reset" option is kept as a synonym to minimize the impact. We might consider dropping it for simplicity in a separate patch, though. Adjust documentation and tests to use the newly preferred name (--quit) instead of --reset. While at it, let's clarify the short descriptions of these operations in "-h" output. Before: --reset forget the current operation --continue continue the current operation After: --quit end revert or cherry-pick sequence --continue resume revert or cherry-pick sequence Noticed-by: Phil Hord <phil.hord@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2011-10-23RelNotes/1.7.7.1: setgid bit patch is about fixing "git init" via Makefile ↵Libravatar Jonathan Nieder1-2/+3
setting The change was actually about "git init -s" which sets the setgid bit on SysV-style systems to allow shared access to a repository, and can provoke errors on BSD-style systems, depending on how permissive the filesystem in use wants to be. More to the point, the patch was just taking a fix that arrived for FreeBSD in v1.5.5 days and making it also apply to machines using an (obscure) GNU userland/FreeBSD kernel mixture.
