2014-11-30push: truly use "simple" as default, not "upstream"Libravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
The plan for the push.default transition had all along been to use the "simple" method rather than "upstream" as a default if the user did not specify their own push.default value. Commit 11037ee (push: switch default from "matching" to "simple", 2013-01-04) tried to implement that by moving PUSH_DEFAULT_UNSPECIFIED in our switch statement to fall-through to the PUSH_DEFAULT_SIMPLE case. When the commit that became 11037ee was originally written, that would have been enough. We would fall through to calling setup_push_upstream() with the "simple" parameter set to 1. However, it was delayed for a while until we were ready to make the transition in Git 2.0. And in the meantime, commit ed2b182 (push: change `simple` to accommodate triangular workflows, 2013-06-19) threw a monkey wrench into the works. That commit drops the "simple" parameter to setup_push_upstream, and instead checks whether the global "push_default" is PUSH_DEFAULT_SIMPLE. This is right when the user has explicitly configured push.default to simple, but wrong when we are a fall-through for the "unspecified" case. We never noticed because our push.default tests do not cover the case of the variable being totally unset; they only check the "simple" behavior itself.

2014-09-15push: the beginning of "git push --signed"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my 'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so the signature on the object alone is insufficient. The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later. Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate" (for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an orthogonal axis. The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this: 1. You push out your work with "git push --signed". 2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual, together with what protocol extension the receiving end supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails. Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is prepared in core: certificate version 0.1 pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700 7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master 3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable, falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows, followed by a copy of the protocol message lines. Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It is expected that new command packet types other than the old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in unsigned pushes. The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG, formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed, and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack). In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in turn comes before it sends the pack data. 3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable, which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be a good place to log all the received certificates for later audits. Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead. This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to review (in other words, the series at this step should never be released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one). As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of this step. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-06-20refactor skip_prefix to return a booleanLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+3
The skip_prefix() function returns a pointer to the content past the prefix, or NULL if the prefix was not found. While this is nice and simple, in practice it makes it hard to use for two reasons: 1. When you want to conditionally skip or keep the string as-is, you have to introduce a temporary variable. For example: tmp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo"); if (tmp) buf = tmp; 2. It is verbose to check the outcome in a conditional, as you need extra parentheses to silence compiler warnings. For example: if ((cp = skip_prefix(buf, "foo")) /* do something with cp */ Both of these make it harder to use for long if-chains, and we tend to use starts_with() instead. However, the first line of "do something" is often to then skip forward in buf past the prefix, either using a magic constant or with an extra strlen(3) (which is generally computed at compile time, but means we are repeating ourselves). This patch refactors skip_prefix() to return a simple boolean, and to provide the pointer value as an out-parameter. If the prefix is not found, the out-parameter is untouched. This lets you write: if (skip_prefix(arg, "foo ", &arg)) do_foo(arg); else if (skip_prefix(arg, "bar ", &arg)) do_bar(arg); Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Make "git push origin master" update the same ref that would be updated by our 'master' when "git push origin" (no refspecs) is run while the 'master' branch is checked out, which makes "git push" more symmetric to "git fetch" and more usable for the triangular workflow. * jc/push-refmap: push: also use "upstream" mapping when pushing a single ref push: use remote.$name.push as a refmap builtin/push.c: use strbuf instead of manual allocation
2013-12-04push: also use "upstream" mapping when pushing a single refLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+11
When the user is using the 'upstream' mode, these commands: $ git push $ git push origin would find the 'upstream' branch for the current branch, and then push the current branch to update it. However, pushing a single branch explicitly, i.e. $ git push origin $(git symbolic-ref --short HEAD) would not go through the same ref mapping process, and ends up updating the branch at 'origin' of the same name, which may not necessarily be the upstream of the branch being pushed. In the spirit similar to the previous one, map a colon-less refspec using the upstream mapping logic. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-12-04push: use remote.$name.push as a refmapLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+38
Since f2690487 (fetch: opportunistically update tracking refs, 2013-05-11), we stopped taking a non-storing refspec given on the command line of "git fetch" literally, and instead started mapping it via remote.$name.fetch refspecs. This allows $ git fetch origin master from the 'origin' repository, which is configured with [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* to update refs/remotes/origin/master with the result, as if the command line were $ git fetch origin +master:refs/remotes/origin/master to reduce surprises and improve usability. Before that change, a refspec on the command line without a colon was only to fetch the history and leave the result in FETCH_HEAD, without updating the remote-tracking branches. When you are simulating a fetch from you by your mothership with a push by you into your mothership, instead of having: [remote "satellite"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/* on the mothership repository and running: mothership$ git fetch satellite you would have: [remote "mothership"] push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/satellite/* on your satellite machine, and run: satellite$ git push mothership Because we so far did not make the corresponding change to the push side, this command: satellite$ git push mothership master does _not_ allow you on the satellite to only push 'master' out but still to the usual destination (i.e. refs/remotes/satellite/master). Implement the logic to map an unqualified refspec given on the command line via the remote.$name.push refspec. This will bring a bit more symmetry between "fetch" and "push".

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force", by requiring that the overwritten remote ref to be unchanged since the new history to replace it was prepared. The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity (the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force). The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile (e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass, defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them. * jc/push-cas: push: teach --force-with-lease to smart-http transport send-pack: fix parsing of --force-with-lease option t5540/5541: smart-http does not support "--force-with-lease" t5533: test "push --force-with-lease" push --force-with-lease: tie it all together push --force-with-lease: implement logic to populate old_sha1_expect[] remote.c: add command line option parser for "--force-with-lease" builtin/push.c: use OPT_BOOL, not OPT_BOOLEAN cache.h: move remote/connect API out of it

2013-08-13push: respect --no-thinLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-3/+2
- From the beginning of push.c in 755225d, 2006-04-29, "thin" option was enabled by default but could be turned off with --no-thin. - Then Shawn changed the default to 0 in favor of saving server resources in a4503a1, 2007-09-09. --no-thin worked great. - One day later, in 9b28851 Daniel extracted some code from push.c to create transport.c. He (probably accidentally) flipped the default value from 0 to 1 in transport_get(). From then on --no-thin is effectively no-op because git-push still expects the default value to be false and only calls transport_set_option() when "thin" variable in push.c is true (which is unnecessary). Correct the code to respect --no-thin by calling transport_set_option() in both cases. receive-pack learns about --reject-thin-pack-for-testing option, which only is for testing purposes, hence no document update.

2013-07-22push --force-with-lease: implement logic to populate old_sha1_expect[]Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+7
This plugs the push_cas_option data collected by the command line option parser to the transport system with a new function apply_push_cas(), which is called after match_push_refs() has already been called. At this point, we know which remote we are talking to, and what remote refs we are going to update, so we can fill in the details that may have been missing from the command line, such as (1) what abbreviated refname the user gave us matches the actual refname at the remote; and (2) which remote-tracking branch in our local repository to read the value of the object to expect at the remote. to populate the old_sha1_expect[] field of each of the remote ref. As stated in the documentation, the use of remote-tracking branch as the default is a tentative one, and we may come up with a better logic as we gain experience. Still nobody uses this information, which is the topic of the next patch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-07-22remote.c: add command line option parser for "--force-with-lease"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
Update "git push" and "git send-pack" to parse this commnd line option. The intended sematics is: * "--force-with-lease" alone, without specifying the details, will protect _all_ remote refs that are going to be updated by requiring their current value to be the same as some reasonable default, unless otherwise specified; * "--force-with-lease=refname", without specifying the expected value, will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be the same as some reasonable default. * "--force-with-lease=refname:value" will protect that refname, if it is going to be updated, by requiring its current value to be the same as the specified value; and * "--no-force-with-lease" will cancel all the previous --force-with-lease on the command line. For now, "some reasonable default" is tentatively defined as "the value of the remote-tracking branch we have for the ref of the remote being updated", and it is an error if we do not have such a remote-tracking branch. But this is known to be fragile, its use is not yet recommended, and hopefully we will find more reasonable default as we gain experience with this feature. The manual marks the feature as experimental unless the expected value is specified explicitly for this reason. Because the command line options are parsed _before_ we know which remote we are pushing to, there needs further processing to the parsed data after we instantiate the transport object to: * expand "refname" given by the user to a full refname to be matched with the list of "struct ref" used in match_push_refs() and set_ref_status_for_push(); and * learning the actual local ref that is the remote-tracking branch for the specified remote ref. Further, some processing need to be deferred until we find the set of remote refs and match_push_refs() returns in order to find the ones that need to be checked after explicit ones have been processed for "--force-with-lease" (no specific details). These post-processing will be the topic of the next patch. This option was originally called "cas" (for "compare and swap"), the name which nobody liked because it was too technical. The second attempt called it "lockref" (because it is conceptually like pushing after taking a lock) but the word "lock" was hated because it implied that it may reject push by others, which is not the way this option works. This round calls it "force-with-lease". You assume you took the lease on the ref when you fetched to decide what the rebased history should be, and you can push back only if the lease has not been broken.

2013-06-24push: change `simple` to accommodate triangular workflowsLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-12/+31
When remote.pushdefault or branch.<name>.pushremote is set to a remote that is different from where you usually fetch from (i.e. a triangular workflow), master@{u} != origin, and push.default is set to `upstream` or `simple` would fail with this error: $ git push fatal: You are pushing to remote 'origin', which is not the upstream of your current branch 'master', without telling me what to push to update which remote branch. The very name of "upstream" indicates that it is only suitable for use in central workflows; let us not even attempt to give it a new meaning in triangular workflows, and error out as before. However, the `simple` does not have to share this error. It is poised to be the default for Git 2.0, and we would like it to do something sensible in triangular workflows. Redefine "simple" as "safer upstream" for centralized workflow as before, but work as "current" for triangular workflow. We may want to make it "safer current", but that is a separate issue.

With this change, the output of the push (with push.default set to current) changes subtly from: $ git push ... * [new branch] HEAD -> push-current-head to: $ git push ... * [new branch] push-current-head -> push-current-head This patch was written with a different motivation. There is a problem unique to push.default = current: # on branch push-current-head $ git push # on another terminal $ git checkout master # return to the first terminal # the push tried to push master! This happens because the 'git checkout' on the second terminal races with the 'git push' on the first terminal.

2013-04-02remote.c: introduce a way to have different remotes for fetch/pushLibravatar Ramkumar Ramachandra1-1/+1
Currently, do_push() in push.c calls remote_get(), which gets the configured remote for fetching and pushing. Replace this call with a call to pushremote_get() instead, a new function that will return the remote configured specifically for pushing. This function tries to work with the string pushremote_name, before falling back to the codepath of remote_get(). This patch has no visible impact, but serves to enable future patches to introduce configuration variables to set pushremote_name. For example, you can now do the following in handle_config(): if (!strcmp(key, "remote.pushdefault")) git_config_string(&pushremote_name, key, value); Then, pushes will automatically go to the remote specified by remote.pushdefault.

2013-01-24push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCELibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+30
When we push to update an existing ref, if: * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or * the object we are pushing is not a commit, it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again, as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is involved in such a case. If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved. In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from there and integrate before pushing again. Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages appropriately. [jc: with help by Peff on message details] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-01-18push: Add support for pre-push hooksLibravatar Aaron Schrab1-0/+1
Add support for a pre-push hook which can be used to determine if the set of refs to be pushed is suitable for the target repository. The hook is run with two arguments specifying the name and location of the destination repository. Information about what is to be pushed is provided by sending lines of the following form to the hook's standard input: <local ref> SP <local sha1> SP <remote ref> SP <remote sha1> LF If the hook exits with a non-zero status, the push will be aborted. This will allow the script to determine if the push is acceptable based on the target repository and branch(es), the commits which are to be pushed, and even the source branches in some cases.

2012-12-03push: allow already-exists advice to be disabledLibravatar Chris Rorvick1-0/+2
Add 'advice.pushAlreadyExists' option to disable the advice shown when an update is rejected for a reference that is not allowed to update at all (verses those that are allowed to fast-forward.) Signed-off-by: Chris Rorvick <chris@rorvick.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-12-03push: rename config variable for more general useLibravatar Chris Rorvick1-3/+3
The 'pushNonFastForward' advice config can be used to squelch several instances of push-related advice. Rename it to 'pushUpdateRejected' to cover other reject scenarios that are unrelated to fast-forwarding. Retain the old name for compatibility.

2012-12-02push: require force for refs under refs/tags/Libravatar Chris Rorvick1-1/+1
References are allowed to update from one commit-ish to another if the former is an ancestor of the latter. This behavior is oriented to branches which are expected to move with commits. Tag references are expected to be static in a repository, though, thus an update to something under refs/tags/ should be rejected unless the update is forced.

2012-12-02push: add advice for rejected tag referenceLibravatar Chris Rorvick1-0/+11
Advising the user to fetch and merge only makes sense if the rejected reference is a branch. If none of the rejections are for branches, just tell the user the reference already exists. Signed-off-by: Chris Rorvick <chris@rorvick.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

In the next major release, we will switch "git push [$there]" that does not say what to push from the traditional "matching" to the updated "simple" semantics, that pushes the current branch to the branch with the same name only when the current branch is set to integrate with that remote branch (all other cases will error out). * mm/push-default-switch-warning: push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default

In preparation for flipping the default to the "simple" mode from the "matching" mode that is the historical default, start warning users when they rely on unconfigured "git push" to default to the "matching" mode. Also, advertise for 'simple' where 'current' and 'upstream' are advised. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-05-02Merge branch 'mm/simple-push'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+45
New users tend to work on one branch at a time and push the result out. The current and upstream modes of push is a more suitable default mode than matching mode for these people, but neither is surprise-free depending on how the project is set up. Introduce a "simple" mode that is a subset of "upstream" but only works when the branch is named the same between the remote and local repositories. The plan is to make it the new default when push.default is not configured.
