2015-04-14Merge branch 'jc/update-instead-into-void'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+20
A push into an unborn branch, with "receive.denyCurrentBranch" set to "updateInstead", did not check out the working tree as expected. * jc/update-instead-into-void: push-to-deploy: allow pushing into an unborn branch and updating it
2015-04-01push-to-deploy: allow pushing into an unborn branch and updating itLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+20
Setting receive.denycurrentbranch to updateinstead and pushing into the current branch, when the working tree and the index is truly clean, is supposed to reset the working tree and the index to match the tree of the pushed commit. This did not work when pushing into an unborn branch. The code that drives push-to-checkout hook needs no change, as the interface is defined so that hook can decide what to do when the push is coming to an unborn branch and take an appropriate action since the beginning.

2015-01-08receive-pack: support push-to-checkout hookLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+18
When receive.denyCurrentBranch is set to updateInstead, a push that tries to update the branch that is currently checked out is accepted only when the index and the working tree exactly matches the currently checked out commit, in which case the index and the working tree are updated to match the pushed commit. Otherwise the push is refused. This hook can be used to customize this "push-to-deploy" logic. The hook receives the commit with which the tip of the current branch is going to be updated, and can decide what kind of local changes are acceptable and how to update the index and the working tree to match the updated tip of the current branch. For example, the hook can simply run `git read-tree -u -m HEAD "$1"` in order to emulate 'git fetch' that is run in the reverse direction with `git push`, as the two-tree form of `read-tree -u -m` is essentially the same as `git checkout` that switches branches while keeping the local changes in the working tree that do not interfere with the difference between the branches.

This introduces the new function execute_commands_atomic which will use one atomic transaction for all updates. The default behavior is still the old non atomic way, one ref at a time. This is to cause as little disruption as possible to existing clients. It is unknown if there are client scripts that depend on the old non-atomic behavior so we make it opt-in for now. A later patch will add the possibility to actually use the functionality added by this patch. For now use_atomic is always 0.

Discussion on the previous patch revealed we rather want to err on the safe side. To do so we need to stop receive-pack in case of the possible future bug when connectivity is not checked on a shallow push. Also while touching that code we considered that removing the reported refs may be harmful in some situations.

Make the main "execute_commands" loop in receive-pack easier to read by splitting out some steps into helper functions. The new helper 'should_process_cmd' checks if a ref update is unnecessary, whether due to an error having occurred or for another reason. The helper 'warn_if_skipped_connectivity_check' warns if we have forgotten to run a connectivity check on a ref which is shallow for the client which would be a bug. This will help us to duplicate less code in a later patch when we make a second copy of the "execute_commands" loop. No functional change intended.

2014-12-01path.c: make get_pathname() call sites return const char *Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
Before the previous commit, get_pathname returns an array of PATH_MAX length. Even if git_path() and similar functions does not use the whole array, git_path() caller can, in theory. After the commit, get_pathname() may return a buffer that has just enough room for the returned string and git_path() caller should never write beyond that. Make git_path(), mkpath() and git_path_submodule() return a const buffer to make sure callers do not write in it at all. This could have been part of the previous commit, but the "const" conversion is too much distraction from the core changes in path.c.

2014-11-30receive-pack: add another option for receive.denyCurrentBranchLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-2/+91
When synchronizing between working directories, it can be handy to update the current branch via 'push' rather than 'pull', e.g. when pushing a fix from inside a VM, or when pushing a fix made on a user's machine (where the developer is not at liberty to install an ssh daemon let alone know the user's password). The common workaround – pushing into a temporary branch and then merging on the other machine – is no longer necessary with this patch. The new option is: 'updateInstead': Update the working tree accordingly, but refuse to do so if there are any uncommitted changes.

2014-09-17signed push: allow stale nonce in stateless modeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-10/+79
When operating with the stateless RPC mode, we will receive a nonce issued by another instance of us that advertised our capability and refs some time ago. Update the logic to check received nonce to detect this case, compute how much time has passed since the nonce was issued and report the status with a new environment variable GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP to the hooks. GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS will report "SLOP" in such a case. The hooks are free to decide how large a slop it is willing to accept. Strictly speaking, the "nonce" is not really a "nonce" anymore in the stateless RPC mode, as it will happily take any "nonce" issued by it (which is protected by HMAC and its secret key) as long as it is fresh enough. The degree of this security degradation, relative to the native protocol, is about the same as the "we make sure that the 'git push' decided to update our refs with new objects based on the freshest observation of our refs by making sure the values they claim the original value of the refs they ask us to update exactly match the current state" security is loosened to accomodate the stateless RPC mode in the existing code without this series, so there is no need for those who are already using smart HTTP to push to their repositories to be alarmed any more than they already are. In addition, the server operator can set receive.certnonceslop configuration variable to specify how stale a nonce can be (in seconds). When this variable is set, and if the nonce received in the certificate that passes the HMAC check was less than that many seconds old, hooks are given "OK" in GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS (instead of "SLOP") and the received nonce value is given in GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE, which makes it easier for a simple-minded hook to check if the certificate we received is recent enough.

2014-09-17signed push: fortify against replay attacksLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+124
In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer include it in the push certificate. The receiving end uses an HMAC hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge a nonce that looks like it originated from it. The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK" if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so that the hooks can more easily check.

2014-09-16receive-pack: allow hooks to ignore its standard input streamLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+6
The pre-receive and post-receive hooks were designed to be an improvement over old style update and post-update hooks, which take the update information on their command line and are limited by the command line length limit. The same information is fed from the standard input to pre/post-receive hooks instead to lift this limitation. It has been mandatory for these new style hooks to consume the update information fully from the standard input stream. Otherwise, they would risk killing the receive-pack process via SIGPIPE. If a hook does not want to look at all the information, it is easy to send its standard input to /dev/null (perhaps a niche use of hook might need to know only the fact that a push was made, without having to know what objects have been pushed to update which refs), and this has already been done by existing hooks that are written carefully. However, because there is no good way to consistently fail hooks that do not consume the input fully (a small push may result in a short update record that may fit within the pipe buffer, to which the receive-pack process may manage to write before the hook has a chance to exit without reading anything, which will not result in a death-by-SIGPIPE of receive-pack), it can lead to a hard to diagnose "once in a blue moon" phantom failure. Lift this "hooks must consume their input fully" mandate. A mandate that is not enforced strictly is not helping us to catch mistakes in hooks. If a hook has a good reason to decide the outcome of its operation without reading the information we feed it, let it do so as it pleases. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-09-15signed push: remove duplicated protocol infoLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+26
With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even though we already send a signed copy of the same information when push certificate is in use. Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair not to do so. The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet outside the push certificate. Otherwise a pusher can claim to be pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will evade later audits. Finally, start documenting the protocol. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2014-09-15push: the beginning of "git push --signed"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+52
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>

2014-09-15receive-pack: factor out queueing of commandLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-21/+29
Make a helper function to accept a line of a protocol message and queue an update command out of the code from read_head_info(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-09-15receive-pack: do not reuse old_sha1[] for other thingsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+5
This piece of code reads object names of shallow boundaries, not old_sha1[], i.e. the current value the ref points at, which is to be replaced by what is in new_sha1[]. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-09-15receive-pack: parse feature request a bit earlierLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-12/+14
Ideally, we should have also allowed the first "shallow" to carry the feature request trailer, but that is water under the bridge now. This makes the next step to factor out the queuing of commands easier to review. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-09-15receive-pack: do not overallocate command structureLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+3
An "update" command in the protocol exchange consists of 40-hex old object name, SP, 40-hex new object name, SP, and a refname, but the first instance is further followed by a NUL with feature requests. The command structure, which has a flex-array member that stores the refname at the end, was allocated based on the whole length of the update command, without excluding the trailing feature requests.

2014-09-03receive-pack.c: use a reference transaction for updating the refsLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-9/+16
Wrap all the ref updates inside a transaction. In the new API there is no distinction between failure to lock and failure to write a ref. Both can be permanent (e.g., a ref "refs/heads/topic" is blocking creation of the lock file "refs/heads/topic/1.lock") or transient (e.g., file system full) and there's no clear difference in how the client should respond, so replace the two statuses "failed to lock" and "failed to write" with a single status "failed to update ref". In both cases a more detailed message is sent by sideband to diagnose the problem. Example, before: error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic' remote: error: failed to lock refs/heads/topic To foo ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to lock) After: error: there are still refs under 'refs/heads/topic' remote: error: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/heads/topic'. To foo ! [remote rejected] HEAD -> topic (failed to update ref) Signed-off-by: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com> Reviewed-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-08-20run-command: introduce CHILD_PROCESS_INITLibravatar René Scharfe1-8/+4
Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after declaration. Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to initialize them statically instead. That's shorter, doesn't require a function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).
