2015-05-19Merge branch 'bc/connect-plink'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-21/+33
The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink" variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh"). * bc/connect-plink: connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positives t5601: fix quotation error leading to skipped tests connect: simplify SSH connection code path
2015-04-28connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positivesLibravatar brian m. carlson1-3/+15
The git_connect function has code to handle plink and tortoiseplink specially, as they require different command line arguments from OpenSSH (-P instead of -p for ports; tortoiseplink additionally requires -batch). However, the match was done by checking for "plink" anywhere in the string, which led to a GIT_SSH value containing "uplink" being treated as an invocation of putty's plink. Improve the check by looking for "plink" or "tortoiseplink" (or those names suffixed with ".exe") only in the final component of the path. This has the downside that a program such as "plink-0.63" would no longer be recognized, but the increased robustness is likely worth it. Add tests to cover these cases to avoid regressions.

The ssh:// syntax was added in 2386d658 (Add first cut at "git protocol" connect logic., 2005-07-13), it accepted ssh://user@2001:db8::1/repo.git, which is now legacy. Over the years the parser was improved to support [] and port numbers, but the combination of ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git did never work. The only only way to use a user name, a literall IPV6 address and a port number was ssh://[user@2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git (Thanks to Christian Taube <lists@hcf.yourweb.de> for reporting this long standing issue) New users would use ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git, so change the parser to handle it correctly.

2015-02-17git_connect: let user override virtual-host we send to daemonLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+11
When we connect to a git-daemon at a given host and port, we actually send the string "localhost:9418" to the other side, which allows it to do virtual-hosting lookups. For testing and debugging, we'd like to be able to send arbitrary strings, rather than the hostname we actually connected to. Using "insteadOf" config does not work for this purpose, as the hostname determination happens at a very low level, right before we feed the hostname to our lookup routines. You could use /etc/hosts or similar to get around this, but we cannot do that portably from our test suite. Instead, this patch provides an environment variable that can be used to send an arbitrary string. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

It may be impractical to install a wrapper script for GIT_SSH when additional parameters need to be passed. Provide an alternative way of specifying a shell command to be run, including command line arguments, by means of the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable, which behaves like GIT_SSH but is passed to the shell. The special circuitry to modify parameters in the case of using PuTTY's plink/tortoiseplink is activated only when using GIT_SSH; in the case of using GIT_SSH_COMMAND, it is deliberately left up to the user to make any required parameters adaptation before calling the underlying ssh implementation.

Use xmemdupz() to allocate the memory, copy the data and make sure to NUL-terminate the result, all in one step. The resulting code is shorter, doesn't contain the constants 1 and '\0', and avoids duplicating function parameters. For blame, the last copied byte (o->file.ptr[o->file.size]) is always set to NUL by fake_working_tree_commit() or read_sha1_file(), so no information is lost by the conversion to using xmemdupz().

2014-06-20use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbersLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+6
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it with a magic number, like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3; This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic numbers here. Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter. For example: if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) { bar = arg + 6; continue; } could become: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar)) continue; However, I have left it as: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = v; continue; } to visually match nearby cases which need to actually process the string. Like: if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) { bar = atoi(v); continue; } Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-05-15git_connect: use argv_arrayLibravatar Jeff King1-18/+10
This avoids magic numbers when we allocate fixed-size argv arrays, and makes it more obvious that we are not overflowing. It is also the first step to fixing a memory leak. When git_connect returns a child_process struct, the argv array in the struct is dynamically allocated, but the individual strings are not (they are either owned elsewhere, or are freed). Later, in finish_connect, we free the array but leave the strings alone. This works for the child_process created by git_connect, but if we use transport_take_over, we may also end up with a child_process created by transport-helper's get_helper. In that case, the strings are freshly allocated, and we would want to free them. However, we have no idea in finish_connect which type we have. By consistently using run-command's internal argv-array, we do not have to worry about this issue at all; finish_command takes care of it for us, and we can drop our manual free entirely. Note that this actually makes the get_helper leak slightly worse; now we are leaking both the strings and the array. But when we adjust it in a future patch, that leak will go away entirely.

commit 6000334 (clone: allow cloning local paths with colons in them - 2013-05-04) made it possible to specify a path that has colons in it without file://, e.g. ../foo:bar/somewhere. But the check was a bit sloppy. Consider the url '[foo]:bar'. The '[]' unwrapping code will turn the string to 'foo\0:bar'. In effect this new string is the same as 'foo/:bar' in the check "path < strchrnul(host, '/')", which mistakes it for a local path (with '/' before the first ':') when it's actually not. So disable the check for '/' before ':' when the URL has been mangled by '[]' unwrapping.

This patch allows to clone from such paths by putting at least one slash before the colon (i.e. /path/to/foo:bar or just ./foo:bar). file://foo:bar should also work, but local optimizations are off in that case, which may be unwanted. While at there, warn the users about --local being ignored in this case.
