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>

2014-11-10git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMANDLibravatar Thomas Quinot1-3/+12
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.

One note about using file:// under Windows: The (absolute) path on Unix like system typically starts with "/". When the host is empty, it can be omitted, so that a shell scriptlet url=file://$pwd will give a URL like "file:///home/user/repo".

The documentation (in urls.txt) says that "ssh://host:/~repo", "host:/~repo" or "host:~repo" specify the repository "repo" in the home directory at "host". This has not been working for "host:/~repo". Before commit 356bec "Support [address] in URLs", the comparison "url != hostname" could be used to determine if the URL had a scheme or not: "ssh://host/host" != "host". However, after 356bec "[::1]" was converted into "::1", yielding url != hostname as well. To fix this regression, don't use "if (url != hostname)", but look at the separator instead.

2013-12-09git_connect: remove artificial limit of a remote commandLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-6/+1
Since day one, function git_connect() had a limit on the command line of the command that is invoked to make a connection. 7a33bcbe converted the code that constructs the command to strbuf. This would have been the right time to remove the limit, but it did not happen. Remove it now. git_connect() uses start_command() to invoke the command; consequently, the limits of the system still apply, but are diagnosed only at execve() time.

One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git clone" was that there was no way to tell the other end which branch "HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess.

2013-09-27clone: tighten "local paths with colons" check a bitLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
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.

2013-02-24pkt-line: share buffer/descriptor reading implementationLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
The packet_read function reads from a descriptor. The packet_get_line function is similar, but reads from an in-memory buffer, and uses a completely separate implementation. This patch teaches the generic packet_read function to accept either source, and we can do away with packet_get_line's implementation. There are two other differences to account for between the old and new functions. The first is that we used to read into a strbuf, but now read into a fixed size buffer. The only two callers are fine with that, and in fact it simplifies their code, since they can use the same static-buffer interface as the rest of the packet_read_line callers (and we provide a similar convenience wrapper for reading from a buffer rather than a descriptor). This is technically an externally-visible behavior change in that we used to accept arbitrary sized packets up to 65532 bytes, and now cap out at LARGE_PACKET_MAX, 65520. In practice this doesn't matter, as we use it only for parsing smart-http headers (of which there is exactly one defined, and it is small and fixed-size). And any extension headers would be breaking the protocol to go over LARGE_PACKET_MAX anyway. The other difference is that packet_get_line would return on error rather than dying. However, both callers of packet_get_line are actually improved by dying. The first caller does its own error checking, but we can drop that; as a result, we'll actually get more specific reporting about protocol breakage when packet_read dies internally. The only downside is that packet_read will not print the smart-http URL that failed, but that's not a big deal; anybody not debugging can already see the remote's URL already, and anybody debugging would want to run with GIT_CURL_VERBOSE anyway to see way more information. The second caller, which is just trying to skip past any extra smart-http headers (of which there are none defined, but which we allow to keep room for future expansion), did not error check at all. As a result, it would treat an error just like a flush packet. The resulting mess would generally cause an error later in get_remote_heads, but now we get error reporting much closer to the source of the problem.

2013-02-20pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static bufferLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
Most of the callers of packet_read_line just read into a static 1000-byte buffer (callers which handle arbitrary binary data already use LARGE_PACKET_MAX). This works fine in practice, because: 1. The only variable-sized data in these lines is a ref name, and refs tend to be a lot shorter than 1000 characters. 2. When sending ref lines, git-core always limits itself to 1000 byte packets. However, the only limit given in the protocol specification in Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt is LARGE_PACKET_MAX; the 1000 byte limit is mentioned only in pack-protocol.txt, and then only describing what we write, not as a specific limit for readers. This patch lets us bump the 1000-byte limit to LARGE_PACKET_MAX. Even though git-core will never write a packet where this makes a difference, there are two good reasons to do this: 1. Other git implementations may have followed protocol-common.txt and used a larger maximum size. We don't bump into it in practice because it would involve very long ref names. 2. We may want to increase the 1000-byte limit one day. Since packets are transferred before any capabilities, it's difficult to do this in a backwards-compatible way. But if we bump the size of buffer the readers can handle, eventually older versions of git will be obsolete enough that we can justify bumping the writers, as well. We don't have plans to do this anytime soon, but there is no reason not to start the clock ticking now. Just bumping all of the reading bufs to LARGE_PACKET_MAX would waste memory. Instead, since most readers just read into a temporary buffer anyway, let's provide a single static buffer that all callers can use. We can further wrap this detail away by having the packet_read_line wrapper just use the buffer transparently and return a pointer to the static storage. That covers most of the cases, and the remaining ones already read into their own LARGE_PACKET_MAX buffers. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2013-02-20pkt-line: teach packet_read_line to chomp newlinesLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+2
The packets sent during ref negotiation are all terminated by newline; even though the code to chomp these newlines is short, we end up doing it in a lot of places. This patch teaches packet_read_line to auto-chomp the trailing newline; this lets us get rid of a lot of inline chomping code. As a result, some call-sites which are not reading line-oriented data (e.g., when reading chunks of packfiles alongside sideband) transition away from packet_read_line to the generic packet_read interface. This patch converts all of the existing callsites. Since the function signature of packet_read_line does not change (but its behavior does), there is a possibility of new callsites being introduced in later commits, silently introducing an incompatibility. However, since a later patch in this series will change the signature, such a commit would have to be merged directly into this commit, not to the tip of the series; we can therefore ignore the issue. This is an internal cleanup and should produce no change of behavior in the normal case. However, there is one corner case to note. Callers of packet_read_line have never been able to tell the difference between a flush packet ("0000") and an empty packet ("0004"), as both cause packet_read_line to return a length of 0. Readers treat them identically, even though Documentation/technical/protocol-common.txt says we must not; it also says that implementations should not send an empty pkt-line. By stripping out the newline before the result gets to the caller, we will now treat the newline-only packet ("0005\n") the same as an empty packet, which in turn gets treated like a flush packet. In practice this doesn't matter, as neither empty nor newline-only packets are part of git's protocols (at least not for the line-oriented bits, and readers who are not expecting line-oriented packets will be calling packet_read directly, anyway). But even if we do decide to care about the distinction later, it is orthogonal to this patch. The right place to tighten would be to stop treating empty packets as flush packets, and this change does not make doing so any harder.

2013-02-20pkt-line: provide a generic reading function with optionsLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+2
Originally we had a single function for reading packetized data: packet_read_line. Commit 46284dd grew a more "gentle" form, packet_read, that returns an error instead of dying upon reading a truncated input stream. However, it is not clear from the names which should be called, or what the difference is. Let's instead make packet_read be a generic public interface that can take option flags, and update the single callsite that uses it. This is less code, more clear, and paves the way for introducing more options into the generic interface later. The function signature is changed, so there should be no hidden conflicts with topics in flight. While we're at it, we'll document how error conditions are handled based on the options, and rename the confusing "return_line_fail" option to "gentle_on_eof". While we are cleaning up the names, we can drop the "return_line_fail" checks in packet_read_internal entirely. They look like this: ret = safe_read(..., return_line_fail); if (return_line_fail && ret < 0) ... The check for return_line_fail is a no-op; safe_read will only ever return an error value if return_line_fail was true in the first place.

2012-08-13parse_feature_request: make it easier to see feature valuesLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+36
We already take care to parse key/value capabilities like "foo=bar", but the code does not provide a good way of actually finding out what is on the right-hand side of the "=". A server using "parse_feature_request" could accomplish this with some extra parsing. You must skip past the "key" portion manually, check for "=" versus NUL or space, and then find the length by searching for the next space (or NUL). But clients can't even do that, since the "server_supports" interface does not even return the pointer. Instead, let's have our parser share more information by providing a pointer to the value and its length. The "parse_feature_value" function returns a pointer to the feature's value portion, along with the length of the value. If the feature is missing, NULL is returned. If it does not have an "=", then a zero-length value is returned. Similarly, "server_feature_value" behaves in the same way, but always checks the static server_feature_list variable. We can then implement "server_supports" in terms of "server_feature_value". We cannot implement the original "parse_feature_request" in terms of our new function, because it returned a pointer to the beginning of the feature. However, no callers actually cared about the value of the returned pointer, so we can simplify it to a boolean just as we do for "server_supports".

When we get disconnected while expecting a response from the remote side because authentication failed, we issued an error message "The remote side hung up unexpectedly." Give hint that it may be a permission problem in the message when we can reasonably suspect it. * hv/remote-end-hung-up: remove the impression of unexpectedness when access is denied
2012-06-19remove the impression of unexpectedness when access is deniedLibravatar Heiko Voigt1-1/+17
If a server accessed through ssh is denying access git will currently issue the message "fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly" as the last line. This sounds as if something really ugly just happened. Since this is a quite typical situation in which users regularly get we do not say that if it happens at the beginning when reading the remote heads. If its in the very first beginning of reading the remote heads it is very likely an authentication error or a missing repository. If it happens later during reading the remote heads we still indicate that it happened during this initial contact phase.

2012-06-13git: Wrong parsing of ssh urls with IPv6 literals ignores portLibravatar René Scharfe1-1/+1
If we encounter an address part shaped like "[HOST]:PORT", we skip the opening bracket and replace the closing one with a NUL. The variable host then points to HOST and we've cut off the PORT part. Thus, when we go looking for it using host a bit later, we can't find it. Start at end instead, which either points to the colon, if present, or is equal to host.

2012-01-08server_supports(): parse feature list more carefullyLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-2/+21
We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward. Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces, but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).
