2019-06-28strbuf: give URL-encoding API a char predicate fnLibravatar Matthew DeVore1-4/+5
Allow callers to specify exactly what characters need to be URL-encoded and which do not. This new API will be taken advantage of in a patch later in this set. Helped-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Matthew DeVore <matvore@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2017-04-14path.c: and an option to call real_path() in expand_user_path()Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-1/+1
In the next patch we need the ability to expand '~' to real_path($HOME). But we can't do that from outside because '~' is part of a pattern, not a true path. Add an option to expand_user_path() to do so. Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2016-07-01add an extra level of indirection to main()Libravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
There are certain startup tasks that we expect every git process to do. In some cases this is just to improve the quality of the program (e.g., setting up gettext()). In others it is a requirement for using certain functions in libgit.a (e.g., system_path() expects that you have called git_extract_argv0_path()). Most commands are builtins and are covered by the git.c version of main(). However, there are still a few external commands that use their own main(). Each of these has to remember to include the correct startup sequence, and we are not always consistent. Rather than just fix the inconsistencies, let's make this harder to get wrong by providing a common main() that can run this standard startup. We basically have two options to do this: - the compat/mingw.h file already does something like this by adding a #define that replaces the definition of main with a wrapper that calls mingw_startup(). The upside is that the code in each program doesn't need to be changed at all; it's rewritten on the fly by the preprocessor. The downside is that it may make debugging of the startup sequence a bit more confusing, as the preprocessor is quietly inserting new code. - the builtin functions are all of the form cmd_foo(), and git.c's main() calls them. This is much more explicit, which may make things more obvious to somebody reading the code. It's also more flexible (because of course we have to figure out _which_ cmd_foo() to call). The downside is that each of the builtins must define cmd_foo(), instead of just main(). This patch chooses the latter option, preferring the more explicit approach, even though it is more invasive. We introduce a new file common-main.c, with the "real" main. It expects to call cmd_main() from whatever other objects it is linked against. We link common-main.o against anything that links against libgit.a, since we know that such programs will need to do this setup. Note that common-main.o can't actually go inside libgit.a, as the linker would not pick up its main() function automatically (it has no callers). The rest of the patch is just adjusting all of the various external programs (mostly in t/helper) to use cmd_main(). I've provided a global declaration for cmd_main(), which means that all of the programs also need to match its signature. In particular, many functions need to switch to "const char **" instead of "char **" for argv. This effect ripples out to a few other variables and functions, as well. This makes the patch even more invasive, but the end result is much better. We should be treating argv strings as const anyway, and now all programs conform to the same signature (which also matches the way builtins are defined).

2016-01-15strbuf: introduce strbuf_getline_{lf,nul}()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged. By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter. This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(), namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of them. The changes contained in this patch are: * introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch] * mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the respective thin wrapper. After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take over the shorter name strbuf_getline(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2015-12-01Make error message after failing commit_lock_file() less confusingLibravatar SZEDER Gábor1-1/+2
The error message after a failing commit_lock_file() call sometimes looks like this, causing confusion: $ git remote add remote git@server.com/repo.git error: could not commit config file .git/config # Huh?! # I didn't want to commit anything, especially not my config file! While in the narrow context of the lockfile module using the verb 'commit' in the error message makes perfect sense, in the broader context of git the word 'commit' already has a very specific meaning, hence the confusion. Reword these error messages to say "could not write" instead of "could not commit". While at it, include strerror in the error messages after writing the config file or the credential store fails to provide some information about the cause of the failure, and update the style of the error message after writing the reflog fails to match surrounding error messages (i.e. no '' around the pathname and no () around the error description).

2015-03-24git-credential-store: support XDG_CONFIG_HOMELibravatar Paul Tan1-4/+9
Add $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials to the default credential search path of git-credential-store. This allows git-credential-store to support user-specific configuration files in accordance with the XDG base directory specification[1]. [1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html ~/.git-credentials has a higher precedence than $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/credentials when looking up credentials. This means that if any duplicate matching credentials are found in the xdg file (due to ~/.git-credentials being updated by old versions of git or outdated tools), they will not be used at all. This is to give the user some leeway in switching to old versions of git while keeping the xdg directory. This is consistent with the behavior of git-config. However, the higher precedence of ~/.git-credentials means that as long as ~/.git-credentials exist, all credentials will be written to the ~/.git-credentials file even if the user has an xdg file as having a ~/.git-credentials file indicates that the user wants to preserve backwards-compatibility. This is also consistent with the behavior of git-config. To make this precedence explicit in docs/git-credential-store, add a new section FILES that lists out the credential file paths in their order of precedence, and explain how the ordering affects the lookup, storage and erase operations. Also, update the documentation for --file to briefly explain the operations on multiple files if the --file option is not provided. Since the xdg file will not be used unless it actually exists, to prevent the situation where some credentials are present in the xdg file while some are present in the home file, users are recommended to not create the xdg file if they require compatibility with old versions of git or outdated tools. Note, though, that "erase" can be used to explicitly erase matching credentials from all files.

2015-03-24git-credential-store: support multiple credential filesLibravatar Paul Tan1-25/+56
Previously, git-credential-store only supported storing credentials in a single file: ~/.git-credentials. In order to support the XDG base directory specification[1], git-credential-store needs to be able to lookup and erase credentials from multiple files, as well as to pick the appropriate file to write to so that the credentials can be found on subsequent lookups. [1] http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html Note that some credential storage files may not be owned, readable or writable by the user, as they may be system-wide files that are meant to apply to every user. Instead of a single file path, lookup_credential(), remove_credential() and store_credential() now take a precedence-ordered string_list of file paths. lookup_credential() expects both user-specific and system-wide credential files to be provided to support the use case of system administrators setting default credentials for users. remove_credential() and store_credential() expect only the user-specific credential files to be provided as usually the only config files that users are allowed to edit are their own user-specific ones. lookup_credential() will read these (user-specific and system-wide) file paths in order until it finds the 1st matching credential and print it. As some files may be private and thus unreadable, any file which cannot be read will be ignored silently. remove_credential() will erase credentials from all (user-specific) files in the list. This is because if credentials are only erased from the file with the highest precedence, a matching credential may still be found in a file further down the list. (Note that due to the lockfile code, this requires the directory to be writable, which should be so for user-specific config files) store_credential() will write the credentials to the first existing (user-specific) file in the list. If none of the files in the list exist, store_credential() will write to the filename specified by the first item of the filename list. For backwards compatibility, this filename should be "~/.git-credentials".

2013-04-28sparse: Fix mingw_main() argument number/type errorsLibravatar Ramsay Jones1-2/+2
Sparse issues 68 errors (two errors for each main() function) such as the following: SP git.c git.c:510:5: error: too many arguments for function mingw_main git.c:510:5: error: symbol 'mingw_main' redeclared with different type \ (originally declared at git.c:510) - different argument counts The errors are caused by the 'main' macro used by the MinGW build to provide a replacement main() function. The original main function is effectively renamed to 'mingw_main' and is called from the new main function. The replacement main is used to execute certain actions common to all git programs on MinGW (e.g. ensure the standard I/O streams are in binary mode). In order to suppress the errors, we change the macro to include the parameters in the declaration of the mingw_main function. Unfortunately, this change provokes both sparse and gcc to complain about 9 calls to mingw_main(), such as the following: CC git.o git.c: In function 'main': git.c:510: warning: passing argument 2 of 'mingw_main' from \ incompatible pointer type git.c:510: note: expected 'const char **' but argument is of \ type 'char **' In order to suppress these warnings, since both of the main functions need to be declared with the same prototype, we change the declaration of the 9 main functions, thus: int main(int argc, char **argv) Signed-off-by: Ramsay Jones <ramsay@ramsay1.demon.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-12-12credentials: add "store" helperLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+157
This is like "cache", except that we actually put the credentials on disk. This can be terribly insecure, of course, but we do what we can to protect them by filesystem permissions, and we warn the user in the documentation. This is not unlike using .netrc to store entries, but it's a little more user-friendly. Instead of putting credentials in place ahead of time, we transparently store them after prompting the user for them once.
