"git submodule update" attempts two different kinds of "git fetch" against the upstream repository to grab a commit bound at the submodule's path, but it incorrectly gave up if the first kind (i.e. a normal fetch) failed, making the second "last resort" one (i.e. fetching an exact commit object by object name) ineffective.

2018-05-21submodule-config: verify submodule names as pathsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the name (among other things). Let's sanity-check these names to avoid building a path that can be exploited. There are two main decisions: 1. What should the allowed syntax be? It's tempting to reuse verify_path(), since submodule names typically come from in-repo paths. But there are two reasons not to: a. It's technically more strict than what we need, as we really care only about breaking out of the $GIT_DIR/modules/ hierarchy. E.g., having a submodule named "foo/.git" isn't actually dangerous, and it's possible that somebody has manually given such a funny name. b. Since we'll eventually use this checking logic in fsck to prevent downstream repositories, it should be consistent across platforms. Because verify_path() relies on is_dir_sep(), it wouldn't block "foo\..\bar" on a non-Windows machine. 2. Where should we enforce it? These days most of the .gitmodules reads go through submodule-config.c, so I've put it there in the reading step. That should cover all of the C code. We also construct the name for "git submodule add" inside the git-submodule.sh script. This is probably not a big deal for security since the name is coming from the user anyway, but it would be polite to remind them if the name they pick is invalid (and we need to expose the name-checker to the shell anyway for our test scripts). This patch issues a warning when reading .gitmodules and just ignores the related config entry completely. This will generally end up producing a sensible error, as it works the same as a .gitmodules file which is missing a submodule entry (so "submodule update" will barf, but "git clone --recurse-submodules" will print an error but not abort the clone. There is one minor oddity, which is that we print the warning once per malformed config key (since that's how the config subsystem gives us the entries). So in the new test, for example, the user would see three warnings. That's OK, since the intent is that this case should never come up outside of malicious repositories (and then it might even benefit the user to see the message multiple times). Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

2018-05-16git-submodule.sh: try harder to fetch a submoduleLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+1
This is the logical continuum of fb43e31f2b4 (submodule: try harder to fetch needed sha1 by direct fetching sha1, 2016-02-23) and fixes it as some assumptions were not correct. The commit states: > If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch ... fail ourselves here > assumes that the fetch_in_submodule only fails when the serverside does > not support fetching by sha1. There are other failures, why such a fetch may fail, such as fatal: Couldn't find remote ref HEAD which can happen if the remote side doesn't advertise HEAD and we do not have a local fetch refspec. Not advertising HEAD is allowed by the protocol spec and would happen, if HEAD points at an unborn branch for example. Not having a local fetch refspec can happen when submodules are fetched shallowly, as then git-clone doesn't setup a fetch refspec. So do try even harder for a submodule by ignoring the exit code of the first fetch and rather relying on the following is_tip_reachable to see if we try fetching again.

2018-05-09submodule foreach: correct '$path' in nested submodules from a subdirectoryLibravatar Prathamesh Chavan1-1/+0
When running 'git submodule foreach --recursive' from a subdirectory of your repository, nested submodules get a bogus value for $path: For a submodule 'sub' that contains a nested submodule 'nested', running 'git -C dir submodule foreach echo $path' from the root of the superproject would report path='../nested' for the nested submodule. The first part '../' is derived from the logic computing the relative path from $pwd to the root of the superproject. The second part is the submodule path inside the submodule. This value is of little use and is hard to document. Also, in git-submodule.txt, $path is documented to be the "name of the submodule directory relative to the superproject", but "the superproject" is ambiguous. To resolve both these issues, we could: (a) Change "the superproject" to "its immediate superproject", so $path would be "nested" instead of "../nested". (b) Change "the superproject" to "the superproject the original command was run from", so $path would be "sub/nested" instead of "../nested". (c) Change "the superproject" to "the directory the original command was run from", so $path would be "../sub/nested" instead of "../nested". The behavior for (c) was attempted to be introduced in 091a6eb0fe (submodule: drop the top-level requirement, 2013-06-16) with the intent for $path to be relative from $pwd to the submodule worktree, but that did not work for nested submodules, as the intermittent submodules were not included in the path. If we were to fix the meaning of the $path using (a), we would break any existing submodule user that runs foreach from non-root of the superproject as the non-nested submodule '../sub' would change its path to 'sub'. If we were to fix the meaning of $path using (b), then we would break any user that uses nested submodules (even from the root directory) as the 'nested' would become 'sub/nested'. If we were to fix the meaning of $path using (c), then we would break the same users as in (b) as 'nested' would become 'sub/nested' from the root directory of the superproject. All groups can be found in the wild. The author has no data if one group outweighs the other by large margin, and offending each one seems equally bad at first. However in the authors imagination it is better to go with (a) as running from a sub directory sounds like it is carried out by a human rather than by some automation task. With a human on the keyboard the feedback loop is short and the changed behavior can be adapted to quickly unlike some automation that can break silently.

2017-10-07submodule: port submodule subcommand 'status' from shell to CLibravatar Prathamesh Chavan1-60/+1
This aims to make git-submodule 'status' a built-in. Hence, the function cmd_status() is ported from shell to C. This is done by introducing four functions: module_status(), submodule_status_cb(), submodule_status() and print_status(). The function module_status() acts as the front-end of the subcommand. It parses subcommand's options and then calls the function module_list_compute() for computing the list of submodules. Then this functions calls for_each_listed_submodule() looping through the list obtained. Then for_each_listed_submodule() calls submodule_status_cb() for each of the submodule in its list. The function submodule_status_cb() calls submodule_status() after passing appropriate arguments to the funciton. Function submodule_status() is responsible for generating the status each submodule it is called for, and then calls print_status(). Finally, the function print_status() handles the printing of submodule's status. Function set_name_rev() is also ported from git-submodule to the submodule--helper builtin function compute_rev_name(), which now generates the value of the revision name as required.

2017-06-15add: warn when adding an embedded repositoryLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+3
It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another repository, like: git clone $url git add . The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching .gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely. In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually adding the submodule config. In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in their .gitignore file. Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few things to note: - the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is welcome to create whatever funny states they want. - we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink; updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable, and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules entirely - there's a command-line option to suppress the warning. This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the entry before adding any submodule config), but also provides a mechanism for other scripts doing submodule-like things. We could make this a hard error instead of a warning. However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with a gentle hint is probably the best option. There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is generally about context, not about the user's preferences. If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the warning.

2016-12-15transport: add protocol policy config optionLibravatar Brandon Williams1-8/+4
Previously the `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL` environment variable was used to specify a whitelist of protocols to be used in clone/fetch/push commands. This patch introduces new configuration options for more fine-grained control for allowing/disallowing protocols. This also has the added benefit of allowing easier construction of a protocol whitelist on systems where setting an environment variable is non-trivial. Now users can specify a policy to be used for each type of protocol via the 'protocol.<name>.allow' config option. A default policy for all unconfigured protocols can be set with the 'protocol.allow' config option. If no user configured default is made git will allow known-safe protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file), disallow known-dangerous protocols (ext), and have a default policy of `user` for all other protocols. The supported policies are `always`, `never`, and `user`. The `user` policy can be used to configure a protocol to be usable when explicitly used by a user, while disallowing it for commands which run clone/fetch/push commands without direct user intervention (e.g. recursive initialization of submodules). Commands which can potentially clone/fetch/push from untrusted repositories without user intervention can export `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` with a value of '0' to prevent protocols configured to the `user` policy from being used. Fix remote-ext tests to use the new config to allow the ext protocol to be tested.

2016-09-22clone: pass --progress decision to recursive submodulesLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+5
When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did, too. In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty, and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then both processes would come to the same decision by default. If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down "--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this to the child. That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones are always connected to a pipe, and we never output progress at all. This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning. The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for them. This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive clones. And as a bonus, it makes: git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

"git clone --resurse-submodules --reference $path $URL" is a way to reduce network transfer cost by borrowing objects in an existing $path repository when cloning the superproject from $URL; it learned to also peek into $path for presense of corresponding repositories of submodules and borrow objects from there when able. * sb/submodule-clone-rr: clone: recursive and reference option triggers submodule alternates clone: implement optional references clone: clarify option_reference as required clone: factor out checking for an alternate path submodule--helper update-clone: allow multiple references submodule--helper module-clone: allow multiple references t7408: merge short tests, factor out testing method t7408: modernize style
2016-08-12submodule--helper update-clone: allow multiple referencesLibravatar Stefan Beller1-1/+1
Allow the user to pass in multiple references to update_clone. Currently this is only internal API, but once the shell script is replaced by a C version, this is needed. This fixes an API bug between the shell script and the helper. Currently the helper accepts "--reference" "--reference=foo" as a OPT_STRING whose value happens to be "--reference=foo", and then uses if (suc->reference) argv_array_push(&child->args, suc->reference) where suc->reference _is_ "--reference=foo" when invoking the underlying "git clone", it cancels out. With this change we omit one of the "--reference" arguments when passing references from the shell script to the helper.

When depth is given the user may have a reasonable expectation that any remote operation is using the given depth. Add a test to demonstrate we still get the desired sha1 even if the depth is too short to include the actual commit.
