2012-05-24ident: reject bogus email addresses with IDENT_STRICTLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+6
If we come up with a hostname like "foo.(none)" because the user's machine is not fully qualified, we should reject this in strict mode (e.g., when we are making a commit object), just as we reject an empty gecos username.

2012-05-24ident: rename IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME to IDENT_STRICTLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+3
Callers who ask for ERROR_ON_NO_NAME are not so much concerned that the name will be blank (because, after all, we will fall back to using the username), but rather it is a check to make sure that low-quality identities do not end up in things like commit messages or emails (whereas it is OK for them to end up in things like reflogs). When future commits add more quality checks on the identity, each of these callers would want to use those checks, too. Rather than modify each of them later to add a new flag, let's refactor the flag. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-05-24ident: let callers omit name with fmt_indentLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+9
Most callers want to see all of "$name <$email> $date", but a few want only limited parts, omitting the date, or even the name. We already have IDENT_NO_DATE to handle the date part, but there's not a good option for getting just the email. Callers have to done one of: 1. Call ident_default_email; this does not respect environment variables, nor does it promise to trim whitespace or other crud from the result. 2. Call git_{committer,author}_info; this returns the name and email, leaving the caller to parse out the wanted bits. This patch adds IDENT_NO_NAME; it stops short of adding IDENT_NO_EMAIL, as no callers want it (nor are likely to), and it complicates the error handling of the function. When no name is requested, the angle brackets (<>) around the email address are also omitted. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-05-24ident: refactor NO_DATE flag in fmt_identLibravatar Jeff King1-6/+9
As a short-hand, we extract this flag into the local variable "name_addr_only". It's more accurate to simply negate this and refer to it as "want_date", which will be less confusing when we add more NO_* flags. While we're touching this part of the code, let's move the call to ident_default_date() only when we are actually going to use it, not when we have NO_DATE set, or when we get a date from the environment.

There's on point in printing the name, since it is by definition the empty string if we have reached this code path.

2012-05-22fix off-by-one error in split_ident_lineLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Commit 4b340cf split the logic to parse an ident line out of pretty.c's format_person_part. But in doing so, it accidentally introduced an off-by-one error that caused it to think that single-character names were invalid.

2012-05-22ident: trim whitespace from default name/emailLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+4
Usually these values get fed to fmt_ident, which will trim any cruft anyway, but there are a few code paths which use them directly. Let's clean them up for the benefit of those callers. Furthermore, fmt_ident will look at the pre-trimmed value and decide whether to invoke ERROR_ON_NO_NAME; this check can be fooled by a name consisting only of spaces. Note that we only bother to clean up when we are pulling the information from gecos or from system files. Any other value comes from a config file, where we will have cleaned up accidental whitespace already. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-05-22ident: use a dynamic strbuf in fmt_identLibravatar Jeff King1-28/+15
Now that we accept arbitrary-sized names and email addresses, the only remaining limit is in the actual formatting of the names into a buffer. The current limit is 1000 characters, which is not likely to be reached, but using a strbuf is one less error condition we have to worry about.

2012-05-22ident: use full dns names to generate email addressesLibravatar Jeff King1-9/+4
When we construct an email address from the username and hostname, we generate the host part of the email with this procedure: 1. add the result of gethostname 2. if it has a dot, ok, it's fully qualified 3. if not, then look up the unqualified hostname via gethostbyname; take the domain name of the result and append it to the hostname Step 3 can actually produce a bogus result, as the name returned by gethostbyname may not be related to the hostname we fed it (e.g., consider a machine "foo" with names "foo.one.example.com" and "bar.two.example.com"; we may have the latter returned and generate the bogus name "foo.two.example.com"). This patch simply uses the full hostname returned by gethostbyname. In the common case that the first part is the same as the unqualified hostname, the behavior is identical. And in the case that it is not the same, we are much more likely to be generating a valid name. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-05-22ident: report passwd errors with a more friendly messageLibravatar Jeff King1-15/+5
When getpwuid fails, we give a cute but cryptic message. While it makes sense if you know that getpwuid or identity functions are being called, this code is triggered behind the scenes by quite a few git commands these days (e.g., receive-pack on a remote server might use it for a reflog; the current message is hard to distinguish from an authentication error). Let's switch to something that gives a little more context. While we're at it, we can factor out all of the cut-and-pastes of the "you don't exist" message into a wrapper function. Rather than provide xgetpwuid, let's make it even more specific to just getting the passwd entry for the current uid. That's the only way we use getpwuid anyway, and it lets us make an even more specific error message. The current message also fails to mention errno. While the usual cause for getpwuid failing is that the user does not exist, mentioning errno makes it easier to diagnose these problems. Note that POSIX specifies that errno remain untouched if the passwd entry does not exist (but will be set on actual errors), whereas some systems will return ENOENT or similar for a missing entry. We handle both cases in our wrapper. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-05-22drop length limitations on gecos-derived names and emailsLibravatar Jeff King1-65/+39
When we pull the user's name from the GECOS field of the passwd file (or generate an email address based on their username and hostname), we put the result into a static buffer. While it's extremely unlikely that anybody ever hit these limits (after all, in such a case their parents must have hated them), we still had to deal with the error cases in our code. Converting these static buffers to strbufs lets us simplify the code and drop some error messages from the documentation that have confused some users. The conversion is mostly mechanical: replace string copies with strbuf equivalents, and access the strbuf.buf directly. There are a few exceptions: - copy_gecos and copy_email are the big winners in code reduction (since they no longer have to manage the string length manually) - git_ident_config wants to replace old versions of the default name (e.g., if we read the config multiple times), so it must reset+add to the strbuf instead of just adding Note that there is still one length limitation: the gethostname interface requires us to provide a static buffer, so we arbitrarily choose 1024 bytes for the hostname.

2012-05-22ident: don't write fallback username into git_default_nameLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+1
The fmt_ident function gets a flag that tells us whether to die if the name field is blank. If it is blank and we don't die, then we fall back to the username from the passwd file. The current code writes the value into git_default_name. However, that's not necessarily correct, as the empty value might have come from git_default_name, or it might have been passed in. This leads to two potential problems: 1. If we are overriding an empty name in the passed-in value, then we may be overwriting a perfectly good name (from gitconfig or gecos) in the git_default_name buffer. Later calls to fmt_ident will end up using the fallback name, even though a better name was available. 2. If we override an empty gecos name, we end up with the fallback name in git_default_name. A later call that uses IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME will see the fallback name and think that it is a good name, instead of producing an error. In other words, a blank gecos name would cause an error with this code: git_committer_info(IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME); but not this: git_committer_info(0); git_committer_info(IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME); because in the latter case, the first call has polluted the name buffer. Instead, let's make the fallback a per-invocation variable. We can just use the pw->pw_name string directly, since it only needs to persist through the rest of the function (and we don't do any other getpwent calls). Note that while this solves (1) for future invocations of fmt_indent, the current invocation might use the fallback when it could in theory load a better value from git_default_name. However, by not passing IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME, the caller is indicating that it does not care too much about the name, anyway, so we don't bother; this is primarily about protecting future callers who do care.

2012-05-22ident: trim trailing newline from /etc/mailnameLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+4
We use fgets to read the /etc/mailname file, which means we will typically end up with an extra newline in our git_default_email. Most of the time this doesn't matter, as fmt_ident will skip it as cruft, but there is one code path that accesses it directly (in http-push.c:lock_remote).

2012-05-22ident: split setup_ident into separate functionsLibravatar Jeff King1-16/+19
This function sets up the default name, email, and date, and is not publicly available. Let's split it into three public functions so that callers can get just the parts they need. While we're at it, let's change the interface to simple accessors. The original function was called only by fmt_ident, and contained logic for "if we already have some other value, don't load the default" which properly belongs in fmt_ident.

2011-10-06ident: do not retrieve default ident when unnecessaryLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-8/+8
Avoid a getpwuid() call (which contacts the network if the password database is not local), read of /etc/mailname, gethostname() call, and reverse DNS lookup if the user has already chosen a name and email through configuration, the environment, or the command line. This should slightly speed up commands like "git commit". More importantly, it improves error reporting when computation of the default ident string does not go smoothly. For example, after detecting a problem (e.g., "warning: cannot open /etc/mailname: Permission denied") in retrieving the default committer identity: touch /etc/mailname; # as root chmod -r /etc/mailname; # as root git commit -m 'test commit' you can squelch the warning while waiting for your sysadmin to fix the permissions problem. echo '[user] email = me@example.com' >>~/.gitconfig Inspired-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdgb.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-10-03ident: check /etc/mailname if email is unknownLibravatar Jonathan Nieder1-14/+54
Before falling back to gethostname(), check /etc/mailname if GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL is not set in the environment or through config files. Only fall back if /etc/mailname cannot be opened or read. The /etc/mailname convention comes from Debian policy section 11.6 ("mail transport, delivery and user agents"), though maybe it could be useful sometimes on other machines, too. The lack of this support was noticed by various people in different ways: - Ian observed that git was choosing the address 'ian@anarres.relativity.greenend.org.uk' rather than 'ian@davenant.greenend.org.uk' as it should have done. - Jonathan noticed that operations like "git commit" were needlessly slow when using a resolver that was slow to handle reverse DNS lookups. Alas, after this patch, if /etc/mailname is set up and the [user] name and email configuration aren't, the committer email will not provide a charming reminder of which machine commits were made on any more. But I think it's worth it. Mechanics: the functionality of reading mailname goes in its own function, so people who care about other distros can easily add an implementation to a similar location without making copy_email() too long and losing clarity. While at it, we split out the fallback default logic that does gethostname(), too (rearranging it a little and adding a check for errors from gethostname while at it).

2010-12-20ident: die on bogus date formatLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+4
If the user gives "git commit --date=foobar", we silently ignore the --date flag. We should note the error. This patch puts the fix at the lowest level of fmt_ident, which means it also handles GIT_AUTHOR_DATE=foobar, as well. There are two down-sides to this approach: 1. Technically this breaks somebody doing something like "git commit --date=now", which happened to work because bogus data is the same as "now". Though we do explicitly handle the empty string, so anybody passing an empty variable through the environment will still work. If the error is too much, perhaps it can be downgraded to a warning? 2. The error checking happens _after_ the commit message is written, which can be annoying to the user. We can put explicit checks closer to the beginning of git-commit, but that feels a little hack-ish; suddenly git-commit has to care about how fmt_ident works. Maybe we could simply call fmt_ident earlier? Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2008-12-02Add backslash to list of 'crud' characters in real nameLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+1
We remove crud characters at the beginning and end of real-names so that when we see email addresses like From: "David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> we drop the quotes around the name when we parse that and split it up into name and email. However, the list of crud characters was basically just a random list of common things that are found around names, and it didn't contain the backslash character that some insane scripts seem to use when quoting things. So now the kernel has a number of authors listed like Author: \"Rafael J. Wysocki\ <rjw@sisk.pl> because the author name had started out as From: \"Rafael J. Wysocki\" <rjw@sisk.pl> and the only "crud" character we noticed and removed was the final double-quote at the end.

2007-12-09Re-fix "builtin-commit: fix --signoff"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-18/+12
An earlier fix to the said commit was incomplete; it mixed up the meaning of the flag parameter passed to the internal fmt_ident() function, so this corrects it. git_author_info() and git_committer_info() can be told to issue a warning when no usable user information is found, and optionally can be told to error out. Operations that actually use the information to record a new commit or a tag will still error out, but the caller to leave reflog record will just silently use bogus user information. Not warning on misconfigured user information while writing a reflog entry is somewhat debatable, but it is probably nicer to the users to silently let it pass, because the only information you are losing is who checked out the branch. * git_author_info() and git_committer_info() used to take 1 (positive int) to error out with a warning on misconfiguration; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME. * These functions used to take -1 (negative int) to warn but continue; this is now signalled with a symbolic constant IDENT_WARN_ON_NO_NAME. * fmt_ident() function implements the above error reporting behaviour common to git_author_info() and git_committer_info(). A symbolic constant IDENT_NO_DATE can be or'ed in to the flag parameter to make it return only the "Name <email@address.xz>". * fmt_name() is a thin wrapper around fmt_ident() that always passes IDENT_ERROR_ON_NO_NAME and IDENT_NO_DATE.

Instead, fmt_ident() was taught to interpret an empty string for the date (as opposed to NULL, which still triggers the default behavior) as "do not bother with the timestamp", and builtin-commit.c uses it.

2007-08-13Improved hint on how to set identityLibravatar Steffen Prohaska1-4/+4
The first thing we teach in the tutorial is to set the default identity in $HOME/.gitconfig using "git config --global". The suggestion in the error message should match the order, while hinting that per repository identity can later be configured differently.

2007-07-05Prefer EMAIL to username@hostname.Libravatar Matt Kraai1-7/+12
The environment variable $EMAIL gives a better default of user's preferred e-mail address than the hardcoded "username@hostname", as it is understood by many existing programs. We still honor GIT_*_EMAIL environment variables and user.email configuration variable give them higher precedence, so that the user can override $EMAIL or "username@hostname", as they are likely to be more specific to the context of working on a particular project.

2007-06-06$EMAIL is a last resort fallback, as it's system-wide.Libravatar Pierre Habouzit1-2/+2
$EMAIL is a system-wide setup that is used for many many many applications. If the git user chose a specific user.email setup, then _this_ should be honoured rather than $EMAIL. Signed-off-by: Pierre Habouzit <madcoder@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-04-29Fall back to $EMAIL for missing GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL and GIT_COMMITTER_EMAILLibravatar Josh Triplett1-0/+2
Some other programs get the user's email address from $EMAIL, so fall back to that if we don't have a Git-specific email address. Signed-off-by: Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
