2010-01-22ignore duplicated slashes in make_relative_path()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+30
The function takes two paths, an early part of abs is supposed to match base; otherwise abs is not a path under base and the function returns the full path of abs. The caller can easily confuse the implementation by giving duplicated and needless slashes in these path arguments. Credit for test script, motivation and initial patch goes to Thomas Rast. A follow-up fix (squashed) is by Hannes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-11-19expand_user_path: expand ~ to $HOME, not to the actual homedir.Libravatar Matthieu Moy1-4/+9
In 395de250d (Expand ~ and ~user in core.excludesfile, commit.template), we introduced the mechanism. But expanding ~ using getpw is not what people overriding $HOME would usually expect. In particular, git looks for the user's .gitconfig using $HOME, so it's better to be consistent. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@imag.fr> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2009-11-09http-backend: Protect GIT_PROJECT_ROOT from /../ requestsLibravatar Shawn O. Pearce1-0/+47
Eons ago HPA taught git-daemon how to protect itself from /../ attacks, which Junio brought back into service in d79374c7b58d ("daemon.c and path.enter_repo(): revamp path validation"). I did not carry this into git-http-backend as originally we relied only upon PATH_TRANSLATED, and assumed the HTTP server had done its access control checks to validate the resolved path was within a directory permitting access from the remote client. This would usually be sufficient to protect a server from requests for its /etc/passwd file by http://host/smart/../etc/passwd sorts of URLs. However in 917adc036086 Mark Lodato added GIT_PROJECT_ROOT as an additional method of configuring the CGI. When this environment variable is used the web server does not generate the final access path and therefore may blindly pass through "/../etc/passwd" in PATH_INFO under the assumption that "/../" might have special meaning to the invoked CGI. Instead of permitting these sorts of malformed path requests, we now reject them back at the client, with an error message for the server log. This matches git-daemon behavior.

2009-05-31diff: generate pretty filenames in prep_temp_blob()Libravatar David Aguilar1-0/+16
Naturally, prep_temp_blob() did not care about filenames. As a result, GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF and textconv generated filenames such as ".diff_XXXXXX". This modifies prep_temp_blob() to generate user-friendly filenames when creating temporary files. Diffing "name.ext" now generates "XXXXXX_name.ext".

2009-03-28set_shared_perm(): sometimes we know what the final mode bits should look likeLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-9/+16
adjust_shared_perm() first obtains the mode bits from lstat(2), expecting to find what the result of applying user's umask is, and then tweaks it as necessary. When the file to be adjusted is created with mkstemp(3), however, the mode thusly obtained does not have anything to do with user's umask, and we would need to start from 0444 in such a case and there is no point running lstat(2) for such a path. This introduces a new API set_shared_perm() to bypass the lstat(2) and instead force setting the mode bits to the desired value directly. adjust_shared_perm() becomes a thin wrapper to the function.

2009-03-27"core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not loosenLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-15/+21
This fixes the behaviour of octal notation to how it is defined in the documentation, while keeping the traditional "loosen only" semantics intact for "group" and "everybody". Three main points of this patch are: - For an explicit octal notation, the internal shared_repository variable is set to a negative value, so that we can tell "group" (which is to "OR" in 0660) and 0660 (which is to "SET" to 0660); - git-init did not set shared_repository variable early enough to affect the initial creation of many files, notably copied templates and the configuration. We set it very early when a command-line option specifies a custom value. - Many codepaths create files inside $GIT_DIR by various ways that all involve mkstemp(), and then call move_temp_to_file() to rename it to its final destination. We can add adjust_shared_perm() call here; for the traditional "loosen-only", this would be a no-op for many codepaths because the mode is already loose enough, but with the new behaviour it makes a difference.

2009-02-19Introduce the function strip_path_suffix()Libravatar Johannes Schindelin1-0/+36
The function strip_path_suffix() will try to strip a given suffix from a given path. The suffix must start at a directory boundary (i.e. "core" is not a path suffix of "libexec/git-core", but "git-core" is). Arbitrary runs of directory separators ("slashes") are assumed identical. Example: strip_path_suffix("C:\\msysgit/\\libexec\\git-core", "libexec///git-core", &prefix) will set prefix to "C:\\msysgit" and return 0.

2009-02-07Test and fix normalize_path_copy()Libravatar Johannes Sixt1-11/+5
This changes the test-path-utils utility to invoke normalize_path_copy() instead of normalize_absolute_path() because the latter is about to be removed. The test cases in t0060 are adjusted in two regards: - normalize_path_copy() more often leaves a trailing slash in the result. This has no negative side effects because the new user of this function, longest_ancester_length(), already accounts for this behavior. - The function can fail. The tests uncover a flaw in normalize_path_copy(): If there are sufficiently many '..' path components so that the root is reached, such as in "/d1/s1/../../d2", then the leading slash was lost. This manifested itself that (assuming there is a repository at /tmp/foo) $ git add /d1/../tmp/foo/some-file reported 'pathspec is outside repository'. This is now fixed. Moreover, the test case descriptions of t0060 now include the test data and expected outcome. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-02-07Fix GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES on WindowsLibravatar René Scharfe1-5/+6
Using git with GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES crashed on Windows due to a failed assertion in normalize_absolute_path(): This function expects absolute paths to start with a slash, while on Windows they can start with a drive letter or a backslash. This fixes it by using the alternative, normalize_path_copy() instead, which can handle Windows-style paths just fine. Secondly, the portability macro PATH_SEP is used instead of expecting colons to be used as path list delimiter. The test script t1504 is also changed to help MSYS's bash recognize some program arguments as path list. (MSYS's bash must translate POSIX-style path lists to Windows-style path lists, and the heuristic did not catch some cases.)

2009-01-29validate_headref: tighten ref-matching to just branchesLibravatar Jeff King1-2/+2
When we are trying to determine whether a directory contains a git repository, one of the tests we do is to check whether HEAD is either a symlink or a symref into the "refs/" hierarchy, or a detached HEAD. We can tighten this a little more, though: a non-detached HEAD should always point to a branch (since checking out anything else should result in detachment), so it is safe to check for "refs/heads/".

2008-07-25Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the pathLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-36/+0
This function had used make_absolute_path(); but this function dies if the directory that contains the entry whose relative path was supplied in the argument does not exist. This is a problem if the argument is, for example, "../libexec/git-core", and that "../libexec" does not exist. Since the resolution of symbolic links is not required for elements in PATH, we can fall back to using make_nonrelative_path(), which simply prepends $PWD to the path. We have to move make_nonrelative_path() alongside make_absolute_path() in abspath.c so that git-shell can be linked. See 5b8e6f85f.

2008-07-11Fix backwards-incompatible handling of core.sharedRepositoryLibravatar Petr Baudis1-1/+1
06cbe85 (Make core.sharedRepository more generic, 2008-04-16) broke the traditional setting of core.sharedRepository to true, which was to make the repository group writable: with umask 022, it would clear the permission bits for 'other'. (umask 002 did not exhibit this behaviour since pre-chmod() check in adjust_shared_perm() fails in that case.) The call to adjust_shared_perm() should only loosen the permission. If the user has umask like 022 or 002 that allow others to read, the resulting files should be made readable and writable by group, without restricting the readability by others. This patch fixes the adjust_shared_perm() mode tweak based on Junio's suggestion and adds the appropriate tests to t/t1301-shared-repo.sh.

A lot of modules that have nothing to do with git-shell functionality were linked in, bloating git-shell more than 8 times.

2008-06-19Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in setup_work_tree()Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+17
Once we find the absolute paths for git_dir and work_tree, we can make git_dir a relative path since we know pwd will be work_tree. This should save the kernel some time traversing the path to work_tree all the time if git_dir is inside work_tree. Daniel's patch didn't apply for me as-is, so I recreated it with some differences, and here are the numbers from ten runs each. There is some IO for me - probably due to more-or-less random flushing of the journal - so the variation is bigger than I'd like, but whatever: Before: real 0m8.135s real 0m7.933s real 0m8.080s real 0m7.954s real 0m7.949s real 0m8.112s real 0m7.934s real 0m8.059s real 0m7.979s real 0m8.038s After: real 0m7.685s real 0m7.968s real 0m7.703s real 0m7.850s real 0m7.995s real 0m7.817s real 0m7.963s real 0m7.955s real 0m7.848s real 0m7.969s Now, going by "best of ten" (on the assumption that the longer numbers are all due to IO), I'm saying a 7.933s -> 7.685s reduction, and it does seem to be outside of the noise (ie the "after" case never broke 8s, while the "before" case did so half the time). So looks like about 3% to me. Doing it for a slightly smaller test-case (just the "arch" subdirectory) gets more stable numbers probably due to not filling the journal with metadata updates, so we have: Before: real 0m1.633s real 0m1.633s real 0m1.633s real 0m1.632s real 0m1.632s real 0m1.630s real 0m1.634s real 0m1.631s real 0m1.632s real 0m1.632s After: real 0m1.610s real 0m1.609s real 0m1.610s real 0m1.608s real 0m1.607s real 0m1.610s real 0m1.609s real 0m1.611s real 0m1.608s real 0m1.611s where I'ld just take the averages and say 1.632 vs 1.610, which is just over 1% peformance improvement. So it's not in the noise, but it's not as big as I initially thought and measured. (That said, it obviously depends on how deep the working directory path is too, and whether it is behind NFS or something else that might need to cause more work to look up).

2007-01-08Detached HEAD (experimental)Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+18
This allows "git checkout v1.4.3" to dissociate the HEAD of repository from any branch. After this point, "git branch" starts reporting that you are not on any branch. You can go back to an existing branch by saying "git checkout master", for example. This is still experimental. While I think it makes sense to allow commits on top of detached HEAD, it is rather dangerous unless you are careful in the current form. Next "git checkout master" will obviously lose what you have done, so we might want to require "git checkout -f" out of a detached HEAD if we find that the HEAD commit is not an ancestor of any other branches. There is no such safety valve implemented right now. On the other hand, the reason the user did not start the ad-hoc work on a new branch with "git checkout -b" was probably because the work was of a throw-away nature, so the convenience of not having that safety valve might be even better. The user, after accumulating some commits on top of a detached HEAD, can always create a new branch with "git checkout -b" not to lose useful work done while the HEAD was detached. We'll see.

When widening permission for files and directories in a 'shared' repository for a user with inappropriate umask() setting for shared work, make sure we call chmod() only when we actually need to. The primary idea owes credit to Johannes. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-09-16Allow multiple "git_path()" usesLibravatar Linus Torvalds1-1/+9
This allows you to maintain a few filesystem pathnames concurrently, by simply replacing the single static "pathname" buffer with a LRU of four buffers. We did exactly the same thing with sha1_to_hex(), for pretty much exactly the same reason. Sometimes you want to use two pathnames, and while it's easy enough to xstrdup() them, why not just do the LU buffer thing.

2006-06-24Rename safe_strncpy() to strlcpy().Libravatar Peter Eriksen1-14/+1
This cleans up the use of safe_strncpy() even more. Since it has the same semantics as strlcpy() use this name instead. Also move the definition from inside path.c to its own file compat/strlcpy.c, and use it conditionally at compile time, since some platforms already has strlcpy(). It's included in the same way as compat/setenv.c. Signed-off-by: Peter Eriksen <s022018@student.dtu.dk> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
