Add a new flag --sign=true (or --sign=false), which means the same thing as the original --signed (or --no-signed).

2015-01-07send-pack.c: add --atomic command line argumentLibravatar Ronnie Sahlberg1-2/+47
This adds support to send-pack to negotiate and use atomic pushes iff the server supports it. Atomic pushes are activated by a new command line flag --atomic. In order to do this we also need to change the semantics for send_pack() slightly. The existing send_pack() function actually doesn't send all the refs back to the server when multiple refs are involved, for example when using --all. Several of the failure modes for pushes can already be detected locally in the send_pack client based on the information from the initial server side list of all the refs as generated by receive-pack. Any such refs that we thus know would fail to push are thus pruned from the list of refs we send to the server to update. For atomic pushes, we have to deal thus with both failures that are detected locally as well as failures that are reported back from the server. In order to do so we treat all local failures as push failures too. We introduce a new status code REF_STATUS_ATOMIC_PUSH_FAILED so we can flag all refs that we would normally have tried to push to the server but we did not due to local failures. This is to improve the error message back to the end user to flag that "these refs failed to update since the atomic push operation failed."

2014-12-29pack-objects: use --objects-edge-aggressive for shallow reposLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+3
When fetching into or pushing from a shallow repository, we want to aggressively mark edges as uninteresting, since this decreases the pack size. However, aggressively marking edges can negatively affect performance on large non-shallow repositories with lots of refs. Teach pack-objects a --shallow option to indicate that we're pushing from or fetching into a shallow repository. Use --objects-edge-aggressive only for shallow repositories and otherwise use --objects-edge, which performs better in the general case. Update the callers to pass the --shallow option when they are dealing with a shallow repository.

2014-09-17signed push: fortify against replay attacksLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+14
In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer include it in the push certificate. The receiving end uses an HMAC hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge a nonce that looks like it originated from it. The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK" if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so that the hooks can more easily check.

2014-09-15signed push: add "pushee" header to push certificateLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+5
Record the URL of the intended recipient for a push (after anonymizing it if it has authentication material) on a new "pushee URL" header. Because the networking configuration (SSH-tunnels, proxies, etc.) on the pushing user's side varies, the receiving repository may not know the single canonical URL all the pushing users would refer it as (besides, many sites allow pushing over ssh://host/path and https://host/path protocols to the same repository but with different local part of the path). So this value may not be reliably used for replay-attack prevention purposes, but this will still serve as a human readable hint to identify the repository the certificate refers to.

2014-09-15signed push: remove duplicated protocol infoLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even though we already send a signed copy of the same information when push certificate is in use. Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair not to do so. The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet outside the push certificate. Otherwise a pusher can claim to be pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will evade later audits. Finally, start documenting the protocol. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-09-15send-pack: send feature request on push-cert packetLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-5/+8
We would want to update the interim protocol so that we do not send the usual update commands when the push certificate feature is in use, as the same information is in the certificate. Once that happens, the push-cert packet may become the only protocol command, but then there is no packet to put the feature request behind, like we always did. As we have prepared the receiving end that understands the push-cert feature to accept the feature request on the first protocol packet (other than "shallow ", which was an unfortunate historical mistake that has to come before everything else), we can give the feature request on the push-cert packet instead of the first update protocol packet, in preparation for the next step to actually update to the final protocol.

2014-09-15push: the beginning of "git push --signed"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+64
While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my 'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so the signature on the object alone is insufficient. The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later. Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate" (for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an orthogonal axis. The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this: 1. You push out your work with "git push --signed". 2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual, together with what protocol extension the receiving end supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails. Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is prepared in core: certificate version 0.1 pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700 7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master 3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable, falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows, followed by a copy of the protocol message lines. Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It is expected that new command packet types other than the old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in unsigned pushes. The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG, formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed, and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack). In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in turn comes before it sends the pack data. 3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable, which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be a good place to log all the received certificates for later audits. Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead. This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to review (in other words, the series at this step should never be released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one). As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of this step. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2014-09-15send-pack: clarify that cmds_sent is a booleanLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-3/+4
We use it to make sure that the feature request is sent only once on the very first request packet (ignoring the "shallow " line, which was an unfortunate mistake we cannot retroactively fix with existing receive-pack already deployed in the field) and we set it to "true" with cmds_sent++, not because we care about the actual number of updates sent but because it is merely an idiomatic way.

2014-09-15send-pack: refactor inspecting and resetting status and sending commandsLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-19/+30

20e8b465 (refactor ref status logic for pushing, 2010-01-08) restructured the code to set status for each ref to be pushed, but did not quite go far enough. We inspect the status set earlier by set_refs_status_for_push() and then perform yet another update to the status of a ref with an otherwise OK status to be deleted to mark it with REF_STATUS_REJECT_NODELETE when the protocol tells us never to delete. Split the latter into a separate loop that comes before we enter the per-ref loop. This way we would have one less condition to check in the main loop.

2013-02-20pkt-line: provide a LARGE_PACKET_MAX static bufferLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+3
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 King1-5/+1
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: drop safe_write functionLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
This is just write_or_die by another name. The one distinction is that write_or_die will treat EPIPE specially by suppressing error messages. That's fine, as we die by SIGPIPE anyway (and in the off chance that it is disabled, write_or_die will simulate it).

2013-02-20send-pack: prefer prefixcmp over memcmp in receive_statusLibravatar Jeff King1-5/+4
This code predates prefixcmp, so it used memcmp along with static sizes. Replacing these memcmps with prefixcmp makes the code much more readable, and the lack of static sizes will make refactoring it in future patches simpler. Note that we used to be unnecessarily liberal in parsing the "unpack" status line, and would accept "unpack ok\njunk". No version of git has ever produced that, and it violates the BNF in Documentation/technical/pack-protocol.txt. Let's take this opportunity to tighten the check by converting the prefix comparison into a strcmp. While we're in the area, let's also fix a vague error message that does not follow our usual conventions (it writes directly to stderr and does not use the "error:" prefix).

2013-01-24push: introduce REJECT_FETCH_FIRST and REJECT_NEEDS_FORCELibravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+2
When we push to update an existing ref, if: * the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or * the object we are pushing is not a commit, it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again, as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is involved in such a case. If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved. In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from there and integrate before pushing again. Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages appropriately. [jc: with help by Peff on message details] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2012-12-02push: require force for refs under refs/tags/Libravatar Chris Rorvick1-0/+1
References are allowed to update from one commit-ish to another if the former is an ancestor of the latter. This behavior is oriented to branches which are expected to move with commits. Tag references are expected to be static in a repository, though, thus an update to something under refs/tags/ should be rejected unless the update is forced.

2012-10-29send-pack: move core code to libgit.aLibravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+344
send_pack() is used by transport.c, part of libgit.a while it stays in builtin/send-pack.c. Move it to send-pack.c so that we won't get undefined reference if a program that uses libgit.a happens to pull it in.

2007-11-02Miscellaneous const changes and utilitiesLibravatar Daniel Barkalow1-4/+4
The list of remote refs in struct transport should be const, because builtin-fetch will get confused if it changes. The url in git_connect should be const (and work on a copy) instead of requiring the caller to copy it. match_refs doesn't modify the refspecs it gets. get_fetch_map and get_remote_ref don't change the list they get. Allow transport get_refs_list methods to modify the struct transport. Add a function to copy a list of refs, when a function needs a mutable copy of a const list. Add a function to check the type of a ref, as per the code in connect.c Signed-off-by: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
