2006-01-13Exec git programs without using PATH.Libravatar Michal Ostrowski1-2/+5
The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.

2005-10-24Add git-shell.Libravatar Linus Torvalds1-0/+59
This adds a very git specific restricted shell, that can be added to /etc/shells and set to the pw_shell in the /etc/passwd file, to give users ability to push into repositories over ssh without giving them full interactive shell acount. [jc: I updated Linus' patch to match what the current sq_quote() does.] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
