2008-08-29Merge branch 'maint'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+13
* maint: tutorial: gentler illustration of Alice/Bob workflow using gitk pretty=format: respect date format options make git-shell paranoid about closed stdin/stdout/stderr Document gitk --argscmd flag. Fix '--dirstat' with cross-directory renaming for-each-ref: Allow a trailing slash in the patterns
2008-08-29make git-shell paranoid about closed stdin/stdout/stderrLibravatar Paolo Bonzini1-0/+13
It is in general unsafe to start a program with one or more of file descriptors 0/1/2 closed. Karl Chen for example noticed that stat_command does this in order to rename a pipe file descriptor to 0: dup2(from, 0); close(from); ... but if stdin was closed (for example) from == 0, so that dup2(0, 0); close(0); just ends up closing the pipe. Another extremely rare but nasty problem would occur if an "important" file ends up in file descriptor 2, and is corrupted by a call to die(). Fixing this in git was considered to be overkill, so this patch works around it only for git-shell. The fix is simply to open all the "low" descriptors to /dev/null in main.

2008-08-25Revert "Build-in "git-shell""Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+89
This reverts commit daa0cc9a92c9c2c714aa5f7da6d0ff65b93e0698. It was a stupid idea to do this; when run as a log-in shell, it is spawned with argv[0] set to "-git-shell", so the usual name-based dispatch would not work to begin with.
2008-08-20Build-in "git-shell"Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-89/+0
This trivially makes "git-shell" a built-in. It makes the executable even fatter, though. And MinGW removed git-shell only because of the funny dependencies; there is no reason to do so anymore.

2008-08-19shell: do not play duplicated definition games to shrink the executableLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-8/+0
Playing with linker games to shrink git-shell did not go well with various other platforms and compilers. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-07-25Record the command invocation path earlyLibravatar Johannes Sixt1-2/+2
We will need the command invocation path in system_path(). This path was passed to setup_path(), but system_path() can be called earlier, for example via: main commit_pager_choice setup_pager git_config git_etc_gitconfig system_path Therefore, we introduce git_set_argv0_path() and call it as soon as possible.

2008-06-27shrink git-shell by avoiding redundant dependenciesLibravatar Dmitry Potapov1-0/+8
A lot of modules that have nothing to do with git-shell functionality were linked in, bloating git-shell more than 8 times. This patch cuts off redundant dependencies by: 1. providing stubs for three functions that make no sense for git-shell; 2. moving quote_path_fully from environment.c to quote.c to make the later self sufficient; 3. moving make_absolute_path into a new separate file. The following numbers have been received with the default optimization settings on master using GCC 4.1.2: Before: text data bss dec hex filename 143915 1348 93168 238431 3a35f git-shell After: text data bss dec hex filename 17670 788 8232 26690 6842 git-shell Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2008-06-26git-shell: accept "git foo" formLibravatar Junio C Hamano1-4/+13
This is a backport of 0a47dc110e042b5bcc63dc94c8d517e67efe9306 to 'maint' to be included in 1.5.6.2 so that older server side can accept dashless form of request when clients are updated. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-10-29shell should call the new setup_path() to setup $PATHLibravatar Scott R Parish1-7/+1
Shell currently does its own manual thing for setting up the $PATH; it can now call setup_path(). Signed-off-by: Scott R Parish <srp@srparish.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2007-10-15Support cvs via git-shellLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-1/+26
This adds cvs support to the git-shell; You can now give new users a restricted git-shell and they still can commit via git's cvs emulator. Note that either the gecos information must be accurate, or you must provide a $HOME/.gitconfig with the appropriate user credentials. Since the git-shell is too restricted to allow the user to do it (on purpose!), it is up to the administrator to take care of that. Based on an idea by Jan Wielemaker.

2007-02-20Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-03-05Const tightening.Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-1/+1
Mark Wooding noticed there was a type mismatch warning in git.c; this patch does things slightly differently (mostly tightening const) and was what I was holding onto, waiting for the setup-revisions change to be merged into the master branch. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
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.
