2014-02-28add uploadarchive.allowUnreachable optionLibravatar Scott J. Goldman1-0/+9
In commit ee27ca4, we started restricting remote git-archive invocations to only accessing reachable commits. This matches what upload-pack allows, but does restrict some useful cases (e.g., HEAD:foo). We loosened this in 0f544ee, which allows `foo:bar` as long as `foo` is a ref tip. However, that still doesn't allow many useful things, like: 1. Commits accessible from a ref, like `foo^:bar`, which are reachable 2. Arbitrary sha1s, even if they are reachable. We can do a full object-reachability check for these cases, but it can be quite expensive if the client has sent us the sha1 of a tree; we have to visit every sub-tree of every commit in the worst case. Let's instead give site admins an escape hatch, in case they prefer the more liberal behavior. For many sites, the full object database is public anyway (e.g., if you allow dumb walker access), or the site admin may simply decide the security/convenience tradeoff is not worth it. This patch adds a new config option to disable the restrictions added in ee27ca4. It defaults to off, meaning there is no change in behavior by default.

Test fix. * jk/t5000-gzip-simplify: t5000: simplify gzip prerequisite checks
2013-12-04t5000: simplify gzip prerequisite checksLibravatar Jeff King1-16/+4
In t5000, we test the built-in ".tar.gz" config for git-archive. To make our tests portable, we check that we have a way to both gzip and gunzip, and we respected environment variables to point to alternate commands for doing these operations. However, the $GZIP variable did not actually do anything, as changing it would not affect the baked-in value in archive-tar.c. Moreover, setting the variable $GZIP influences gzip itself. From the gzip man page: The environment variable GZIP can hold a set of default options for gzip. These options are interpreted first and can be overwritten by explicit command line parameters. We could rename this variable, and use it to set up custom config (or even have a Makefile knob to affect the built binary), but it is not worth the trouble; nobody has ever reported a problem with the baked-in default, and they can always change it via config if they need to. Let's just drop the variable and use "gzip" in the test (keeping the prerequisite, of course). While we're at it, we can drop the GUNZIP variable and prerequisite; it uses "gzip -d", so if we have GZIP, we will have both. We can also use test_lazy_prereq for the gzip prerequisite, which is simpler and behaves more consistently with the rest of git (e.g., by making output available when the test is run with "-v").

2013-05-20t5000: test long filenamesLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+46
Add a file with a long name to the test archive in order to check entries with pax extended headers. Also add a check for tar versions that doen't understand this format. Those versions should extract the headers as a regular files. Add code to check_tar() to interpret the path header if present, so that our tests work even with those tar versions. It's important to use the fallback code only if needed to still be able to detect git archive errorously creating pax headers as regular file entries (with a suitable tar version, of course). The archive used to check for pax header support in tar was generated using GNU tar 1.26 and its option --format=pax.

This is fewer lines of code, but more importantly, fixes a bogus pointer offset. We are looking for "tar." in the section, but later assume that the dot we found is at offset 9, not 3. This is a holdover from an earlier iteration of 767cf45 which called the section "tarfilter".

2011-11-21archive: don't let remote clients get unreachable commitsLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+8
Usually git is careful not to allow clients to fetch arbitrary objects from the database; for example, objects received via upload-pack must be reachable from a ref. Upload-archive breaks this by feeding the client's tree-ish directly to get_sha1, which will accept arbitrary hex sha1s, reflogs, etc. This is not a problem if all of your objects are publicly reachable anyway (or at least public to anybody who can run upload-archive). Or if you are making the repo available by dumb protocols like http or rsync (in which case the client can read your whole object db directly). But for sites which allow access only through smart protocols, clients may be able to fetch trees from commits that exist in the server's object database but are not referenced (e.g., because history was rewound). This patch tightens upload-archive's lookup to use dwim_ref rather than get_sha1. This means a remote client can only fetch the tip of a named ref, not an arbitrary sha1 or reflog entry. This also restricts some legitimate requests, too: 1. Reachable non-tip commits, like: git archive --remote=$url v1.0~5 2. Sub-trees of reachable commits, like: git archive --remote=$url v1.7.7:Documentation Local requests continue to use get_sha1, and are not restricted at all.

2010-02-07archive: simplify archive format guessingLibravatar René Scharfe1-0/+10
The code to guess an output archive's format consumed any --format options and built a new one. Jonathan noticed that it does so in an unsafe way, risking to overflow the static buffer fmt_opt. Change the code to keep the existing --format options intact and to only add a new one if a format could be guessed based on the output file name. The new option is added as the first one, allowing the existing ones to overrule it, i.e. explicit --format options given on the command line win over format guesses, as before. To simplify the code further, format_from_name() is changed to return the full --format option, thus no potentially dangerous sprintf() calls are needed any more.

Before the strbuf conversion, result was a char pointer. The if statement checked for it being not NULL, which meant that no "$Format:...$" string had been found and no replacement had to be made. format_subst() returned NULL in that case -- the caller then simply kept the original file content, as it was unaffected by the expansion. The length of the string being 0 is not the same as the string being NULL (expansion to an empty string vs. no expansion at all), so checking result.len != 0 is not a full replacement for the old NULL check. However, I doubt the subtle optimization explained above resulted in a notable speed-up anyway. Simplify the code and add the tail of the file to the expanded string unconditionally.

The same placeholders as those for the option --pretty=format: of git-log et al. can be used. The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles. It is limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though. E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output, and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes. That can be fixed in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of git-log, too.
