2018-08-27tests: fix and add lint for non-portable seqLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+2
The seq command is not in POSIX, and doesn't exist on e.g. OpenBSD. We've had the test_seq wrapper since d17cf5f3a3 ("tests: Introduce test_seq", 2012-08-04), but use of it keeps coming back, e.g. in the recently added "fetch negotiator" tests being added here. So let's also add a check to "make test-lint". The regex is aiming to capture the likes of $(seq ..) and "seq" as a stand-alone command, without capturing some existing cases where we e.g. have files called "seq", as \bseq\b would do.

2018-06-28fetch-pack: implement ref-in-wantLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+149
Implement ref-in-want on the client side so that when a server supports the "ref-in-want" feature, a client will send "want-ref" lines for each reference the client wants to fetch. This feature allows clients to tolerate inconsistencies that exist when a remote repository's refs change during the course of negotiation. This allows a client to request to request a particular ref without specifying the OID of the ref. This means that instead of hitting an error when a ref no longer points at the OID it did at the beginning of negotiation, negotiation can continue and the value of that ref will be sent at the termination of negotiation, just before a packfile is sent. More information on the ref-in-want feature can be found in Documentation/technical/protocol-v2.txt.

2018-06-28upload-pack: test negotiation with changing repositoryLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+68
Add tests to check the behavior of fetching from a repository which changes between rounds of negotiation (for example, when different servers in a load-balancing agreement participate in the same stateless RPC negotiation). This forms a baseline of comparison to the ref-in-want functionality (which will be introduced to the client in subsequent commits), and ensures that subsequent commits do not change existing behavior. As part of this effort, a mechanism to substitute strings in a single HTTP response is added. Signed-off-by: Brandon Williams <bmwill@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2018-06-28upload-pack: implement ref-in-wantLibravatar Brandon Williams1-0/+160
Currently, while performing packfile negotiation, clients are only allowed to specify their desired objects using object ids. This causes a vulnerability to failure when an object turns non-existent during negotiation, which may happen if, for example, the desired repository is provided by multiple Git servers in a load-balancing arrangement and there exists replication delay. In order to eliminate this vulnerability, implement the ref-in-want feature for the 'fetch' command in protocol version 2. This feature enables the 'fetch' command to support requests in the form of ref names through a new "want-ref <ref>" parameter. At the conclusion of negotiation, the server will send a list of all of the wanted references (as provided by "want-ref" lines) in addition to the generated packfile.
