As with urls, submodule paths with dashes are ignored by
git, but may end up confusing older versions. Detecting them
via fsck lets us prevent modern versions of git from being a
vector to spread broken .gitmodules to older versions.
Compared to blocking leading-dash urls, though, this
detection may be less of a good idea:
1. While such paths provide confusing and broken results,
they don't seem to actually work as option injections
against anything except "cd". In particular, the
submodule code seems to canonicalize to an absolute
path before running "git clone" (so it passes
/your/clone/-sub).
2. It's more likely that we may one day make such names
actually work correctly. Even after we revert this fsck
check, it will continue to be a hassle until hosting
servers are all updated.
On the other hand, it's not entirely clear that the behavior
in older versions is safe. And if we do want to eventually
allow this, we may end up doing so with a special syntax
anyway (e.g., writing "./-sub" in the .gitmodules file, and
teaching the submodule code to canonicalize it when
comparing).
So on balance, this is probably a good protection.

Urls with leading dashes can cause mischief on older
versions of Git. We should detect them so that they can be
rejected by receive.fsckObjects, preventing modern versions
of git from being a vector by which attacks can spread.

We recently banned submodule urls that look like
command-line options. This is the matching change to ban
leading-dash paths.
As with the urls, this should not break any use cases that
currently work. Even with our "--" separator passed to
git-clone, git-submodule.sh gets confused. Without the code
portion of this patch, the clone of "-sub" added in t7417
would yield results like:
/path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 410: cd: Illegal option -s
/path/to/git-submodule: 417: cd: Illegal option -s
Fetched in submodule path '-sub', but it did not contain b56243f8f4eb91b2f1f8109452e659f14dd3fbe4. Direct fetching of that commit failed.
Moreover, naively adding such a submodule doesn't work:
$ git submodule add $url -sub
The following path is ignored by one of your .gitignore files:
-sub
even though there is no such ignore pattern (the test script
hacks around this with a well-placed "git mv").
Unlike leading-dash urls, though, it's possible that such a
path _could_ be useful if we eventually made it work. So
this commit should be seen not as recommending a particular
policy, but rather temporarily closing off a broken and
possibly dangerous code-path. We may revisit this decision
later.
There are two minor differences to the tests in t7416 (that
covered urls):
1. We don't have a "./-sub" escape hatch to make this
work, since the submodule code expects to be able to
match canonical index names to the path field (so you
are free to add submodule config with that path, but we
would never actually use it, since an index entry would
never start with "./").
2. After this patch, cloning actually succeeds. Since we
ignore the submodule.*.path value, we fail to find a
config stanza for our submodule at all, and simply
treat it as inactive. We still check for the "ignoring"
message.

The previous commit taught the submodule code to invoke our
"git clone $url $path" with a "--" separator so that we
aren't confused by urls or paths that start with dashes.
However, that's just one code path. It's not clear if there
are others, and it would be an easy mistake to add one in
the future. Moreover, even with the fix in the previous
commit, it's quite hard to actually do anything useful with
such an entry. Any url starting with a dash must fall into
one of three categories:
- it's meant as a file url, like "-path". But then any
clone is not going to have the matching path, since it's
by definition relative inside the newly created clone. If
you spell it as "./-path", the submodule code sees the
"/" and translates this to an absolute path, so it at
least works (assuming the receiver has the same
filesystem layout as you). But that trick does not apply
for a bare "-path".
- it's meant as an ssh url, like "-host:path". But this
already doesn't work, as we explicitly disallow ssh
hostnames that begin with a dash (to avoid option
injection against ssh).
- it's a remote-helper scheme, like "-scheme::data". This
_could_ work if the receiver bends over backwards and
creates a funny-named helper like "git-remote--scheme".
But normally there would not be any helper that matches.
Since such a url does not work today and is not likely to do
anything useful in the future, let's simply disallow them
entirely. That protects the existing "git clone" path (in a
belt-and-suspenders way), along with any others that might
exist.
Our tests cover two cases:
1. A file url with "./" continues to work, showing that
there's an escape hatch for people with truly silly
repo names.
2. A url starting with "-" is rejected.
Note that we expect case (2) to fail, but it would have done
so even without this commit, for the reasons given above.
So instead of just expecting failure, let's also check for
the magic word "ignoring" on stderr. That lets us know that
we failed for the right reason.

We've recently forbidden .gitmodules to be a symlink in
verify_path(). And it's an easy way to circumvent our fsck
checks for .gitmodules content. So let's complain when we
see it.

Now that the internal fsck code has all of the plumbing we
need, we can start checking incoming .gitmodules files.
Naively, it seems like we would just need to add a call to
fsck_finish() after we've processed all of the objects. And
that would be enough to cover the initial test included
here. But there are two extra bits:
1. We currently don't bother calling fsck_object() at all
for blobs, since it has traditionally been a noop. We'd
actually catch these blobs in fsck_finish() at the end,
but it's more efficient to check them when we already
have the object loaded in memory.
2. The second pass done by fsck_finish() needs to access
the objects, but we're actually indexing the pack in
this process. In theory we could give the fsck code a
special callback for accessing the in-pack data, but
it's actually quite tricky:
a. We don't have an internal efficient index mapping
oids to packfile offsets. We only generate it on
the fly as part of writing out the .idx file.
b. We'd still have to reconstruct deltas, which means
we'd basically have to replicate all of the
reading logic in packfile.c.
Instead, let's avoid running fsck_finish() until after
we've written out the .idx file, and then just add it
to our internal packed_git list.
This does mean that the objects are "in the repository"
before we finish our fsck checks. But unpack-objects
already exhibits this same behavior, and it's an
acceptable tradeoff here for the same reason: the
quarantine mechanism means that pushes will be
fully protected.
In addition to a basic push test in t7415, we add a sneaky
pack that reverses the usual object order in the pack,
requiring that index-pack access the tree and blob during
the "finish" step.
This already works for unpack-objects (since it will have
written out loose objects), but we'll check it with this
sneaky pack for good measure.

As with the previous commit, we must call fsck's "finish"
function in order to catch any queued objects for
.gitmodules checks.
This second pass will be able to access any incoming
objects, because we will have exploded them to loose objects
by now.
This isn't quite ideal, because it means that bad objects
may have been written to the object database (and a
subsequent operation could then reference them, even if the
other side doesn't send the objects again). However, this is
sufficient when used with receive.fsckObjects, since those
loose objects will all be placed in a temporary quarantine
area that will get wiped if we find any problems.

Now that the internal fsck code is capable of checking
.gitmodules files, we just need to teach its callers to use
the "finish" function to check any queued objects.
With this, we can now catch the malicious case in t7415 with
git-fsck.

- there's a new call to verify_path() that doesn't actually
have a mode available. It should be OK to pass "0" here,
since we're just manipulating the untracked cache, not an
actual index entry.
- the lstat() in builtin/update-index.c:update_one() needs
to be updated to handle the fsmonitor case (without this
it still behaves correctly, but does an unnecessary
lstat).

Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file,
but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our
on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by
putting "../" into the name (among other things).
Let's sanity-check these names to avoid building a path that
can be exploited. There are two main decisions:
1. What should the allowed syntax be?
It's tempting to reuse verify_path(), since submodule
names typically come from in-repo paths. But there are
two reasons not to:
a. It's technically more strict than what we need, as
we really care only about breaking out of the
$GIT_DIR/modules/ hierarchy. E.g., having a
submodule named "foo/.git" isn't actually
dangerous, and it's possible that somebody has
manually given such a funny name.
b. Since we'll eventually use this checking logic in
fsck to prevent downstream repositories, it should
be consistent across platforms. Because
verify_path() relies on is_dir_sep(), it wouldn't
block "foo\..\bar" on a non-Windows machine.
2. Where should we enforce it? These days most of the
.gitmodules reads go through submodule-config.c, so
I've put it there in the reading step. That should
cover all of the C code.
We also construct the name for "git submodule add"
inside the git-submodule.sh script. This is probably
not a big deal for security since the name is coming
from the user anyway, but it would be polite to remind
them if the name they pick is invalid (and we need to
expose the name-checker to the shell anyway for our
test scripts).
This patch issues a warning when reading .gitmodules
and just ignores the related config entry completely.
This will generally end up producing a sensible error,
as it works the same as a .gitmodules file which is
missing a submodule entry (so "submodule update" will
barf, but "git clone --recurse-submodules" will print
an error but not abort the clone.
There is one minor oddity, which is that we print the
warning once per malformed config key (since that's how
the config subsystem gives us the entries). So in the
new test, for example, the user would see three
warnings. That's OK, since the intent is that this case
should never come up outside of malicious repositories
(and then it might even benefit the user to see the
message multiple times).
Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of
concept from which the test script was adapted goes to
Etienne Stalmans.

The established way to update the completion script in an already
running shell is to simply source it again: this brings in any new
--options and features, and clears caching variables. E.g. it clears
the variables caching the list of (all|porcelain) git commands, so
when they are later lazy-initialized again, then they will list and
cache any newly installed commmands as well.
Unfortunately, since d401f3debc (git-completion.bash: introduce
__gitcomp_builtin, 2018-02-09) and subsequent patches this doesn't
work for a lot of git commands' options. To eliminate a lot of
hard-to-maintain hard-coded lists of options, those commits changed
the completion script to use a bunch of programmatically created and
lazy-initialized variables to cache the options of those builtin
porcelain commands that use parse-options. These variables are not
cleared upon sourcing the completion script, therefore they continue
caching the old lists of options, even when some commands recently
learned new options or when deprecated options were removed.
Always 'unset' these variables caching the options of builtin commands
when sourcing the completion script.
Redirect 'unset's stderr to /dev/null, because ZSH's 'unset' complains
if it's invoked without any arguments, i.e. no variables caching
builtin's options are set. This can happen, if someone were to source
the completion script twice without completing any --options in
between. Bash stays silent in this case.
Add tests to ensure that these variables are indeed cleared when the
completion script is sourced; not just the variables caching options,
but all other caching variables, i.e. the variables caching commands,
porcelain commands and merge strategies as well.

Four 'cvs diff' related tests in 't9402-git-cvsserver-refs.sh' fail
when the test script is run with '-x' tracing (and using a shell other
than a Bash version supporting BASH_XTRACEFD). The reason for those
failures is that the tests check the emptiness of a subshell's stderr,
which includes the trace of commands executed in that subshell as
well, throwing off the emptiness check.
Save the stdout and stderr of the invoked 'cvs' command instead of the
whole subshell, so the latter remains free from tracing output. (Note
that changing how stdout is saved is only done for the sake of
consistency, it's not necessary for correctness.)
After this change t9402 passes with '-x', even when running with
/bin/sh.

The test 'cvs update (-p)' redirects and checks 'test_cmp's stdout and
even its stderr. The commit introducing this test in 6e8937a084
(cvsserver: Add test for update -p, 2008-03-27) doesn't discuss why,
in fact its log message only consists of that subject line. Anyway,
weird as it is, it kind of made sense due to the way that test was
structured:
After a bit of preparation, this test updates four files via CVS and
checks their contents using 'test_cmp', but it does so in a for loop
iterating over the names of those four files. Now, the exit status of
a for loop is the exit status of the last command executed in the
loop, meaning that the test can't simply rely on the exit code of
'test_cmp' in the loop's body. Instead, the test works it around by
relying on the stdout of 'test_cmp' being silent on success and
showing the diff on failure, as it appends the stdout of all four
'test_cmp' invocations to a single file and checks that file's
emptiness after the loop (with 'test -z "$(cat ...)"', no less; there
was no 'test_must_be_empty' back then). Furthermore, the test
redirects the stderr of those 'test_cmp' invocations to this file,
too: while 'test_cmp' itself doesn't output anything to stderr, the
invoked 'diff' or 'cmp' commands do send their error messages there,
e.g. if they can't open a file because its name was misspelled.
This also makes this test fail when the test script is run with '-x'
tracing (and using a shell other than a Bash version supporting
BASH_XTRACEFD), because 'test_cmp's stderr contains the trace of the
'diff' command executed inside the helper function, throwing off the
subsequent emptiness check.
Stop relying on 'test_cmp's output and instead run 'test_cmp a b ||
return 1' in the for loop in order to make 'test_cmp's error code fail
the test. Furthermore, add the missing && after the cvs command to
create a && chain in the loop's body.
After this change t9400 passes with '-x', even when running with
/bin/sh.
