From 4539c218c362f2c1a26c61b1aa57af10342fd5a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2017 15:33:28 -0500 Subject: remote: avoid reading $GIT_DIR config in non-repo The "git ls-remote" command can be run outside of a repository, but needs to look up configured remotes. The config code is smart enough to handle this case itself, but we also check the historical "branches" and "remotes" paths in $GIT_DIR. The git_path() function causes us to blindly look at ".git/remotes", even if we know we aren't in a git repository. For now, this is just an unlikely bug (you probably don't have such a file if you're not in a repository), but it will become more obvious once we merge b1ef400ee (setup_git_env: avoid blind fall-back to ".git", 2016-10-20): [now] $ git ls-remote fatal: No remote configured to list refs from. [with b1ef400ee] $ git ls-remote fatal: BUG: setup_git_env called without repository We can fix this by skipping these sources entirely when we're outside of a repository. The test is a little more complex than the demonstration above. Rather than detect the correct behavior by parsing the error message, we can actually set up a case where the remote name we give is a valid repository, but b1ef400ee would cause us to die in the configuration step. This test doesn't fail now, but it future-proofs us for the b1ef400ee change.

Accordingly, Git sets the GIT_DIR environment variable to the path to the current repository when invoking remote helpers. There is a special case it does not handle: "git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" can be run to inspect a remote repository without being run from any local repository. GIT_DIR is not useful in this scenario: - if we are not in a repository, we don't need to set GIT_DIR to override an existing GIT_DIR value from the environment. If GIT_DIR is present then we would be in a repository if it were valid and would have called die() if it weren't. - not setting GIT_DIR may cause a helper to do the usual discovery walk to find the repository. But we know we're not in one, or we would have found it ourselves. So in the worst case it may expend a little extra effort to try to find a repository and fail (for example, remote-curl would do this to try to find repository-level configuration). So leave GIT_DIR unset in this case. This makes GIT_DIR easier to understand for remote helper authors and makes transport code less of a special case for repository discovery.
