From 4adf569dea052dac88121d822e11c249986b3398 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:38:45 -0700 Subject: signed push: remove duplicated protocol info With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even though we already send a signed copy of the same information when push certificate is in use. Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair not to do so. The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet outside the push certificate. Otherwise a pusher can claim to be pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will evade later audits. Finally, start documenting the protocol.
