804098bb (git rebase -i: add static check for commands and SHA-1,
2015-06-29) tried to check all insns before running any in the todo
list, but it did so by implementing its own parser that is a lot
stricter than necessary. We used to allow lines that are indented
(including comment lines), and we used to allow a whitespace between
the insn and the commit object name to be HT, among other things,
that are flagged as an invalid line by mistake.
Fix this by using the same tokenizer that is used to parse the todo
list file in the new check.
Whether it's a good thing to accept indented comments is
debatable (other commands like "git commit" do not accept them), but we
already accepted them in the past, and some people and scripts rely on
this behavior. Also, a line starting with space followed by a '#' cannot
have any meaning other than being a comment, hence it doesn't harm to
accept them as comments.

rebase-i: explicitly accept tab as separator in commands
The git-rebase-todo is parsed several times with different parsers. In
principle, the user input is normalized by transform_todo_ids and
further parsing can be stricter.
the parser of transform_todo_ids was considering the sha1 to be
"deadbeef<TAB>commit", and was leaving the tab in the transformed sheet.
In practice, this went unnoticed since the actual command interpretation
was done later in do_next which did accept the tab as a separator.
Make it explicit in the code of transform_todo_ids that tabs are
accepted. This way, code that mimicks it will also accept tabs as
separator.
A similar construct appears in skip_unnecessary_picks, but this one
comes after transform_todo_ids, hence reads the normalized format, so it
needs not be changed.

merge-file: enforce MAX_XDIFF_SIZE on incoming files
The previous commit enforces MAX_XDIFF_SIZE at the
interfaces to xdiff: xdi_diff (which calls xdl_diff) and
ll_xdl_merge (which calls xdl_merge).
But we have another direct call to xdl_merge in
merge-file.c. If it were written today, this probably would
just use the ll_merge machinery. But it predates that code,
and uses slightly different options to xdl_merge (e.g.,
ZEALOUS_ALNUM).
We could try to abstract out an xdi_merge to match the
existing xdi_diff, but even that is difficult. Rather than
simply report error, we try to treat large files as binary,
and that distinction would happen outside of xdi_merge.
The simplest fix is to just replicate the MAX_XDIFF_SIZE
check in merge-file.c.

The xdiff code is not prepared to handle extremely large
files. It uses "int" in many places, which can overflow if
we have a very large number of lines or even bytes in our
input files. This can cause us to produce incorrect diffs,
with no indication that the output is wrong. Or worse, we
may even underallocate a buffer whose size is the result of
an overflowing addition.
We're much better off to tell the user that we cannot diff
or merge such a large file. This patch covers both cases,
but in slightly different ways:
1. For merging, we notice the large file and cleanly fall
back to a binary merge (which is effectively "we cannot
merge this").
2. For diffing, we make the binary/text distinction much
earlier, and in many different places. For this case,
we'll use the xdi_diff as our choke point, and reject
any diff there before it hits the xdiff code.
This means in most cases we'll die() immediately after.
That's not ideal, but in practice we shouldn't
generally hit this code path unless the user is trying
to do something tricky. We already consider files
larger than core.bigfilethreshold to be binary, so this
code would only kick in when that is circumvented
(either by bumping that value, or by using a
.gitattribute to mark a file as diffable).
In other words, we can avoid being "nice" here, because
there is already nice code that tries to do the right
thing. We are adding the suspenders to the nice code's
belt, so notice when it has been worked around (both to
protect the user from malicious inputs, and because it
is better to die() than generate bogus output).
The maximum size was chosen after experimenting with feeding
large files to the xdiff code. It's just under a gigabyte,
which leaves room for two obvious cases:
- a diff3 merge conflict result on files of maximum size X
could be 3*X plus the size of the markers, which would
still be only about 3G, which fits in a 32-bit int.
- some of the diff code allocates arrays of one int per
record. Even if each file consists only of blank lines,
then a file smaller than 1G will have fewer than 1G
records, and therefore the int array will fit in 4G.
Since the limit is arbitrary anyway, I chose to go under a
gigabyte, to leave a safety margin (e.g., we would not want
to overflow by allocating "(records + 1) * sizeof(int)" or
similar.

When we call into xdiff to perform a diff, we generally lose
the return code completely. Typically by ignoring the return
of our xdi_diff wrapper, but sometimes we even propagate
that return value up and then ignore it later. This can
lead to us silently producing incorrect diffs (e.g., "git
log" might produce no output at all, not even a diff header,
for a content-level diff).
In practice this does not happen very often, because the
typical reason for xdiff to report failure is that it
malloc() failed (it uses straight malloc, and not our
xmalloc wrapper). But it could also happen when xdiff
triggers one our callbacks, which returns an error (e.g.,
outf() in builtin/rerere.c tries to report a write failure
in this way). And the next patch also plans to add more
failure modes.
Let's notice an error return from xdiff and react
appropriately. In most of the diff.c code, we can simply
die(), which matches the surrounding code (e.g., that is
what we do if we fail to load a file for diffing in the
first place). This is not that elegant, but we are probably
better off dying to let the user know there was a problem,
rather than simply generating bogus output.
We could also just die() directly in xdi_diff, but the
callers typically have a bit more context, and can provide a
better message (and if we do later decide to pass errors up,
we're one step closer to doing so).
There is one interesting case, which is in diff_grep(). Here
if we cannot generate the diff, there is nothing to match,
and we silently return "no hits". This is actually what the
existing code does already, but we make it a little more
explicit.

Previously, libcurl would follow redirection to any protocol
it was compiled for support with. This is desirable to allow
redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. However, it would even
successfully allow redirection from HTTP to SFTP, a protocol
that git does not otherwise support at all. Furthermore
git's new protocol-whitelisting could be bypassed by
following a redirect within the remote helper, as it was
only enforced at transport selection time.
This patch limits redirects within libcurl to HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP and FTPS. If there is a protocol-whitelist present, this
list is limited to those also allowed by the whitelist. As
redirection happens from within libcurl, it is impossible
for an HTTP redirect to a protocol implemented within
another remote helper.
When the curl version git was compiled with is too old to
support restrictions on protocol redirection, we warn the
user if GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL restrictions were requested. This
is a little inaccurate, as even without that variable in the
environment, we would still restrict SFTP, etc, and we do
not warn in that case. But anything else means we would
literally warn every time git accesses an http remote.
This commit includes a test, but it is not as robust as we
would hope. It redirects an http request to ftp, and checks
that curl complained about the protocol, which means that we
are relying on curl's specific error message to know what
happened. Ideally we would redirect to a working ftp server
and confirm that we can clone without protocol restrictions,
and not with them. But we do not have a portable way of
providing an ftp server, nor any other protocol that curl
supports (https is the closest, but we would have to deal
with certificates).

The definition of log_div() appended information to the web server's
logfile to make the test more readable. However, log_div() was called
right after a request is served (which is done by git-http-backend);
the web server waits for the git-http-backend process to exit before
it writes to the log file. When the duration between serving a request
and exiting was long, the log_div() output was written before the last
request's log, and the test failed. (This duration could become
especially long for PROFILE=GEN builds.)
To get rid of this behavior, we should not change the logfile at all.
This commit removes log_div() and its calls. The additional information
is kept in the test (for readability reasons) but filtered out before
comparing it to the actual logfile.

submodule: allow only certain protocols for submodule fetches
Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary
code found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come
from arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
repository). Let's restrict submodules to fetching from a
known-good subset of protocols.
Note that we apply this restriction to all submodule
commands, whether the URL comes from .gitmodules or not.
This is more restrictive than we need to be; for example, in
the tests we run:
git submodule add ext::...
which should be trusted, as the URL comes directly from the
command line provided by the user. But doing it this way is
simpler, and makes it much less likely that we would miss a
case. And since such protocols should be an exception
(especially because nobody who clones from them will be able
to update the submodules!), it's not likely to inconvenience
anyone in practice.

transport: add a protocol-whitelist environment variable
If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
order to get the complete view as intended by the other
side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
exposes them to the attacker).
Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).
We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
effect, it is the only sensible one).
A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
unable to test the file-local code on machines without
apache.
