shell: disallow repo names beginning with dashJeff King Sat, 29 Apr 2017 12:36:44 +0000 (08:36 -0400)

shell: disallow repo names beginning with dash

When a remote server uses git-shell, the client side will
connect to it like:

ssh server "git-upload-pack 'foo.git'"

and we literally exec ("git-upload-pack", "foo.git"). In
early versions of upload-pack and receive-pack, we took a
repository argument and nothing else. But over time they
learned to accept dashed options. If the user passes a
repository name that starts with a dash, the results are
confusing at best (we complain of a bogus option instead of
a non-existent repository) and malicious at worst (the user
can start an interactive pager via "--help").

We could pass "--" to the sub-process to make sure the
user's argument is interpreted as a branch name. I.e.:

git-upload-pack -- -foo.git

But adding "--" automatically would make us inconsistent
with a normal shell (i.e., when git-shell is not in use),
where "-foo.git" would still be an error. For that case, the
client would have to specify the "--", but they can't do so
reliably, as existing versions of git-shell do not allow
more than a single argument.

The simplest thing is to simply disallow "-" at the start of
the repo name argument. This hasn't worked either with or
without git-shell since version 1.0.0, and nobody has
complained.

Note that this patch just applies to do_generic_cmd(), which
runs upload-pack, receive-pack, and upload-archive. There
are two other types of commands that git-shell runs:

- do_cvs_cmd(), but this already restricts the argument to
be the literal string "server"

- admin-provided commands in the git-shell-commands
directory. We'll pass along arbitrary arguments there,
so these commands could have similar problems. But these
commands might actually understand dashed arguments, so
we cannot just block them here. It's up to the writer of
the commands to make sure they are safe. With great
power comes great responsibility.

mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited... Ben Wijen Mon, 22 Aug 2016 12:47:55 +0000 (14:47 +0200)

mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes

When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to
said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the
child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work
because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them.
The symptom:

Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed.
Should I try again? (y/n)

Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work
because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx
handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr).

Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g.
git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles.

This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the
O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our
purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on
Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and
map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows.

As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where
the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux
kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL.

This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles

On Windows, a file cannot be removed unless all file handles to it have
been released. Hence it is particularly important to close handles when
spawning children (which would probably not even know that they hold on
to those handles).

The example chosen for this test is a custom merge driver that indeed
has no idea that it blocks the deletion of index.lock. The full use case
is a daemon that lives on after the merge, with subsequent invocations
handing off to the daemon, thereby avoiding hefty start-up costs. We
simulate this behavior by simply sleeping one second.

Note that the test only fails on Windows, due to the file locking issue.
Since we have no way to say "expect failure with MINGW, success
otherwise", we simply skip this test on Windows for now.

t/Makefile: ensure that paths are valid on platforms we care

Some pathnames that are okay on ext4 and on HFS+ cannot be checked
out on Windows. Tests that want to see operations on such paths on
filesystems that support them must do so behind appropriate test
prerequisites, and must not include them in the source tree (instead
they should create them when they run). Otherwise, the source tree
cannot even be checked out.

Make sure that double-quotes, asterisk, colon, greater/less-than,
question-mark, backslash, tab, vertical-bar, as well as any non-ASCII
characters never appear in the pathnames with a new test-lint-* target
as part of a `make test`. To that end, we call `git ls-files` (ensuring
that the paths are quoted properly), relying on the fact that paths
containing non-ASCII characters are quoted within double-quotes.

In case that the source code does not actually live in a Git
repository (e.g. when extracted from a .zip file), or that the `git`
executable cannot be executed, we simply ignore the error for now; In
that case, our trusty Continuous Integration will be the last line of
defense and catch any problematic file name.

Noticed when a topic wanted to add a pathname with '>' in it. A
check like this will prevent a similar problems from happening in the
future.

difftool: always honor fatal error exit codesJohn Keeping Mon, 15 Aug 2016 21:54:39 +0000 (22:54 +0100)

difftool: always honor fatal error exit codes

At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the
exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we
don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files
differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the
selected diff utility is not found.

POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for
"command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the
command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash
and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use
"1" for the exit status we want to ignore.

Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that
some form of fatal error occurred.

receive-pack: use FLEX_ALLOC_MEM in queue_command()

Use the macro FLEX_ALLOC_MEM instead of open-coding it. This shortens
and simplifies the code a bit.

commit: use FLEX_ARRAY in struct merge_remote_desc

Convert the name member of struct merge_remote_desc to a FLEX_ARRAY and
use FLEX_ALLOC_STR to build the struct. This halves the number of
memory allocations, saves the storage for a pointer and avoids an
indirection when reading the name.

merge-recursive: fix verbose output for multiple base trees

One of the indirect callers of make_virtual_commit() passes the result of
oid_to_hex() as the name, i.e. a pointer to a static buffer. Since the
function uses that string pointer directly in building a struct
merge_remote_desc, multiple entries can end up sharing the same name
inadvertently.

Fix that by calling set_merge_remote_desc(), which creates a copy of the
string, instead of building the struct by hand.

handle_message_id() duplicates the contents of the strbuf that is passed

git mv: do not keep slash in `git mv dir non-existing-dir/`

When calling `rename("dir", "non-existing-dir/")` on Linux, it silently
succeeds, stripping the trailing slash of the second argument.

This is all good and dandy but this behavior disagrees with the specs at

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/rename.html

that state clearly regarding the 2nd parameter (called `new`):

If the `new` argument does not resolve to an existing directory
entry for a file of type directory and the `new` argument
contains at least one non- <slash> character and ends with one
or more trailing <slash> characters after all symbolic links
have been processed, `rename()` shall fail.

Of course, we would like `git mv dir non-existing-dir/` to succeed (and
rename the directory "dir" to "non-existing-dir"). Let's be extra
careful to remove the trailing slash in that case.

This lets t7001-mv.sh pass in Bash on Windows.
