When HEAD points to a nonexistent or invalid branch - for example, to
`refs/heads/` - the fetch should be permitted to continue, but we should
not use it when creating the `for merge` option in the FETCH_HEAD file.
(This emulates git's behavior.)
If fetching from an anonymous remote via its URL, then the URL gets
written into the FETCH_HEAD reference. This is mainly done to give
valuable context to some commands, like for example git-merge(1), which
will put the URL into the generated MERGE_MSG. As a result, what gets
written into FETCH_HEAD may become public in some cases. This is
especially important considering that URLs may contain credentials, e.g.
when cloning 'https://foo:bar@example.com/repo' we persist the complete
URL into FETCH_HEAD and put it without any kind of sanitization into the
MERGE_MSG. This is obviously bad, as your login data has now just leaked
as soon as you do git-push(1).
When writing the URL into FETCH_HEAD, upstream git does strip
credentials first. Let's do the same by trying to parse the remote URL
as a "real" URL, removing any credentials and then re-formatting the
URL. In case this fails, e.g. when it's a file path or not a valid URL,
we just fall back to using the URL as-is without any sanitization. Add
tests to verify our behaviour.
Our file utils functions all have a "futils" prefix, e.g.
`git_futils_touch`. One would thus naturally guess that their
definitions and implementation would live in files "futils.h" and
"futils.c", respectively, but in fact they live in "fileops.h".
Rename the files to match expectations.
When fetching into a repository which has symbolic references via the
"local" transport we run into an assert. The assert is being triggered
while we negotiate the packfile between the two repositories. When
hiding known revisions from the packbuilder revwalk, we unconditionally
hide all references of the local refdb. In case one of these references
is a symbolic reference, though, this means we're trying to hide a
`NULL` OID, which triggers the assert.
Fix the issue by only hiding OID references from the revwalk. Add a test
to catch this issue in the future.
When a refspec contains no rhs and thus won't cause an explicit update,
we skip all the logic, but that means that we don't update FETCH_HEAD
with it, which is what the implicit rhs is.
Add another bit of logic which puts those remote heads in the list of
updates so we put them into FETCH_HEAD.
As a first step in removing the repository-saving logic, don't allow
chaning the url or push url from a remote object, but change the
configuration on the configuration immediately.
Having the setting be different from calling its actions was not a great
idea and made for the sake of the wrong convenience.
Instead of that, accept either fetch options, push options or the
callbacks when dealing with the remote. The fetch options are currently
only the callbacks, but more options will be moved from setters and
getters on the remote to the options.
This does mean passing the same struct along the different functions but
the typical use-case will only call git_remote_fetch() or
git_remote_push() and so won't notice much difference.
The signature for the reflog is not something which changes
dynamically. Almost all uses will be NULL, since we want for the
repository's default identity to be used, making it noise.
In order to allow for changing the identity, we instead provide
git_repository_set_ident() and git_repository_ident() which allow a user
to override the choice of signature.
With opportunistic ref updates, git has introduced the concept of having
base refspecs *and* refspecs that are active for a particular fetch.
Let's start by letting the user override the refspecs for download.
The current FETCH_HEAD parsing code assumes that a quote must end the
branch name. Git however allows for quotes as part of a branch name,
which causes us to consider the FETCH_HEAD file as invalid.
Instead of searching for a single quote char, search for a quote char
followed by SP, which is not a valid part of a ref name.
Cloning from an empty repo must set master's upstream to origin's
master, even if neither of them exist.
Fetching from a non-empty origin must then mark the master branch
for-merge. This currently fails.
