2024-05-22setup: fix bug with "includeIf.onbranch" when initializing dirPatrick Steinhardt2-19/+108
It was reported that git-init(1) can fail when initializing an existing directory in case the config contains an "includeIf.onbranch:" condition: $ mkdir repo $ git -c includeIf.onbranch:main.path=nonexistent init repo BUG: refs.c:2056: reference backend is unknown The same error can also be triggered when re-initializing an already existing repository. The bug has been introduced in 173761e21b (setup: start tracking ref storage format, 2023-12-29), which wired up the ref storage format. The root cause is in `init_db()`, which tries to read the config before we have initialized `the_repository` and most importantly its ref storage format. We eventually end up calling `include_by_branch()` and execute `refs_resolve_ref_unsafe()`, but because we have not initialized the ref storage format yet this will trigger the above bug. Interestingly, `include_by_branch()` has a mechanism that will only cause us to resolve the ref when `the_repository->gitdir` is set. This is also the reason why this only happens when we initialize an already existing directory or repository: `gitdir` is set in those cases, but not when creating a new directory. Now there are two ways to address the issue: - We can adapt `include_by_branch()` to also make the code conditional on whether `the_repository->ref_storage_format` is set. - We can shift around code such that we initialize the repository format before we read the config. While the first approach would be safe, it may also cause us to paper over issues where a ref store should have been set up. In our case for example, it may be reasonable to expect that re-initializing the repo will cause the "onbranch:" condition to trigger, but we would not do that if the ref storage format was not set up yet. This also used to work before the above commit that introduced this bug. Rearrange the code such that we set up the repository format before reading the config. This fixes the bug and ensures that "onbranch:" conditions can trigger.

2024-05-22add-patch: enforce only one-letter response to promptsJunio C Hamano2-2/+43
In a "git add -p" session, especially when we are not using the single-key mode, we may see 'qa' as a response to a prompt (1/2) Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,j,J,g,/,e,p,?]? and then just do the 'q' thing (i.e. quit the session), ignoring everything other than the first byte. If 'q' and 'a' are next to each other on the user's keyboard, there is a plausible chance that we see 'qa' when the user who wanted to say 'a' fat-fingered and we ended up doing the 'q' thing instead. As we didn't think of a good reason during the review discussion why we want to accept excess letters only to ignore them, it appears to be a safe change to simply reject input that is longer than just one byte. The two exceptions are the 'g' command that takes a hunk number, and the '/' command that takes a regular expression. They have to be accompanied by their operands (this makes me wonder how users who set the interactive.singlekey configuration feed these operands---it turns out that we notice there is no operand and give them another chance to type the operand separately, without using single key input this time), so we accept a string that is more than one byte long. Keep the "use only the first byte, downcased" behaviour when we ask yes/no question, though. Neither on Qwerty or on Dvorak, 'y' and 'n' are not close to each other.

2024-05-22push: don't fetch commit object when checking existenceTom Hughes2-1/+20
If we're checking to see whether to tell the user to do a fetch before pushing there's no need for us to actually fetch the object from the remote if the clone is partial. Because the promisor doesn't do negotiation actually trying to do the fetch of the new head can be very expensive as it will try and include history that we already have and it just results in rejecting the push with a different message, and in behavior that is different to a clone that is not partial.

2024-05-22chainlint.pl: latch CPU count directly reported by /proc/cpuinfoEric Sunshine1-0/+3
On Linux, ncores() computes the number of CPUs by counting the "processor" or "CPU" lines emitted by /proc/cpuinfo. However, on some platforms, /proc/cpuinfo does not enumerate the CPUs at all, but instead merely mentions the total number of CPUs. In such cases, pluck the CPU count directly from the /proc/cpuinfo line which reports the number of active CPUs. (In particular, check for "cpus active: NN" and "ncpus active: NN" since both variants have been seen in the wild[1,2].)

2024-05-21clone: drop the protections where hooks aren't runJohannes Schindelin3-96/+1
As part of the security bug-fix releases v2.39.4, ..., v2.45.1, I introduced logic to safeguard `git clone` from running hooks that were installed _during_ the clone operation. The rationale was that Git's CVE-2024-32002, CVE-2021-21300, CVE-2019-1354, CVE-2019-1353, CVE-2019-1352, and CVE-2019-1349 should have been low-severity vulnerabilities but were elevated to critical/high severity by the attack vector that allows a weakness where files inside `.git/` can be inadvertently written during a `git clone` to escalate to a Remote Code Execution attack by virtue of installing a malicious `post-checkout` hook that Git will then run at the end of the operation without giving the user a chance to see what code is executed. Unfortunately, Git LFS uses a similar strategy to install its own `post-checkout` hook during a `git clone`; In fact, Git LFS is installing four separate hooks while running the `smudge` filter. While this pattern is probably in want of being improved by introducing better support in Git for Git LFS and other tools wishing to register hooks to be run at various stages of Git's commands, let's undo the clone protections to unbreak Git LFS-enabled clones. This reverts commit 8db1e8743c0 (clone: prevent hooks from running during a clone, 2024-03-28).

2024-05-21tests: verify that `clone -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null` works againJohannes Schindelin1-0/+7
As part of the protections added in Git v2.45.1 and friends, repository-local `core.hooksPath` settings are no longer allowed, as a defense-in-depth mechanism to prevent future Git vulnerabilities to raise to critical level if those vulnerabilities inadvertently allow the repository-local config to be written. What the added protection did not anticipate is that such a repository-local `core.hooksPath` can not only be used to point to maliciously-placed scripts in the current worktree, but also to _prevent_ hooks from being called altogether. We just reverted the `core.hooksPath` protections, based on the Git maintainer's recommendation in https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq4jaxvm8z.fsf@gitster.g/ to address this concern as well as related ones. Let's make sure that we won't regress while trying to protect the clone operation further.

2024-05-21Revert "core.hooksPath: add some protection while cloning"Johannes Schindelin2-27/+1
This defense-in-depth was intended to protect the clone operation against future escalations where bugs in `git clone` would allow attackers to write arbitrary files in the `.git/` directory would allow for Remote Code Execution attacks via maliciously-placed hooks. However, it turns out that the `core.hooksPath` protection has unintentional side effects so severe that they do not justify the benefit of the protections. For example, it has been reported in https://lore.kernel.org/git/FAFA34CB-9732-4A0A-87FB-BDB272E6AEE8@alchemists.io/ that the following invocation, which is intended to make `git clone` safer, is itself broken by that protective measure: git clone --config core.hooksPath=/dev/null <url> Since it turns out that the benefit does not justify the cost, let's revert 20f3588efc6 (core.hooksPath: add some protection while cloning, 2024-03-30).

In df93e407f06 (init: refactor the template directory discovery into its own function, 2024-03-29), I refactored the way the templates directory is discovered. The refactoring was faithful, but missed a reference in the `Makefile` where the `DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR` constant is defined. As a consequence, Git v2.45.1 and friends will always use the hard-coded path `/usr/share/git-core/templates`. Let's fix that by defining the `DEFAULT_GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR` when building `setup.o`, where that constant is actually used.

2024-05-21ci: stop installing "gcc-13" for osx-gccJeff King1-1/+0
Our osx-gcc job explicitly asks to install gcc-13. But since the GitHub runner image already comes with gcc-13 installed, this is mostly doing nothing (or in some cases it may install an incremental update over the runner image). But worse, it recently started causing errors like: ==> Fetching gcc@13 ==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/gcc/13/blobs/sha256:fb2403d97e2ce67eb441b54557cfb61980830f3ba26d4c5a1fe5ecd0c9730d1a ==> Pouring gcc@13--13.2.0.ventura.bottle.tar.gz Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local Could not symlink bin/c++-13 Target /usr/local/bin/c++-13 is a symlink belonging to gcc. You can unlink it: brew unlink gcc which cause the whole CI job to bail. I didn't track down the root cause, but I suspect it may be related to homebrew recently switching the "gcc" default to gcc-14. And it may even be fixed when a new runner image is released.

2024-05-21ci: avoid bare "gcc" for osx-gcc jobJeff King1-1/+1
On macOS, a bare "gcc" (without a version) will invoke a wrapper for clang, not actual gcc. Even when gcc is installed via homebrew, that only provides version-specific links in /usr/local/bin (like "gcc-13"), and never a version-agnostic "gcc" wrapper. As far as I can tell, this has been the case for a long time, and this osx-gcc job has largely been doing nothing. We can point it at "gcc-13", which will pick up the homebrew-installed version. The fix here is specific to the github workflow file, as the gitlab one does not have a matching job. It's a little unfortunate that we cannot just ask for the latest version of gcc which homebrew provides, but as far as I can tell there is no easy alias (you'd have to find the highest number gcc-* in /usr/local/bin yourself).

2024-05-21send-email: avoid creating more than one Term::ReadLine objectJeff King2-7/+16
Every time git-send-email calls its ask() function to prompt the user, we call term(), which instantiates a new Term::ReadLine object. But in v1.46 of Term::ReadLine::Gnu (which provides the Term::ReadLine interface on some platforms), its constructor refuses to create a second instance[1]. So on systems with that version of the module, most git-send-email instances will fail (as we usually prompt for both "to" and "in-reply-to" unless the user provided them on the command line). We can fix this by keeping a single instance variable and returning it for each call to term(). In perl 5.10 and up, we could do that with a "state" variable. But since we only require 5.008, we'll do it the old-fashioned way, with a lexical "my" in its own scope. Note that the tests in t9001 detect this problem as-is, since the failure mode is for the program to die. But let's also beef up the "Prompting works" test to check that it correctly handles multiple inputs (if we had chosen to keep our FakeTerm hack in the previous commit, then the failure mode would be incorrectly ignoring prompts after the first).

2024-05-21send-email: drop FakeTerm hackJeff King1-20/+2
Back in 280242d1cc (send-email: do not barf when Term::ReadLine does not like your terminal, 2006-07-02), we added a fallback for when Term::ReadLine's constructor failed: we'd have a FakeTerm object instead, which would then die if anybody actually tried to call readline() on it. Since we instantiated the $term variable at program startup, we needed this workaround to let the program run in modes when we did not prompt the user. But later, in f4dc9432fd (send-email: lazily load modules for a big speedup, 2021-05-28), we started loading Term::ReadLine lazily only when ask() is called. So at that point we know we're trying to prompt the user, and we can just die if ReadLine instantiation fails, rather than making this fake object to lazily delay showing the error. This should be OK even if there is no tty (e.g., we're in a cron job), because Term::ReadLine will return a stub object in that case whose "IN" and "OUT" functions return undef. And since 5906f54e47 (send-email: don't attempt to prompt if tty is closed, 2009-03-31), we check for that case and skip prompting. And we can be sure that FakeTerm was not kicking in for such a situation, because it has actually been broken since that commit! It does not define "IN" or "OUT" methods, so perl would barf with an error. If FakeTerm was in use, we were neither honoring what 5906f54e47 tried to do, nor producing the readable message that 280242d1cc intended. So we're better off just dropping FakeTerm entirely, and letting the error reported by constructing Term::ReadLine through.

2024-05-21apply: fix uninitialized hash functionJunio C Hamano2-1/+11
"git apply" can work outside a repository as a better "GNU patch", but when it does so, it still assumed that it can access the_hash_algo, which is no longer true in the new world order. Make sure we explicitly fall back to SHA-1 algorithm for backward compatibility. It is of dubious value to make this configurable to other hash algorithms, as the code does not use the_hash_algo for hashing purposes when working outside a repository (which is how the_hash_algo is left to NULL)---it is only used to learn the max length of the hash when parsing the object names on the "index" line, but failing to parse the "index" line is not a hard failure, and the program does not support operations like applying binary patches and --3way fallback that requires object access outside a repository.

The git-hash-object(1) command allows users to hash an object even without a repository. Starting with c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash, 2024-05-07), this will make us hit an uninitialized hash function, which subsequently leads to a segfault. Fix this by falling back to SHA-1 explicitly when running outside of a Git repository.

In c8aed5e8da (repository: stop setting SHA1 as the default object hash, 2024-05-07), we have adapted `initialize_repository()` to no longer set up a default hash function. As this function is also used to set up `the_repository`, the consequence is that `the_hash_algo` will now by default be a `NULL` pointer unless the hash algorithm was configured properly. This is done as a mechanism to detect cases where we may be using the wrong hash function by accident. This change now causes git-patch-id(1) to segfault when it's run outside of a repository. As this command can read diffs from stdin, it does not necessarily need a repository, but then relies on `the_hash_algo` to compute the patch ID itself. It is somewhat dubious that git-patch-id(1) relies on `the_hash_algo` in the first place. Quoting its manpage: A "patch ID" is nothing but a sum of SHA-1 of the file diffs associated with a patch, with line numbers ignored. As such, it’s "reasonably stable", but at the same time also reasonably unique, i.e., two patches that have the same "patch ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same thing. We explicitly document patch IDs to be using SHA-1. Furthermore, patch IDs are supposed to be stable for most of the part. But even with the same input, the patch IDs will now be different depending on the repo's configured object hash. Work around the issue by setting up SHA-1 when there was no startup repository for now. This is arguably not the correct fix, but for now we rather want to focus on getting the segfault fixed.

2024-05-20t/: port helper/test-strcmp-offset.c to unit-tests/t-strcmp-offset.cGhanshyam Thakkar6-48/+36
In the recent codebase update (8bf6fbd (Merge branch 'js/doc-unit-tests', 2023-12-09)), a new unit testing framework was merged, providing a standardized approach for testing C code. Prior to this update, some unit tests relied on the test helper mechanism, lacking a dedicated unit testing framework. It's more natural to perform these unit tests using the new unit test framework. Let's migrate the unit tests for strcmp-offset functionality from the legacy approach using the test-tool command `test-tool strcmp-offset` in helper/test-strcmp-offset.c to the new unit testing framework (t/unit-tests/test-lib.h).

2024-05-20chainlint.pl: make CPU count computation more robustEric Sunshine1-3/+14
There have been reports[1,2] of chainlint.pl failing to produce output when output is expected. In fact, the underlying problem is more severe: in these cases, it isn't doing any work at all, thus not checking Git tests for semantic problems. In the reported cases, the problem was tracked down to ncores() returning 0 for the CPU count, which resulted in chainlint.pl not performing any work (since it thought it had no cores on which to process). In the reported cases, the reason for the failure was that the regular expression counting the number of processors reported by /proc/cpuinfo failed to find any matches, hence it counted 0 processors. Although fixing each case as it is reported allows chaining.pl to work correctly on that architecture, it does nothing to improve the overall robustness of the core count computation which may still return 0 on some yet untested architecture. Address this shortcoming by ensuring that ncores() returns a sensible fallback value in all cases.

2024-05-17doc: describe the project's decision-making processJosh Steadmon2-0/+75
The Git project currently operates according to an informal consensus-building process, which is currently described in the SubmittingPatches document. However, that focuses on small/medium-scale patch series. For larger-scale decisions, the process is not as well described. Document what to expect so that we have something concrete to help inform newcomers to the project. This document explicitly does not aim to impose a formal process to decision-making, nor to change pre-existing norms. Its only aim is to describe how the project currently operates today.

2024-05-17diff: document what --name-only showsJunio C Hamano1-2/+3
The "--name-only" option is about showing the name of each file in the post-image tree that got changed and nothing else (like "was it created?"). Unlike the "--name-status" option that tells how the change happened (e.g., renamed with similarity), it does not give anything else, like the name of the corresponding file in the old tree. For example, if you start from a clean checkout that has a file whose name is COPYING, here is what you would see: $ git mv COPYING RENAMING $ git diff -M --name-only HEAD RENAMING $ git diff -M --name-status HEAD R100 COPYING RENAMING Lack of the description of this fact has confused readers in the past. Even back when dda2d79a ([PATCH] Clean up diff option descriptions., 2005-07-13) documented "--name-only", "git diff" already supported the renames, so in a sense, from day one, this should have been documented more clearly but it wasn't. Belatedly clarify it. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
