c41a87dd80 refs: make rev-parse --quiet actually quiet
When a reflog is deleted, e.g. when "git stash" clears its stashes,
"git rev-parse --verify --quiet" dies:

	fatal: Log for refs/stash is empty.

The reason is that the get_sha1() code path does not allow us
to suppress this message.

Pass the flags bitfield through get_sha1_with_context() so that
read_ref_at() can suppress the message.

Use get_sha1_with_context1() instead of get_sha1() in rev-parse
so that the --quiet flag is honored.

7559a1be8a unblock and unignore SIGPIPE
Blocked and ignored signals -- but not caught signals -- are inherited
across exec.  Some callers with sloppy signal-handling behavior can call
git with SIGPIPE blocked or ignored, even non-deterministically.  When
SIGPIPE is blocked or ignored, several git commands can run indefinitely,
ignoring EPIPE returns from write() calls, even when the process that
called them has gone away.  Our specific case involved a pipe of git
diff-tree output to a script that reads a limited amount of diff data.

In an ideal world, git would never be called with SIGPIPE blocked or
ignored.  But in the real world, several real potential callers, including
Perl, Apache, and Unicorn, sometimes spawn subprocesses with SIGPIPE
ignored.  It is easier and more productive to harden git against this
mistake than to clean it up in every potential parent process.

8376a70441 branch: clean up commit flags after merge-filter walk
When we run `branch --merged`, we use prepare_revision_walk
with the merge-filter marked as UNINTERESTING. Any branch
tips that are marked UNINTERESTING after it returns must be
ancestors of that commit. As we iterate through the list of
refs to show, we check item->commit->object.flags to see
whether it was marked.

This interacts badly with --verbose, which will do a
separate walk to find the ahead/behind information for each
branch. There are two bad things that can happen:

  1. The ahead/behind walk may get the wrong results,
     because it can see a bogus UNINTERESTING flag leftover
     from the merge-filter walk.

  2. We may omit some branches if their tips are involved in
     the ahead/behind traversal of a branch shown earlier.
     The ahead/behind walk carefully cleans up its commit
     flags, meaning it may also erase the UNINTERESTING
     flag that we expect to check later.

We can solve this by moving the merge-filter state for each
ref into its "struct ref_item" as soon as we finish the
merge-filter walk. That fixes (2). Then we are free to clear
the commit flags we used in the walk, fixing (1).

Note that we actually do away with the matches_merge_filter
helper entirely here, and inline it between the revision
walk and the flag-clearing. This ensures that nobody
accidentally calls it at the wrong time (it is only safe to
check in that instant between the setting and clearing of
the global flag).

3ac22f82ed add macro REALLOC_ARRAY
The macro ALLOC_GROW manages several aspects of dynamic memory
allocations for arrays: It performs overprovisioning in order to avoid
reallocations in future calls, updates the allocation size variable,
multiplies the item size and thus allows users to simply specify the
item count, performs the reallocation and updates the array pointer.

Sometimes this is too much.  Add the macro REALLOC_ARRAY, which only
takes care of the latter three points and allows users to specfiy the
number of items the array can store.  It can increase and also decrease
the size.  Using the macro avoid duplicating the variable name and
takes care of the item sizes automatically.

5732373daa signed push: allow stale nonce in stateless mode
When operating with the stateless RPC mode, we will receive a nonce
issued by another instance of us that advertised our capability and
refs some time ago.  Update the logic to check received nonce to
detect this case, compute how much time has passed since the nonce
was issued and report the status with a new environment variable
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP to the hooks.

GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS will report "SLOP" in such a case.  The
hooks are free to decide how large a slop it is willing to accept.

Strictly speaking, the "nonce" is not really a "nonce" anymore in
the stateless RPC mode, as it will happily take any "nonce" issued
by it (which is protected by HMAC and its secret key) as long as it
is fresh enough.  The degree of this security degradation, relative
to the native protocol, is about the same as the "we make sure that
the 'git push' decided to update our refs with new objects based on
the freshest observation of our refs by making sure the values they
claim the original value of the refs they ask us to update exactly
match the current state" security is loosened to accomodate the
stateless RPC mode in the existing code without this series, so
there is no need for those who are already using smart HTTP to push
to their repositories to be alarmed any more than they already are.

In addition, the server operator can set receive.certnonceslop
configuration variable to specify how stale a nonce can be (in
seconds).  When this variable is set, and if the nonce received in
the certificate that passes the HMAC check was less than that many
seconds old, hooks are given "OK" in GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS
(instead of "SLOP") and the received nonce value is given in
GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE, which makes it easier for a simple-minded
hook to check if the certificate we received is recent enough.

0ea47f9d33 signed push: teach smart-HTTP to pass "git push --signed" around
The "--signed" option received by "git push" is first passed to the
transport layer, which the native transport directly uses to notice
that a push certificate needs to be sent.  When the transport-helper
is involved, however, the option needs to be told to the helper with
set_helper_option(), and the helper needs to take necessary action.
For the smart-HTTP helper, the "necessary action" involves spawning
the "git send-pack" subprocess with the "--signed" option.

Once the above all gets wired in, the smart-HTTP transport now can
use the push certificate mechanism to authenticate its pushes.

Add a test that is modeled after tests for the native transport in
t5534-push-signed.sh to t5541-http-push-smart.sh.  Update the test
Apache configuration to pass GNUPGHOME environment variable through.
As PassEnv would trigger warnings for an environment variable that
is not set, export it from test-lib.sh set to a harmless value when
GnuPG is not being used in the tests.

Note that the added test is deliberately loose and does not check
the nonce in this step.  This is because the stateless RPC mode is
inevitably flaky and a nonce that comes back in the actual push
processing is one issued by a different process; if the two
interactions with the server crossed a second boundary, the nonces
will not match and such a check will fail.  A later patch in the
series will work around this shortcoming.

b89363e4a5 signed push: fortify against replay attacks
In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an
repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send
a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer
include it in the push certificate.  The receiving end uses an HMAC
hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time
stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to
be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate
the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge
a nonce that looks like it originated from it.

The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks
to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the
certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the
push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is
exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK"
if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so
that the hooks can more easily check.

ec7dbd145b receive-pack: allow hooks to ignore its standard input stream
The pre-receive and post-receive hooks were designed to be an
improvement over old style update and post-update hooks, which take
the update information on their command line and are limited by the
command line length limit.  The same information is fed from the
standard input to pre/post-receive hooks instead to lift this
limitation.  It has been mandatory for these new style hooks to
consume the update information fully from the standard input stream.
Otherwise, they would risk killing the receive-pack process via
SIGPIPE.

If a hook does not want to look at all the information, it is easy
to send its standard input to /dev/null (perhaps a niche use of hook
might need to know only the fact that a push was made, without
having to know what objects have been pushed to update which refs),
and this has already been done by existing hooks that are written
carefully.

However, because there is no good way to consistently fail hooks
that do not consume the input fully (a small push may result in a
short update record that may fit within the pipe buffer, to which
the receive-pack process may manage to write before the hook has a
chance to exit without reading anything, which will not result in a
death-by-SIGPIPE of receive-pack), it can lead to a hard to diagnose
"once in a blue moon" phantom failure.

Lift this "hooks must consume their input fully" mandate.  A mandate
that is not enforced strictly is not helping us to catch mistakes in
hooks.  If a hook has a good reason to decide the outcome of its
operation without reading the information we feed it, let it do so
as it pleases.

f5e3c0b9d0 credential-cache: close stderr in daemon process
If the stderr of "git credential-cache" is redirected to a
pipe, the reader on the other end of a pipe may be surprised
that the pipe remains open long after the process exits.
This happens because we may auto-spawn a daemon which is
long-lived, and which keeps stderr open.

We can solve this by redirecting the daemon's stderr to
/dev/null once we are ready to go into our event loop. We
would not want to do so before then, because we may want to
report errors about the setup (e.g., failure to establish
the listening socket).

This does mean that we will not report errors we encounter
for specific clients. That's acceptable, as such errors
should be rare (e.g., clients sending buggy requests).
However, we also provide an escape hatch: if you want to see
these later messages, you can provide the "--debug" option
to keep stderr open.

2da1f36671 mailinfo: make ">From" in-body header check more robust
Since commit 81c5cf7 (mailinfo: skip bogus UNIX From line inside
body, 2006-05-21), we have treated lines like ">From" in the body as
headers. This makes "git am" work for people who erroneously paste
the whole output from format-patch:

  From 12345abcd...fedcba543210 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
  From: them
  Subject: [PATCH] whatever

into their email body (assuming that an mbox writer then quotes
"From" as ">From", as otherwise we would actually mailsplit on the
in-body line).

However, this has false positives if somebody actually has a commit
body that starts with "From "; in this case we erroneously remove
the line entirely from the commit message. We can make this check
more robust by making sure the line actually looks like a real mbox
"From" line.

Inspect the line that begins with ">From " a more carefully to only
skip lines that match the expected pattern (note that the datestamp
part of the format-patch output is designed to be kept constant to
help those who write magic(5) entries).

9be89160e7 signed push: add "pushee" header to push certificate
Record the URL of the intended recipient for a push (after
anonymizing it if it has authentication material) on a new "pushee
URL" header.  Because the networking configuration (SSH-tunnels,
proxies, etc.) on the pushing user's side varies, the receiving
repository may not know the single canonical URL all the pushing
users would refer it as (besides, many sites allow pushing over
ssh://host/path and https://host/path protocols to the same
repository but with different local part of the path).  So this
value may not be reliably used for replay-attack prevention
purposes, but this will still serve as a human readable hint to
identify the repository the certificate refers to.

4adf569dea 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.

20a7558f31 send-pack: send feature request on push-cert packet
We would want to update the interim protocol so that we do not send
the usual update commands when the push certificate feature is in
use, as the same information is in the certificate.  Once that
happens, the push-cert packet may become the only protocol command,
but then there is no packet to put the feature request behind, like
we always did.

As we have prepared the receiving end that understands the push-cert
feature to accept the feature request on the first protocol packet
(other than "shallow ", which was an unfortunate historical mistake
that has to come before everything else), we can give the feature
request on the push-cert packet instead of the first update protocol
packet, in preparation for the next step to actually update to the
final protocol.

a85b377d04 push: the beginning of "git push --signed"
While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed
came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to
assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a
particular branch.  My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call
the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my
'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so
the signature on the object alone is insufficient.

The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to
place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my
authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later.

Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate"
(for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that
what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point
at what other object.  Think of it as a cryptographic protection for
ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an
orthogonal axis.

The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this:

 1. You push out your work with "git push --signed".

 2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual,
    together with what protocol extension the receiving end
    supports.  If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol
    extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails.

    Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is
    prepared in core:

	certificate version 0.1
	pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700

	7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master
	3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next

    The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we
    gain more experience.  The 'pusher' header records the name of
    the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable,
    falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the
    certificate generation.  After the header, a blank line follows,
    followed by a copy of the protocol message lines.

    Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of
    the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how
    the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref
    updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object
    name, the push certificate also protects against replaying).  It
    is expected that new command packet types other than the
    old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the
    same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in
    unsigned pushes.

    The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG,
    formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed,
    and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack).

    In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the
    sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in
    turn comes before it sends the pack data.

 3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate
    is written out as a blob.  The pre-receive hook can learn about
    the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable,
    which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make
    the decision to allow or reject this push.  Additionally, the
    post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be
    a good place to log all the received certificates for later
    audits.

Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual
command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter
when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead.
This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to
review (in other words, the series at this step should never be
released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an
interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one).
As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of
this step.

d7c67668fe gpg-interface: move parse_signature() to where it should be
Our signed-tag objects set the standard format used by Git to store
GPG-signed payload (i.e. the payload followed by its detached
signature) [*1*], and it made sense to have a helper to find the
boundary between the payload and its signature in tag.c back then.

Newer code added later to parse other kinds of objects that learned
to use the same format to store GPG-signed payload (e.g. signed
commits), however, kept using the helper from the same location.

Move it to gpg-interface; the helper is no longer about signed tag,
but it is how our code and data interact with GPG.

a50e7ca321 gpg-interface: move parse_gpg_output() to where it should be
Earlier, ffb6d7d5 (Move commit GPG signature verification to
commit.c, 2013-03-31) moved this helper that used to be in pretty.c
(i.e. the output code path) to commit.c for better reusability.

It was a good first step in the right direction, but still suffers
from a myopic view that commits will be the only thing we would ever
want to sign---we would actually want to be able to reuse it even
wider.

The function interprets what GPG said; gpg-interface is obviously a
better place.  Move it there.

c67072b90b send-pack: clarify that cmds_sent is a boolean
We use it to make sure that the feature request is sent only once on
the very first request packet (ignoring the "shallow " line, which
was an unfortunate mistake we cannot retroactively fix with existing
receive-pack already deployed in the field) and we set it to "true"
with cmds_sent++, not because we care about the actual number of
updates sent but because it is merely an idiomatic way.

Set it explicitly to one to clarify that the code that uses this
variable only cares about its zero-ness.

b783aa71c0 send-pack: refactor inspecting and resetting status and sending commands
The main loop over remote_refs list inspects the ref status
to see if we need to generate pack data (i.e. a delete-only push
does not need to send any additional data), resets it to "expecting
the status report" state, and formats the actual update commands
to be sent.

Split the former two out of the main loop, as it will become
conditional in later steps.

Besides, we should have code that does real thing here, before the
"Finally, tell the other end!" part ;-)
