Android's "repo" tool is a tool for managing a large codebase
consisting of multiple smaller repositories, similar to Git's
submodule feature. Starting with Git 94b8ae5a (ssh: introduce a
'simple' ssh variant, 2017-10-16), users noticed that it stopped
handling the port in ssh:// URLs.
The cause: when it encounters ssh:// URLs, repo pre-connects to the
server and sets GIT_SSH to a helper ".repo/repo/git_ssh" that reuses
that connection. Before 94b8ae5a, the helper was assumed to support
OpenSSH options for lack of a better guess and got passed a -p option
to set the port. After that patch, it uses the new default of a
simple helper that does not accept an option to set the port.
The next release of "repo" will set GIT_SSH_VARIANT to "ssh" to avoid
that. But users of old versions and of other similar GIT_SSH
implementations would not get the benefit of that fix.
So update the default to use OpenSSH options again, with a twist. As
observed in 94b8ae5a, we cannot assume that $GIT_SSH always handles
OpenSSH options: common helpers such as travis-ci's dpl[*] are
configured using GIT_SSH and do not accept OpenSSH options. So make
the default a new variant "auto", with the following behavior:
1. First, check for a recognized basename, like today.
2. If the basename is not recognized, check whether $GIT_SSH supports
OpenSSH options by running
$GIT_SSH -G <options> <host>
This returns status 0 and prints configuration in OpenSSH if it
recognizes all <options> and returns status 255 if it encounters
an unrecognized option. A wrapper script like
exec ssh -- "$@"
would fail with
ssh: Could not resolve hostname -g: Name or service not known
, correctly reflecting that it does not support OpenSSH options.
The command is run with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to
/dev/null so even a command that expects a terminal would exit
immediately.
3. Based on the result from step (2), behave like "ssh" (if it
succeeded) or "simple" (if it failed).
This way, the default ssh variant for unrecognized commands can handle
both the repo and dpl cases as intended.
This autodetection has been running on Google workstations since
2017-10-23 with no reported negative effects.

When using the 'ssh' transport, the '-o' option is used to specify an
environment variable which should be set on the remote end. This allows
git to send additional information when contacting the server,
requesting the use of a different protocol version via the
'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable like so: "-o SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL".
Unfortunately not all ssh variants support the sending of environment
variables to the remote end. To account for this, only use the '-o'
option for ssh variants which are OpenSSH compliant. This is done by
checking that the basename of the ssh command is 'ssh' or the ssh
variant is overridden to be 'ssh' (via the ssh.variant config).
Other options like '-p' and '-P', which are used to specify a specific
port to use, or '-4' and '-6', which are used to indicate that IPV4 or
IPV6 addresses should be used, may also not be supported by all ssh
variants.
Currently if an ssh command's basename wasn't 'plink' or
'tortoiseplink' git assumes that the command is an OpenSSH variant.
Since user configured ssh commands may not be OpenSSH compliant, tighten
this constraint and assume a variant of 'simple' if the basename of the
command doesn't match the variants known to git. The new ssh variant
'simple' will only have the host and command to execute ([username@]host
command) passed as parameters to the ssh command.
Update the Documentation to better reflect the command-line options sent
to ssh commands based on their variant.

Create protocol.{c,h} and provide functions which future servers and
clients can use to determine which protocol to use or is being used.
Also introduce the 'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable which will be
used to communicate a colon separated list of keys with optional values
to a server. Unknown keys and values must be tolerated. This mechanism
is used to communicate which version of the wire protocol a client would
like to use with a server.

The git-cvsserver script is old and largely unmaintained
these days. But git-shell allows untrusted users to run it
out of the box, significantly increasing its attack surface.
Let's drop it from git-shell's list of internal handlers so
that it cannot be run by default. This is not backwards
compatible. But given the age and development activity on
CVS-related parts of Git, this is likely to impact very few
users, while helping many more (i.e., anybody who runs
git-shell and had no intention of supporting CVS).
There's no configuration mechanism in git-shell for us to
add a boolean and flip it to "off". But there is a mechanism
for adding custom commands, and adding CVS support here is
fairly trivial. Let's document it to give guidance to
anybody who really is still running cvsserver.

The "tag.pager" configuration variable was useless for those who
actually create tag objects, as it interfered with the use of an
editor. A new mechanism has been introduced for commands to enable
pager depending on what operation is being carried out to fix this,
and then "git tag -l" is made to run pager by default.
If this works out OK, I think there are low-hanging fruits in
other commands like "git branch" that outputs long list in one mode
while taking input in another.
