07d872434d Merge branch 'jt/accept-capability-advertisement-when-fetching-from-void'
JGit can show a fake ref "capabilities^{}" to "git fetch" when it
does not advertise any refs, but "git fetch" was not prepared to
see such an advertisement.  When the other side disconnects without
giving any ref advertisement, we used to say "there may not be a
repository at that URL", but we may have seen other advertisement
like "shallow" and ".have" in which case we definitely know that a
repository is there.  The code to detect this case has also been
updated.

eb398797cd connect: advertized capability is not a ref
When cloning an empty repository served by standard git, "git clone" produces
the following reassuring message:

	$ git clone git://localhost/tmp/empty
	Cloning into 'empty'...
	warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
	Checking connectivity... done.

Meanwhile when cloning an empty repository served by JGit, the output is more
haphazard:

	$ git clone git://localhost/tmp/empty
	Cloning into 'empty'...
	Checking connectivity... done.
	warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

This is a common command to run immediately after creating a remote repository
as preparation for adding content to populate it and pushing. The warning is
confusing and needlessly worrying.

The cause is that, since v3.1.0.201309270735-rc1~22 (Advertise capabilities
with no refs in upload service., 2013-08-08), JGit's ref advertisement includes
a ref named capabilities^{} to advertise its capabilities on, while git's ref
advertisement is empty in this case. This allows the client to learn about the
server's capabilities and is needed, for example, for fetch-by-sha1 to work
when no refs are advertised.

This also affects "ls-remote". For example, against an empty repository served
by JGit:

	$ git ls-remote git://localhost/tmp/empty
	0000000000000000000000000000000000000000        capabilities^{}

Git advertises the same capabilities^{} ref in its ref advertisement for push
but since it never did so for fetch, the client didn't need to handle this
case.  Handle it.

55e4f9365a connect: tighten check for unexpected early hang up
A server hanging up immediately to mark access being denied does not
send any .have refs, shallow lines, or anything else before hanging
up.  If the server has sent anything, then the hangup is unexpected.

That is, if the server hangs up after a shallow line but before sending
any refs, then git should tell me so:

	fatal: The remote end hung up upon initial contact

instead of suggesting an access control problem:

	fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
	Please make sure you have the correct access rights
	and the repository exists.

Noticed while examining this code.  This case isn't likely to come up
in practice but tightening the check makes the code easier to read and
manipulate.

c915f11eb4 connect & http: support -4 and -6 switches for remote operations
Sometimes it is necessary to force IPv4-only or IPv6-only operation
on networks where name lookups may return a non-routable address and
stall remote operations.

The ssh(1) command has an equivalent switches which we may pass when
we run them.  There may be old ssh(1) implementations out there
which do not support these switches; they should report the
appropriate error in that case.

rsync support is untouched for now since it is deprecated and

5096d4909f convert trivial sprintf / strcpy calls to xsnprintf
We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.

However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

a5adaced2e transport: add a protocol-whitelist environment variable
If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
order to get the complete view as intended by the other
side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
exposes them to the attacker).

Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).

We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
effect, it is the only sensible one).

A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
unable to test the file-local code on machines without
apache.

a48b409f9c git_connect: clarify conn->use_shell flag
When executing user-specified programs, we generally always
want to use a shell, for flexibility and consistency. One
big exception is executing $GIT_SSH, which for historical
reasons must not use a shell.

Once upon a time the logic in git_connect looked like:

  if (protocol == PROTO_SSH) {
	  ... setup ssh ...
  } else {
	  ... setup local connection ...
	  conn->use_shell = 1;
  }

But over time the PROTO_SSH block has grown, and the "local"
block has shrunk so that it contains only conn->use_shell;
it's easy to miss at the end of the large block.  Moreover,
PROTO_SSH now also sometimes sets use_shell, when the new
GIT_SSH_COMMAND is used.

Let's just set conn->use_shell when we're setting up the "conn"
struct, and unset it (with a comment) in the historical GIT_SSH
case.  This will make the flow easier to follow.

aab4043851 git_connect: clear GIT_* environment for ssh
When we "switch" to another local repository to run the server
side of a fetch or push, we must clear the variables in
local_repo_env so that our local $GIT_DIR, etc, do not
pollute the upload-pack or receive-pack that is executing in
the "remote" repository.

We have never done so for ssh connections. For the most
part, nobody has noticed because ssh will not pass unknown
environment variables by default. However, it is not out of
the question for a user to configure ssh to pass along GIT_*
variables using SendEnv/AcceptEnv.

We can demonstrate the problem by using "git -c" on a local
command and seeing its impact on a remote repository.  This
config ends up in $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS. In the local case,
the config has no impact, but in the ssh transport, it does
(our test script has a fake ssh that passes through all
environment variables; this isn't normal, but does simulate
one possible setup).

baaf233755 connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positives
The git_connect function has code to handle plink and tortoiseplink
specially, as they require different command line arguments from
OpenSSH (-P instead of -p for ports; tortoiseplink additionally requires
-batch).  However, the match was done by checking for "plink" anywhere
in the string, which led to a GIT_SSH value containing "uplink" being
treated as an invocation of putty's plink.

Improve the check by looking for "plink" or "tortoiseplink" (or those
names suffixed with ".exe") only in the final component of the path.
This has the downside that a program such as "plink-0.63" would no
longer be recognized, but the increased robustness is likely worth it.
Add tests to cover these cases to avoid regressions.

The ssh:// syntax was added in 2386d658 (Add first cut at "git
protocol" connect logic., 2005-07-13), it accepted
ssh://user@2001:db8::1/repo.git, which is now legacy.

Over the years the parser was improved to support [] and port numbers,
but the combination of ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git did
never work.

The only only way to use a user name, a literall IPV6 address and a port
number was ssh://[user@2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git

(Thanks to Christian Taube <lists@hcf.yourweb.de> for reporting this long
standing issue)

New users would use ssh://user@[2001:db8::1]:222/repo.git,
so change the parser to handle it correctly.

Support the old legacy URLs as well, to be backwards compatible,
and avoid regressions for users which upgrade an existing installation
to a later Git version.

94bc83c593 git_connect: let user override virtual-host we send to daemon
When we connect to a git-daemon at a given host and port, we
actually send the string "localhost:9418" to the other side,
which allows it to do virtual-hosting lookups. For testing
and debugging, we'd like to be able to send arbitrary
strings, rather than the hostname we actually connected to.

Using "insteadOf" config does not work for this purpose, as
the hostname determination happens at a very low level,
right before we feed the hostname to our lookup routines.
You could use /etc/hosts or similar to get around this, but
we cannot do that portably from our test suite.

Instead, this patch provides an environment variable that
can be used to send an arbitrary string.

39942766ab git_connect: set ssh shell command in GIT_SSH_COMMAND
It may be impractical to install a wrapper script for GIT_SSH
when additional parameters need to be passed. Provide an alternative
way of specifying a shell command to be run, including command line
arguments, by means of the GIT_SSH_COMMAND environment variable,
which behaves like GIT_SSH but is passed to the shell.

The special circuitry to modify parameters in the case of using
PuTTY's plink/tortoiseplink is activated only when using GIT_SSH;
in the case of using GIT_SSH_COMMAND, it is deliberately left up to
the user to make any required parameters adaptation before calling
the underlying ssh implementation.

be0b3f822b connect: simplify check_ref() using skip_prefix() and starts_with()
Both callers of check_ref() pass in NUL-terminated strings for name.
Remove the len parameter and then use skip_prefix() and starts_with()
instead of memcmp() to check if it starts with certain strings.  This
gets rid of several magic string length constants and a strlen() call.

d318027932 run-command: introduce CHILD_PROCESS_INIT
Most struct child_process variables are cleared using memset first after
declaration.  Provide a macro, CHILD_PROCESS_INIT, that can be used to
initialize them statically instead.  That's shorter, doesn't require a
function call and is slightly more readable (especially given that we
already have STRBUF_INIT, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT etc.).

5c0b13f85a use xmemdupz() to allocate copies of strings given by start and length
Use xmemdupz() to allocate the memory, copy the data and make sure to
NUL-terminate the result, all in one step.  The resulting code is
shorter, doesn't contain the constants 1 and '\0', and avoids
duplicating function parameters.

For blame, the last copied byte (o->file.ptr[o->file.size]) is always
set to NUL by fake_working_tree_commit() or read_sha1_file(), so no
information is lost by the conversion to using xmemdupz().

ae021d8791 use skip_prefix to avoid magic numbers
It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with a magic number, like:

  if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
	  foo += 3;

This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the
prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the
string changes.  We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic
numbers here.

Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter.
For example:

  if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) {
	  bar = arg + 6;
	  continue;
  }

could become:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar))
	  continue;

However, I have left it as:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = v;
	  continue;
  }

to visually match nearby cases which need to actually
process the string. Like:

  if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
	  bar = atoi(v);
	  continue;
  }

1823bea10f git_connect: use argv_array
This avoids magic numbers when we allocate fixed-size argv
arrays, and makes it more obvious that we are not
overflowing.

It is also the first step to fixing a memory leak. When
git_connect returns a child_process struct, the argv array
in the struct is dynamically allocated, but the individual
strings are not (they are either owned elsewhere, or are
freed). Later, in finish_connect, we free the array but
leave the strings alone.

This works for the child_process created by git_connect, but
if we use transport_take_over, we may also end up with a
child_process created by transport-helper's get_helper.
In that case, the strings are freshly allocated, and we
would want to free them.  However, we have no idea in
finish_connect which type we have.

By consistently using run-command's internal argv-array, we
do not have to worry about this issue at all; finish_command
takes care of it for us, and we can drop our manual free
entirely.

Note that this actually makes the get_helper leak slightly
worse; now we are leaking both the strings and the array.
But when we adjust it in a future patch, that leak will go
away entirely.
