8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level
directory, 2022-03-02), adds a function to check for ownership of
repositories using a directory that is representative of it, and ways to
add exempt a specific repository from said check if needed, but that
check didn't account for owership of the gitdir, or (when used) the
gitfile that points to that gitdir.
An attacker could create a git repository in a directory that they can
write into but that is owned by the victim to work around the fix that
was introduced with CVE-2022-24765 to potentially run code as the
victim.
An example that could result in privilege escalation to root in *NIX would
be to set a repository in a shared tmp directory by doing (for example):
$ git -C /tmp init
To avoid that, extend the ensure_valid_ownership function to be able to
check for all three paths.
This will have the side effect of tripling the number of stat() calls
when a repository is detected, but the effect is expected to be likely
minimal, as it is done only once during the directory walk in which Git
looks for a repository.
Additionally make sure to resolve the gitfile (if one was used) to find
the relevant gitdir for checking.
While at it change the message printed on failure so it is clear we are
referring to the repository by its worktree (or gitdir if it is bare) and
not to a specific directory.

With the addition of the safe.directory in 8959555ce
(setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory,
2022-03-02) released in v2.35.2, we are receiving feedback from a
variety of users about the feature.
Some users have a very large list of shared repositories and find it
cumbersome to add this config for every one of them.
In a more difficult case, certain workflows involve running Git commands
within containers. The container boundary prevents any global or system
config from communicating `safe.directory` values from the host into the
container. Further, the container almost always runs as a different user
than the owner of the directory in the host.
To simplify the reactions necessary for these users, extend the
definition of the safe.directory config value to include a possible '*'
value. This value implies that all directories are safe, providing a
single setting to opt-out of this protection.
Note that an empty assignment of safe.directory clears all previous
values, and this is already the case with the "if (!value || !*value)"
condition.

It poses a security risk to search for a git directory outside of the
directories owned by the current user.
For example, it is common e.g. in computer pools of educational
institutes to have a "scratch" space: a mounted disk with plenty of
space that is regularly swiped where any authenticated user can create
a directory to do their work. Merely navigating to such a space with a
Git-enabled `PS1` when there is a maliciously-crafted `/scratch/.git/`
can lead to a compromised account.
The same holds true in multi-user setups running Windows, as `C:\` is
writable to every authenticated user by default.
To plug this vulnerability, we stop Git from accepting top-level
directories owned by someone other than the current user. We avoid
looking at the ownership of each and every directories between the
current and the top-level one (if there are any between) to avoid
introducing a performance bottleneck.
This new default behavior is obviously incompatible with the concept of
shared repositories, where we expect the top-level directory to be owned
by only one of its legitimate users. To re-enable that use case, we add
support for adding exceptions from the new default behavior via the
config setting `safe.directory`.
The `safe.directory` config setting is only respected in the system and
global configs, not from repository configs or via the command-line, and
can have multiple values to allow for multiple shared repositories.
We are particularly careful to provide a helpful message to any user
trying to use a shared repository.

In 2.28-rc0, we corrected a bug that some repository extensions are
honored by mistake even in a version 0 repositories (these
configuration variables in extensions.* namespace were supposed to
have special meaning in repositories whose version numbers are 1 or
higher), but this was a bit too big a change.
* jn/v0-with-extensions-fix:
repository: allow repository format upgrade with extensions
Revert "check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old repositories"
We made the mistake in the past of respecting extensions.* even when the
repository format version was set to 0. This is bad because forgetting
to bump the repository version means that older versions of Git (which
do not know about our extensions) won't complain. I.e., it's not a
problem in itself, but it means your repository is in a state which does
not give you the protection you think you're getting from older
versions.
For compatibility reasons, we are stuck with that decision for existing
extensions. However, we'd prefer not to extend the damage further. We
can do that by catching any newly-added extensions and complaining about
the repository format.
Note that this is a pretty heavy hammer: we'll refuse to work with the
repository at all. A lesser option would be to ignore (possibly with a
warning) any new extensions. But because of the way the extensions are
handled, that puts the burden on each new extension that is added to
remember to "undo" itself (because they are handled before we know
for sure whether we are in a v1 repo or not, since we don't insist on a
particular ordering of config entries).
So one option would be to rewrite that handling to record any new
extensions (and their values) during the config parse, and then only
after proceed to handle new ones only if we're in a v1 repository. But
I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble:
- ignoring extensions is likely to end up with broken results anyway
(e.g., ignoring a proposed objectformat extension means parsing any
object data is likely to encounter errors)
- this is a sign that whatever tool wrote the extension field is
broken. We may be better off notifying immediately and forcefully so
that such tools don't even appear to work accidentally.
The only downside is that fixing the situation is a little tricky,
because programs like "git config" won't want to work with the
repository. But:
git config --file=.git/config core.repositoryformatversion 1
should still suffice.

Now that we officially permit repository extensions in repository
format v0, permit upgrading a repository with extensions from v0 to v1
as well.
For example, this means a repository where the user has set
"extensions.preciousObjects" can use "git fetch --filter=blob:none
origin" to upgrade the repository to use v1 and the partial clone
extension.
To avoid mistakes, continue to forbid repository format upgrades in v0
repositories with an unrecognized extension. This way, a v0 user
using a misspelled extension field gets a chance to correct the
mistake before updating to the less forgiving v1 format.
While we're here, make the error message for failure to upgrade the
repository format a bit shorter, and present it as an error, not a
warning.

This reverts commit 14c7fa269e.
The core.repositoryFormatVersion field was introduced in ab9cb76f66
(Repository format version check., 2005-11-25), providing a welcome
bit of forward compatibility, thanks to some welcome analysis by
Martin Atukunda. The semantics are simple: a repository with
core.repositoryFormatVersion set to 0 should be comprehensible by all
Git implementations in active use; and Git implementations should
error out early instead of trying to act on Git repositories with
higher core.repositoryFormatVersion values representing new formats
that they do not understand.
A new repository format did not need to be defined until 00a09d57eb
(introduce "extensions" form of core.repositoryformatversion,
2015-06-23). This provided a finer-grained extension mechanism for
Git repositories. In a repository with core.repositoryFormatVersion
set to 1, Git implementations can act on "extensions.*" settings that
modify how a repository is interpreted. In repository format version
1, unrecognized extensions settings cause Git to error out.
What happens if a user sets an extension setting but forgets to
increase the repository format version to 1? The extension settings
were still recognized in that case; worse, unrecognized extensions
settings do *not* cause Git to error out. So combining repository
format version 0 with extensions settings produces in some sense the
worst of both worlds.
To improve that situation, since 14c7fa269e
(check_repository_format_gently(): refuse extensions for old
repositories, 2020-06-05) Git instead ignores extensions in v0 mode.
This way, v0 repositories get the historical (pre-2015) behavior and
maintain compatibility with Git implementations that do not know about
the v1 format. Unfortunately, users had been using this sort of
configuration and this behavior change came to many as a surprise:
- users of "git config --worktree" that had followed its advice
to enable extensions.worktreeConfig (without also increasing the
repository format version) would find their worktree configuration
no longer taking effect
- tools such as copybara[*] that had set extensions.partialClone in
existing repositories (without also increasing the repository format
version) would find that setting no longer taking effect
The behavior introduced in 14c7fa269e might be a good behavior if we
were traveling back in time to 2015, but we're far too late. For some
reason I thought that it was what had been originally implemented and
that it had regressed. Apologies for not doing my research when
14c7fa269e was under development.
Let's return to the behavior we've had since 2015: always act on
extensions.* settings, regardless of repository format version. While
we're here, include some tests to describe the effect on the "upgrade
repository version" code path.

Commit 28fcc0b71a (pathspec: avoid the need of "--" when wildcard is
used, 2015-05-02) allowed:
git rev-parse '*.c'
without the double-dash. But the rule it uses to check for wildcards
actually looks for any glob special. This is overly liberal, as it means
that a pattern that doesn't actually do any wildcard matching, like
"a\b", will be considered a pathspec.
If you do have such a file on disk, that's presumably what you wanted.
But if you don't, the results are confusing: rather than say "there's no
such path a\b", we'll quietly accept it as a pathspec which very likely
matches nothing (or at least not what you intended). Likewise, looking
for path "a\*b" doesn't expand the search at all; it would only find a
single entry, "a*b".
This commit switches the rule to trigger only when glob metacharacters
would expand the search, meaning both of those cases will now report an
error (you can still disambiguate using "--", of course; we're just
tightening the DWIM heuristic).
Note that we didn't test the original feature in 28fcc0b71a at all. So
this patch not only tests for these corner cases, but also adds a
regression test for the existing behavior.

setup_git_directory(): handle UNC root paths correctly
Fix .git/ discovery at the root of UNC shares
setup_git_directory(): handle UNC paths correctly
When working in the root directory of a file share (this is only
possible in Git Bash and Powershell, but not in CMD), the current
directory is reported without a trailing slash.
This is different from Unix and standard Windows directories: both / and
C:\ are reported with a trailing slash as current directories.
If a Git worktree is located there, Git is not quite prepared for that:
while it does manage to find the .git directory/file, it returns as
length of the top-level directory's path *one more* than the length of
the current directory, and setup_git_directory_gently() would then
return an undefined string as prefix.
In practice, this undefined string usually points to NUL bytes, and does
not cause much harm. Under rare circumstances that are really involved
to reproduce (and not reliably so), the reported prefix could be a
suffix string of Git's exec path, though.
A careful analysis determined that this bug is unlikely to be
exploitable, therefore we mark this as a regular bug fix.

A very common assumption in Git's source code base is that
offset_1st_component() returns either 0 for relative paths, or 1 for
absolute paths that start with a slash. In other words, the return value
is either 0 or points just after the dir separator.
This assumption is not fulfilled when calling offset_1st_component()
e.g. on UNC paths on Windows, e.g. "//my-server/my-share". In this case,
offset_1st_component() returns the length of the entire string (which is
correct, because stripping the last "component" would not result in a
valid directory), yet the return value still does not point just after a
dir separator.
This assumption is most prominently seen in the
setup_git_directory_gently_1() function, where we want to append a
".git" component and simply assume that there is already a dir
separator. In the UNC example given above, this assumption is incorrect.
As a consequence, Git will fail to handle a worktree at the top of a UNC
share correctly.
Let's fix this by adding a dir separator specifically for that case: we
found that there is no first component in the path and it does not end
in a dir separator? Then add it.

The setup code has been cleaned up to avoid leaks around the
repository_format structure.
* ma/clear-repository-format:
setup: fix memory leaks with `struct repository_format`
setup: free old value before setting `work_tree`
After we set up a `struct repository_format`, it owns various pieces of
allocated memory. We then either use those members, because we decide we
want to use the "candidate" repository format, or we discard the
candidate / scratch space. In the first case, we transfer ownership of
the memory to a few global variables. In the latter case, we just
silently drop the struct and end up leaking memory.
Introduce an initialization macro `REPOSITORY_FORMAT_INIT` and a
function `clear_repository_format()`, to be used on each side of
`read_repository_format()`. To have a clear and simple memory ownership,
let all users of `struct repository_format` duplicate the strings that
they take from it, rather than stealing the pointers.
Call `clear_...()` at the start of `read_...()` instead of just zeroing
the struct, since we sometimes enter the function multiple times. Thus,
it is important to initialize the struct before calling `read_...()`, so
document that. It's also important because we might not even call
`read_...()` before we call `clear_...()`, see, e.g., builtin/init-db.c.
Teach `read_...()` to clear the struct on error, so that it is reset to
a safe state, and document this. (In `setup_git_directory_gently()`, we
look at `repo_fmt.hash_algo` even if `repo_fmt.version` is -1, which we
weren't actually supposed to do per the API. After this commit, that's
ok.)
We inherit the existing code's combining "error" and "no version found".
Both are signalled through `version == -1` and now both cause us to
clear any partial configuration we have picked up. For "extensions.*",
that's fine, since they require a positive version number. For
"core.bare" and "core.worktree", we're already verifying that we have a
non-negative version number before using them.

setup_git_directory_gently() expects two types of failures to
discover a git directory (e.g. .git/):
- GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING: could not find a git directory in any
parent directories of the cwd.
- GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT: could not find a git directory in
any parent directories up to the mount point of the cwd.
Both cases are handled in a similar way, but there are misleading
and unimportant differences. In both cases, setup_git_directory_gently()
should:
- Die if we are not in a git repository. Otherwise:
- Set nongit_ok = 1, indicating that we are not in a git repository
but this is ok.
- Call strbuf_release() on any non-static struct strbufs that we
allocated.
Before this change are two misleading additional behaviors:
- GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING: setup_nongit() changes to the cwd for no
apparent reason. We never had the chance to change directories
up to this point so chdir(current cwd) is pointless.
- GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT: strbuf_release() frees the buffer
of a static struct strbuf (cwd). This is unnecessary because the
struct is static so its buffer is always reachable. This is also
misleading because nowhere else in the function is this buffer
released.
This change eliminates these two misleading additional behaviors and
deletes setup_nogit() because the code is clearer without it. The
result is that we can see clearly that GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING and
GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT lead to the same behavior (ignoring the
different help messages).
During review, this change was amended to additionally include:
- Neither GIT_DIR_HIT_CEILING nor GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT may
return early from setup_git_directory_gently() before the
GIT_PREFIX environment variable is reset. Change both cases to
break instead of return. See GIT_PREFIX below for more details.
- GIT_DIR_NONE: setup_git_directory_gently_1() never returns this
value, but if it ever did, setup_git_directory_gently() would
incorrectly record that it had found a repository. Explicitly
BUG on this case because it is underspecified.
- GIT_PREFIX: this environment variable must always match the
value of startup_info->prefix and the prefix returned from
setup_git_directory_gently(). Make how we handle this slightly
more repetitive but also more clear.
- setup_git_env() and repo_set_hash_algo(): Add comments showing
that only GIT_DIR_EXPLICIT, GIT_DIR_DISCOVERED, and GIT_DIR_BARE
will cause setup_git_directory_gently() to call these setup
functions. This was obvious (but partly incorrect) before this
change when GIT_DIR_HIT_MOUNT_POINT returned early from
setup_git_directory_gently().

A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present:
- Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple
worktree setup.
- The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay
effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are
supposed to be in config.worktree.
This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you
now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either
.git/config.worktree for main worktree, or
.git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones).
This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's
pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked
worktrees and move back to single worktree).
"git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default
(i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is
present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A
new option --worktree is added for that (*).
Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should
refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So
they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree
part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if
they use with "git config --file <path>".
This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config
variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be
default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are
isolated.
(*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this
extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it
works in any both single and multiple worktree setups.

In d8193743e0 (usage.c: add BUG() function, 2017-05-12), a new macro
was introduced to use for reporting bugs instead of die(). It was then
subsequently used to convert one single caller in 588a538ae5
(setup_git_env: convert die("BUG") to BUG(), 2017-05-12).
The cover letter of the patch series containing this patch
(cf 20170513032414.mfrwabt4hovujde2@sigill.intra.peff.net) is not
terribly clear why only one call site was converted, or what the plan
is for other, similar calls to die() to report bugs.
Let's just convert all remaining ones in one fell swoop.
This trick was performed by this invocation:
sed -i 's/die("BUG: /BUG("/g' $(git grep -l 'die("BUG' \*.c)

Some codepaths, including the refs API, get and keep relative
paths, that go out of sync when the process does chdir(2). The
chdir-notify API is introduced to let these codepaths adjust these
cached paths to the new current directory.
* jk/relative-directory-fix:
refs: use chdir_notify to update cached relative paths
set_work_tree: use chdir_notify
add chdir-notify API
trace.c: export trace_setup_key
set_git_dir: die when setenv() fails
Code clean-up for the "repository" abstraction.
* nd/remove-ignore-env-field:
repository.h: add comment and clarify repo_set_gitdir
repository: delete ignore_env member
sha1_file.c: move delayed getenv(altdb) back to setup_git_env()
repository.c: delete dead functions
repository.c: move env-related setup code back to environment.c
repository: initialize the_repository in main()
When we change to the top of the working tree, we manually
re-adjust $GIT_DIR and call set_git_dir() again, in order to
update any relative git-dir we'd compute earlier.
Instead of the work-tree code having to know to call the
git-dir code, let's use the new chdir_notify interface.
There are two spots that need updating, with a few
subtleties in each:
1. the set_git_dir() code needs to chdir_notify_register()
so it can be told when to update its path.
Technically we could push this down into repo_set_gitdir(),
so that even repository structs besides the_repository
could benefit from this. But that opens up a lot of
complications:
- we'd still need to touch set_git_dir(), because it
does some other setup (like setting $GIT_DIR in the
environment)
- submodules using other repository structs get
cleaned up, which means we'd need to remove them
from the chdir_notify list
- it's unlikely to fix any bugs, since we shouldn't
generally chdir() in the middle of working on a
submodule
2. setup_work_tree now needs to call chdir_notify(), and
can lose its manual set_git_dir() call.
Note that at first glance it looks like this undoes the
absolute-to-relative optimization added by 044bbbcb63
(Make git_dir a path relative to work_tree in
setup_work_tree(), 2008-06-19). But for the most part
that optimization was just _undoing_ the
relative-to-absolute conversion which the function was
doing earlier (and which is now gone).
It is true that if you already have an absolute git_dir
that the setup_work_tree() function will no longer make
it relative as a side effect. But:
- we generally do have relative git-dir's due to the
way the discovery code works
- if we really care about making git-dir's relative
when possible, then we should be relativizing them
earlier (e.g., when we see an absolute $GIT_DIR we
could turn it relative, whether we are going to
chdir into a worktree or not). That would cover all
cases, including ones that 044bbbcb63 did not.

It does not make sense that generic repository code contains handling
of environment variables, which are specific for the main repository
only. Refactor repo_set_gitdir() function to take $GIT_DIR and
optionally _all_ other customizable paths. These optional paths can be
NULL and will be calculated according to the default directory layout.
Note that some dead functions are left behind to reduce diff
noise. They will be deleted in the next patch.

In preparation for implementing narrow/partial clone, the machinery
for checking object connectivity used by gc and fsck has been
taught that a missing object is OK when it is referenced by a
packfile specially marked as coming from trusted repository that
promises to make them available on-demand and lazily.
* jh/fsck-promisors:
gc: do not repack promisor packfiles
rev-list: support termination at promisor objects
sha1_file: support lazily fetching missing objects
introduce fetch-object: fetch one promisor object
index-pack: refactor writing of .keep files
fsck: support promisor objects as CLI argument
fsck: support referenced promisor objects
fsck: support refs pointing to promisor objects
fsck: introduce partialclone extension
extension.partialclone: introduce partial clone extension

Since gitfiles were introduced in b44ebb19e (Add platform-independent
.git "symlink", 2008-02-20) the order of checks during .git directory
discovery is: gitfile, gitdir, bare repo. However, that commit did
only partially update the in-code comment describing this order,
missing the last line which still puts gitdir before gitfile.
