Our implementation of helpers never use CRLF line endings, and they
do not depend on the ability to place a CR as payload at the end of
the line, so this is essentially a no-op for in-tree users. However,
this allows third-party implementation of helpers to give us their
line with CRLF line ending (they cannot expect us to feed CRLF to
them, though).

Now there is no direct caller to strbuf_getline(), we can demote it
to file-scope static that is private to strbuf.c and rename it to
strbuf_getdelim(). Rename strbuf_getline_crlf(), which is designed
to be the most "text friendly" variant, and allow it to take over
this simplest name, strbuf_getline(), so we can add more uses of it
without having to type _crlf over and over again in the coming
steps.

The strbuf_getline() interface allows a byte other than LF or NUL as
the line terminator, but this is only because I wrote these
codepaths anticipating that there might be a value other than NUL
and LF that could be useful when I introduced line_termination long
time ago. No useful caller that uses other value has emerged.
By now, it is clear that the interface is overly broad without a
good reason. Many codepaths have hardcoded preference to read
either LF terminated or NUL terminated records from their input, and
then call strbuf_getline() with LF or NUL as the third parameter.
This step introduces two thin wrappers around strbuf_getline(),
namely, strbuf_getline_lf() and strbuf_getline_nul(), and
mechanically rewrites these call sites to call either one of
them. The changes contained in this patch are:
* introduction of these two functions in strbuf.[ch]
* mechanical conversion of all callers to strbuf_getline() with
either '\n' or '\0' as the third parameter to instead call the
respective thin wrapper.
After this step, output from "git grep 'strbuf_getline('" would
become a lot smaller. An interim goal of this series is to make
this an empty set, so that we can have strbuf_getline_crlf() take
over the shorter name strbuf_getline().

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.

Currently, a remote helper is only told about the progress and verbosity

A typical remote helper will return a `list` of refs containing a symbolic
ref HEAD, pointing to, e.g. refs/heads/master. In the case of a clone, all
the refs are being requested through `fetch` or `import`, including the
symbolic ref.
While this works properly, in some cases of a fetch, like `git fetch url`
or `git fetch origin HEAD`, or any fetch command involving a symbolic ref
without also fetching the corresponding ref it points to, the fetch command
fails with:
fatal: bad object 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
error: <remote> did not send all necessary objects
(in the case the remote helper returned '?' values to the `list` command).
This is because there is only one ref given to fetch(), and it's not
further resolved to something at the end of fetch_with_import().
While this can be somehow handled in the remote helper itself, by adding
a refspec for the symbolic ref, and storing an explicit ref in a private
namespace, and then handling the `import` for that symbolic ref
specifically, very few existing remote helpers are actually doing that.
So, instead of requesting the exact list of wanted refs to remote helpers,
treat symbolic refs differently and request the ref they point to instead.
Then, resolve the symbolic refs values based on the pointed ref.
This assumes there is no more than one level of indirection (a symbolic
ref doesn't point to another symbolic ref).

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.

We detect the "import-marks" capability by looking for that
string, but _without_ a trailing space. Then we skip past it
using strlen("import-marks "), with a space. So if a remote
helper gives us exactly "import-marks", we will read past
the end-of-string by one character.
This is unlikely to be a problem in practice, because such
input is malformed in the first place, and because there is
a good chance that the string has an extra NUL terminator
one character after the original (because it formerly had a
newline in it that we parsed off).
We can fix it by using skip_prefix with "import-marks ",
with the space. The other form appears to be a typo from
a515ebe (transport-helper: implement marks location as
capability, 2011-07-16); "import-marks" has never existed
without an argument, and it should match the "export-marks"
definition above.
Speaking of which, we can also use skip_prefix in a few
other places while we are in the function.

When a remote helper crashes while pushing we should revert back to the
state before the push, however, it's possible that `git fast-export`

This creates a synchronization problem because from that moment on
`git fast-{import,export}` will have marks that the remote helper is not

Allow a safer "rewind of the remote tip" push than blind "--force",

the new history to replace it was prepared.
The machinery is more or less ready. The "--force" option is again
the big red button to override any safety, thanks to J6t's sanity
(the original round allowed --lockref to defeat --force).
The logic to choose the default implemented here is fragile
(e.g. "git fetch" after seeing a failure will update the
remote-tracking branch and will make the next "push" pass,
defeating the safety pretty easily). It is suitable only for the
simplest workflows, and it may hurt users more than it helps them.

Prior to commit 81d340d4, we did not print any error message
if a remote transport helper died unexpectedly. If a helper
did not print any error message (e.g., because it crashed),
the user could be left confused. That commit tried to
rectify the situation by printing a note that the helper
exited unexpectedly.
However, this makes a much more common case worse: when a
helper does die with a useful message, we print the extra
"Reading from 'git-remote-foo failed" message. This can also
end up confusing users, as they may not even know what
remote helpers are (e.g., the fact that http support comes
through git-remote-https is purely an implementation detail
that most users do not know or care about).
Since we do not have a good way of knowing whether the
helper printed a useful error, and since the common failure
mode is for it to do so, let's default to remaining quiet.

If there's already a remote-helper tracking ref, we can fetch the

The remote-helper currently can specify the old SHA-1 to avoid this
problem, but there's no point in forcing all remote-helpers to be aware

When pushing, the remote namespace is updated correctly
(e.g. refs/origin/master), but not the remote helper's
(e.g. refs/testgit/origin/master), which currently is only
updated while fetching.
Since the remote namespace is used to tell fast-export which commits
to avoid (because they were already imported/exported), it makes
sense to have them in sync so they don't get generated twice. If the
remote helper was implemented properly, they would be ignored, if
not, they probably would end up repeated.

For the modes that need it. In the future we should probably error out,
instead of providing half-assed support.
The reason we want to do this is because if it's not present, the remote
helper might be updating refs/heads/*, or refs/remotes/origin/*,
directly, and in the process fetch will get confused trying to update
refs that are already updated, or older than what they should be. We
shouldn't be messing with the rest of git.

This allows a remote helper using the 'export' protocol to specify that
it supports signed tags, changing the handing from 'warn-strip' to
'verbatim'.
Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk>
Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Currently, attempting to push a signed tag to a remote helper which uses
fast-export results in the remote helper failing because the default
fast-export action for signed tags is "abort". This is not helpful for
users because there is no way to pass additional arguments to
fast-export here, either from the remote helper or from the command
line.
In general, the signature will be invalidated by whatever transformation
a remote helper performs on a tag to push it to a repository in a
different format so the correct behaviour is to strip the tag. Doing
this silently may surprise people, so use "warn-strip" to issue a
warning when a signed tag is encountered.

When we try to read from a remote-helper and get EOF or an
error, we print a message indicating that the helper died.
However, users may not know that a remote helper was in use
(e.g., when using git-over-http), or even what a remote
helper is.
Let's print the name of the helper (e.g., "git-remote-https");
this makes it more obvious what the program is for, and
provides a useful token for reporting bugs or searching for
more information (e.g., in manpages).

If a push fails because the remote-helper died (with fast-export),
the user may not see any error message. We do correctly die with a
failed exit code, as we notice that the helper has died while
reading back the ref status from the helper. However, we don't print
any message. This is OK if the helper itself printed a useful error
message, but we cannot count on that; let's let the user know that
the helper failed.
In the long run, it may make more sense to propagate the error back
up to push, so that it can present the usual status table and give a
nicer message. But this is a much simpler fix that can help
immediately.
While we're adding tests, let's also confirm that the remote-helper
dying is also detected when importing refs. We currently do so
robustly when the helper uses the "done" feature (and that is what
we test). We cannot do so reliably when the helper does not use the
"done" feature, but it is not even worth testing; the right solution
is for the helper to start using "done".

When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

References are allowed to update from one commit-ish to another if the
former is an ancestor of the latter. This behavior is oriented to
branches which are expected to move with commits. Tag references are
expected to be static in a repository, though, thus an update to
something under refs/tags/ should be rejected unless the update is
forced.

The fast-import commands 'cat-blob' and 'ls' can be used by
remote-helpers to retrieve information about blobs and trees that
already exist in fast-import's memory. This requires a channel from
fast-import to the remote-helper.
remote-helpers that use these features shall advertise the new
'bidi-import' capability to signal that they require the communication
channel. When forking fast-import in transport-helper.c connect it to
a dup of the remote-helper's stdin-pipe. The additional file
descriptor is passed to fast-import via its command line
(--cat-blob-fd). It follows that git and fast-import are connected to
the remote-helpers's stdin.
Because git can send multiple commands to the remote-helper on it's
stdin, it is required that helpers that advertise 'bidi-import' buffer
all input commands until the batch of 'import' commands is ended by a
newline before sending data to fast-import. This is to prevent mixing
commands and fast-import responses on the helper's stdin.

* sp/smart-http-failure-to-push:
: Mask SIGPIPE on the command channel going to a transport helper
disconnect from remote helpers more gently
Conflicts:
transport-helper.c
When git spawns a remote helper program (like git-remote-http),
the last thing we do before closing the pipe to the child
process is to send a blank line, telling the helper that we
are done issuing commands. However, the helper may already
have exited, in which case the parent git process will
receive SIGPIPE and die.
In particular, this can happen with the remote-curl helper
when it encounters errors during a push. The helper reports
individual errors for each ref back to git-push, and then
exits with a non-zero exit code. Depending on the exact
timing of the write, the parent process may or may not
receive SIGPIPE.
This causes intermittent test failure in t5541.8, and is a
side effect of 5238cbf (remote-curl: Fix push status report
when all branches fail). Before that commit, remote-curl
would not send the final blank line to indicate that the
list of status lines was complete; it would just exit,
closing the pipe. The parent git-push would notice the
closed pipe while reading the status report and exit
immediately itself, propagating the failing exit code. But
post-5238cbf, remote-curl completes the status list before
exiting, git-push actually runs to completion, and then it
tries to cleanly disconnect the helper, leading to the
SIGPIPE race above.
This patch drops all error-checking when sending the final
"we are about to hang up" blank line to helpers. There is
nothing useful for the parent process to do about errors at
that point anyway, and certainly failing to send our "we are
done with commands" line to a helper that has already exited
is not a problem.
