In the commits merged in via 204333b015 (Merge branch
'jk/open-dotgitx-with-nofollow', 2021-03-22), we stopped following
symbolic links for .gitattributes, .gitignore, and .mailmap files.
Let's teach fsck to warn that these symlinks are not going to do
anything. Note that this is just a warning, and won't block the objects
via transfer.fsckObjects, since there are reported to be cases of this
in the wild (and even once fixed, they will continue to exist in the
commit history of those projects, but are not particularly dangerous).
Note that we won't add these to the existing gitmodules block in the
fsck code. The logic for gitmodules is a bit more complicated, as we
also check the content of non-symlink instances we find. But for these
new files, there is no content check; we're just looking at the name and
mode of the tree entry (and we can avoid even the complicated name
checks in the common case that the mode doesn't indicate a symlink).
We can reuse the test helper function we defined for .gitmodules, though
(it needs some slight adjustments for the fsck error code, and because
we don't block these symlinks via verify_path()).
Note that I didn't explicitly test the transfer.fsckObjects case here
(nor does the existing .gitmodules test that it blocks a push). The
translation of fsck severities to outcomes is covered in general in
t5504.

Commit b2f2039c2b (fsck: accept an oid instead of a "struct tree" for
fsck_tree(), 2019-10-18) introduced a new "oid" parameter to
fsck_tree(), and we pass it to the report() function when we find
problems. However, that is shadowed within the tree-walking loop by the
existing "oid" variable which we use to store the oid of each tree
entry. As a result, we may report the wrong oid for some problems we
detect within the loop (the entry oid, instead of the tree oid).
Our tests didn't catch this because they checked only that we found the
expected fsck problem, not that it was attached to the correct object.
Let's rename both variables in the function to avoid confusion. This
makes the diff a little noisy (e.g., all of the report() calls outside
the loop were already correct but need to be touched), but makes sure we
catch all cases and will avoid similar confusion in the future.
And we can update the test to be a bit more specific and catch this
problem.

Refactor the check added in 5476e1efde (fetch-pack: print and use

"msg_id" to the user defined "error_func". We can now compare against

Let's also replace register_found_gitmodules() with directly
manipulating the "gitmodules_found" member. A recent commit moved it
into "fsck_options" so we could do this here.
I'm sticking this callback in fsck.c. Perhaps in the future we'd like
to accumulate such callbacks into another file (maybe fsck-cb.c,
similar to parse-options-cb.c?), but while we've got just the one

Move the gitmodules_{found,done} static variables added in
159e7b080b (fsck: detect gitmodules files, 2018-05-02) into the
fsck_options struct. It makes sense to keep all the context in the

This requires changing the recently added register_found_gitmodules()

removed in a subsequent commit, but as it'll require the new
gitmodules_found attribute of "fsck_options" we need this intermediate
step first.
An earlier version of this patch removed the small amount of

Change code I added in acf9de4c94 (mktag: use fsck instead of custom

the fsck_msg_{id,type} types, instead of arbitrary strings that

At the time that the fsck_set_msg_type() API was introduced in
0282f4dced (fsck: offer a function to demote fsck errors to warnings,

checking of the data in fsck_set_msg_type() which is redundant to
checks we get from the compiler.

Change the fsck_error callback to also pass along the
fsck_msg_id. Before this change the only way to get the message id was
to parse it back out of the "message".
Let's pass it down explicitly for the benefit of callers that might
want to use it, as discussed in [1].
Passing the msg_type is now redundant, as you can always get it back
from the msg_id, but I'm not changing that convention. It's really
common to need the msg_type, and the report() function itself (which
calls "fsck_error") needs to call fsck_msg_type() to discover
it. Let's not needlessly re-do that work in the user callback.

Move the FSCK_{FATAL,INFO,ERROR,WARN,IGNORE} defines into a new

These defines were originally introduced in:
- ba002f3b28 (builtin-fsck: move common object checking code to

- f50c440730 (fsck: disallow demoting grave fsck errors to warnings,

The reason these were defined in two different places is because we
use FSCK_{IGNORE,INFO,FATAL} only in fsck.c, but FSCK_{ERROR,WARN} are
used by external callbacks.
Untangling that would take some more work, since we expose the new
"enum fsck_msg_type" to both. Similar to "enum object_type" it's not
worth structuring the API in such a way that only those who need

Remove the append_msg_id() function in favor of calling

msg_id strings in msg_id_info, let's use it.
When the append_msg_id() function was added in 71ab8fa840 (fsck:

function didn't exist. When prepare_msg_ids() was added in
a46baac61e (fsck: factor out msg_id_info[] lazy initialization code,

This changes the behavior of the code to initialize all the messages
instead of just camel-casing the one we need on the fly. Since the
common case is that we're printing just one message this is mostly
redundant work.
But that's OK in this case, reporting this fsck issue to the user
isn't performance-sensitive. If we were somehow doing so in a tight
loop (in a hopelessly broken repository?) this would help, since we'd
save ourselves from re-doing this work for identical messages, we
could just grab the prepared string from msg_id_info after the first

The approach to "fsck" the incoming objects in "index-pack" is
attractive for performance reasons (we have them already in core,
inflated and ready to be inspected), but fundamentally cannot be
applied fully when we receive more than one pack stream, as a tree
object in one pack may refer to a blob object in another pack as
".gitmodules", when we want to inspect blobs that are used as
".gitmodules" file, for example. Teach "index-pack" to emit
objects that must be inspected later and check them in the calling
"fetch-pack" process.
* jt/transfer-fsck-across-packs:
fetch-pack: print and use dangling .gitmodules
fetch-pack: with packfile URIs, use index-pack arg

http: allow custom index-pack args
Teach index-pack to print dangling .gitmodules links after its "keep" or
"pack" line instead of declaring an error, and teach fetch-pack to check
such lines printed.
This allows the tree side of the .gitmodules link to be in one packfile
and the blob side to be in another without failing the fsck check,
because it is now fetch-pack which checks such objects after all
packfiles have been downloaded and indexed (and not index-pack on an
individual packfile, as it is before this commit).

fsck --name-objects: be more careful parsing generation numbers
t1450: robustify `remove_object()`
In 7b35efd734 (fsck_walk(): optionally name objects on the go,
2016-07-17), the `fsck` machinery learned to optionally name the
objects, so that it is easier to see what part of the repository is in a
bad shape, say, when objects are missing.
To save on complexity, this machinery uses a parser to determine the
name of a parent given a commit's name: any `~<n>` suffix is parsed and
the parent's name is formed from the prefix together with `~<n+1>`.
However, this parser has a bug: if it finds a suffix `<n>` that is _not_
`~<n>`, it will mistake the empty string for the prefix and `<n>` for
the generation number. In other words, it will generate a name of the
form `~<bogus-number>`.

Change mktag's acceptance rules to accept an empty body without an
empty line after the header again. This fixes an ancient unintended
dregression in "mktag".
When "mktag" was introduced in ec4465adb3 (Add "tag" objects that can
be used to sign other objects., 2005-04-25) the input checks were much
looser. When it was documented it 6cfec03680 (mktag: minimally update
the description., 2007-06-10) it was clearly intended for this \n to
be optional:
The message, when [it] exists, is separated by a blank line from
the header.
But then in e0aaf781f6 (mktag.c: improve verification of tagger field
and tests, 2008-03-27) this was made an error, seemingly by
accident. It was just a result of the general header checks, and all
the tests after that patch have a trailing empty line (but did not
before).
Let's allow this again, and tweak the test semantics changed in
e0aaf781f6 to remove the redundant empty line. New tests added in
previous commits of mine already added an explicit test for allowing
the empty line between header and body.

Move the fsck_config() function from builtin/fsck.c to fsck.[ch]. This

support e.g. a "fetch." prefix, then just keep track of the skiplist
as a filename instead of parsing it, and learn to spew that all out
from our internal structures into something we can append to the
--strict option.
But instead I'm planning to re-use this in "mktag", which'll just

Change the validation logic in "mktag" to use fsck's fsck_tag()
instead of its own custom parser. Curiously the logic for both dates
back to the same commit[1]. Let's unify them so we're not maintaining
two sets functions to verify that a tag is OK.
The behavior of fsck_tag() and the old "mktag" code being removed here
is different in few aspects.
I think it makes sense to remove some of those checks, namely:
A. fsck only cares that the timezone matches [-+][0-9]{4}. The mktag
code disallowed values larger than 1400.
Yes there's currently no timezone with a greater offset[2], but
since we allow any number of non-offical timezones (e.g. +1234)
passing this through seems fine. Git also won't break in the
future if e.g. French Polynesia decides it needs to outdo the Line
Islands when it comes to timezone extravagance.
B. fsck allows missing author names such as "tagger <email>", mktag
wouldn't, but would allow e.g. "tagger [2 spaces] <email>" (but
not "tagger [1 space] <email>"). Now we allow all of these.
C. Like B, but "mktag" disallowed spaces in the <email> part, fsck
allows it.
In some ways fsck_tag() is stricter than "mktag" was, namely:
D. fsck disallows zero-padded dates, but mktag didn't care. So
e.g. the timestamp "0000000000 +0000" produces an error now. A
test in "t1006-cat-file.sh" relied on this, it's been changed to
use "hash-object" (without fsck) instead.
There was one check I deemed worth keeping by porting it over to
fsck_tag():
E. "mktag" did not allow any custom headers, and by extension (as an
empty commit is allowed) also forbade an extra stray trailing
newline after the headers it knew about.
Add a new check in the "ignore" category to fsck and use it. This
somewhat abuses the facility added in efaba7cc77 (fsck:
optionally ignore specific fsck issues completely, 2015-06-22).
This is somewhat of hack, but probably the least invasive change
we can make here. The fsck command will shuffle these categories
around, e.g. under --strict the "info" becomes a "warn" and "warn"
becomes "error". Existing users of fsck's (and others,
e.g. index-pack) --strict option rely on this.
So we need to put something into a category that'll be ignored by
all existing users of the API. Pretending that
fsck.extraHeaderEntry=error ("ignore" by default) was set serves
to do this for us.

Git's URL parser interprets
https:///example.com/repo.git
to have no host and a path of "example.com/repo.git". Curl, on the
other hand, internally redirects it to https://example.com/repo.git. As
a result, until "credential: parse URL without host as empty host, not
unset", tricking a user into fetching from such a URL would cause Git to
send credentials for another host to example.com.
Teach fsck to block and detect .gitmodules files using such a URL to
prevent sharing them with Git versions that are not yet protected.
A relative URL in a .gitmodules file could also be used to trigger this.
The relative URL resolver used for .gitmodules does not normalize
sequences of slashes and can follow ".." components out of the path part
and to the host part of a URL, meaning that such a relative URL can be
used to traverse from a https://foo.example.com/innocent superproject to
a https:///attacker.example.com/exploit submodule. Fortunately,
redundant extra slashes in .gitmodules are rare, so we can catch this by
detecting one after a leading sequence of "./" and "../" components.

libcurl permits making requests without a URL scheme specified. In
this case, it guesses the URL from the hostname, so I can run
git ls-remote http::ftp.example.com/path/to/repo
and it would make an FTP request.
Any user intentionally using such a URL is likely to have made a typo.
Unfortunately, credential_from_url is not able to determine the host and
protocol in order to determine appropriate credentials to send, and
until "credential: refuse to operate when missing host or protocol",
this resulted in another host's credentials being leaked to the named
host.
Teach credential_from_url_gently to consider such a URL to be invalid
so that fsck can detect and block gitmodules files with such URLs,
allowing server operators to avoid serving them to downstream users
running older versions of Git.
This also means that when such URLs are passed on the command line, Git
will print a clearer error so affected users can switch to the simpler
URL that explicitly specifies the host and protocol they intend.
One subtlety: .gitmodules files can contain relative URLs, representing
a URL relative to the URL they were cloned from. The relative URL
resolver used for .gitmodules can follow ".." components out of the path
part and past the host part of a URL, meaning that such a relative URL
can be used to traverse from a https://foo.example.com/innocent
superproject to a https::attacker.example.com/exploit submodule.
Fortunately a leading ':' in the first path component after a series of
leading './' and '../' components is unlikely to show up in other
contexts, so we can catch this by detecting that pattern.

In 07259e74ec (fsck: detect gitmodules URLs with embedded newlines,
2020-03-11), git fsck learned to check whether URLs in .gitmodules could
be understood by the credential machinery when they are handled by
git-remote-curl.
However, the check is overbroad: it checks all URLs instead of only
URLs that would be passed to git-remote-curl. In principle a git:// or
file:/// URL does not need to follow the same conventions as an http://
URL; in particular, git:// and file:// protocols are not succeptible to
issues in the credential API because they do not support attaching
credentials.
In the HTTP case, the URL in .gitmodules does not always match the URL

Git's URL syntax allows specifying a remote helper followed by a "::"
delimiter and a URL to be passed to it, so that
git ls-remote http::https://example.com/repo.git
invokes git-remote-http with https://example.com/repo.git as its URL
argument. With today's checks, that distinction does not make a
difference, but for a check we are about to introduce (for empty URL
schemes) it will matter.
.gitmodules files also support relative URLs. To ensure coverage for the
https based embedded-newline attack, urldecode and check them directly
for embedded newlines.

We return the length to a subset of a string using an "int *"
out-parameter. This is fine most of the time, as we'd expect config keys
to be relatively short, but it could behave oddly if we had a gigantic
config key. A more appropriate type is size_t.
Let's switch over, which lets our callers use size_t as appropriate
(they are bound by our type because they must pass the out-parameter as
a pointer). This is mostly just a cleanup to make it clear this code
handles long strings correctly. In practice, our config parser already
chokes on long key names (because of a similar int/size_t mixup!).
When doing an int/size_t conversion, we have to be careful that nobody
was trying to assign a negative value to the variable. I manually
confirmed that for each case here. They tend to just feed the result to
xmemdupz() or similar; in a few cases I adjusted the parameter types for
helper functions to make sure the size_t is preserved.
