"git submodule update" attempts two different kinds of "git fetch"
against the upstream repository to grab a commit bound at the
submodule's path, but it incorrectly gave up if the first kind
(i.e. a normal fetch) failed, making the second "last resort" one
(i.e. fetching an exact commit object by object name) ineffective.
This has been corrected.

submodule-config: verify submodule names as paths
Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file,
but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our
on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by
putting "../" into the name (among other things).
Let's sanity-check these names to avoid building a path that
can be exploited. There are two main decisions:
1. What should the allowed syntax be?
It's tempting to reuse verify_path(), since submodule
names typically come from in-repo paths. But there are
two reasons not to:
a. It's technically more strict than what we need, as
we really care only about breaking out of the
$GIT_DIR/modules/ hierarchy. E.g., having a
submodule named "foo/.git" isn't actually
dangerous, and it's possible that somebody has
manually given such a funny name.
b. Since we'll eventually use this checking logic in
fsck to prevent downstream repositories, it should
be consistent across platforms. Because
verify_path() relies on is_dir_sep(), it wouldn't
block "foo\..\bar" on a non-Windows machine.
2. Where should we enforce it? These days most of the
.gitmodules reads go through submodule-config.c, so
I've put it there in the reading step. That should
cover all of the C code.
We also construct the name for "git submodule add"
inside the git-submodule.sh script. This is probably
not a big deal for security since the name is coming
from the user anyway, but it would be polite to remind
them if the name they pick is invalid (and we need to
expose the name-checker to the shell anyway for our
test scripts).
This patch issues a warning when reading .gitmodules
and just ignores the related config entry completely.
This will generally end up producing a sensible error,
as it works the same as a .gitmodules file which is
missing a submodule entry (so "submodule update" will
barf, but "git clone --recurse-submodules" will print
an error but not abort the clone.
There is one minor oddity, which is that we print the
warning once per malformed config key (since that's how
the config subsystem gives us the entries). So in the
new test, for example, the user would see three
warnings. That's OK, since the intent is that this case
should never come up outside of malicious repositories
(and then it might even benefit the user to see the
message multiple times).
Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of
concept from which the test script was adapted goes to
Etienne Stalmans.

This is the logical continuum of fb43e31f2b (submodule: try harder to
fetch needed sha1 by direct fetching sha1, 2016-02-23) and fixes it as
some assumptions were not correct.
The commit states:
> If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch ... fail ourselves here
> assumes that the fetch_in_submodule only fails when the serverside does
> not support fetching by sha1.
There are other failures, why such a fetch may fail, such as
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref HEAD
which can happen if the remote side doesn't advertise HEAD and we do not
have a local fetch refspec.
Not advertising HEAD is allowed by the protocol spec and would happen,
if HEAD points at an unborn branch for example.
Not having a local fetch refspec can happen when submodules are fetched
shallowly, as then git-clone doesn't setup a fetch refspec.
So do try even harder for a submodule by ignoring the exit code of the
first fetch and rather relying on the following is_tip_reachable to
see if we try fetching again.

When running 'git submodule foreach --recursive' from a subdirectory of
your repository, nested submodules get a bogus value for $path:
For a submodule 'sub' that contains a nested submodule 'nested',
running 'git -C dir submodule foreach echo $path' from the root of the
superproject would report path='../nested' for the nested submodule.
The first part '../' is derived from the logic computing the relative
path from $pwd to the root of the superproject. The second part is the
submodule path inside the submodule. This value is of little use and is
hard to document.
Also, in git-submodule.txt, $path is documented to be the "name of the
submodule directory relative to the superproject", but "the
superproject" is ambiguous.
To resolve both these issues, we could:
(a) Change "the superproject" to "its immediate superproject", so
$path would be "nested" instead of "../nested".
(b) Change "the superproject" to "the superproject the original
command was run from", so $path would be "sub/nested" instead of
"../nested".
(c) Change "the superproject" to "the directory the original command
was run from", so $path would be "../sub/nested" instead of
"../nested".
The behavior for (c) was attempted to be introduced in 091a6eb0fe
(submodule: drop the top-level requirement, 2013-06-16) with the intent
for $path to be relative from $pwd to the submodule worktree, but that
did not work for nested submodules, as the intermittent submodules
were not included in the path.
If we were to fix the meaning of the $path using (a), we would break
any existing submodule user that runs foreach from non-root of the
superproject as the non-nested submodule '../sub' would change its
path to 'sub'.
If we were to fix the meaning of $path using (b), then we would break
any user that uses nested submodules (even from the root directory)
as the 'nested' would become 'sub/nested'.
If we were to fix the meaning of $path using (c), then we would break
the same users as in (b) as 'nested' would become 'sub/nested' from
the root directory of the superproject.
All groups can be found in the wild. The author has no data if one group
outweighs the other by large margin, and offending each one seems equally
bad at first. However in the authors imagination it is better to go with
(a) as running from a sub directory sounds like it is carried out by a
human rather than by some automation task. With a human on the keyboard
the feedback loop is short and the changed behavior can be adapted to
quickly unlike some automation that can break silently.

cmd_status() is ported from shell to C. This is done by introducing
four functions: module_status(), submodule_status_cb(),
submodule_status() and print_status().
The function module_status() acts as the front-end of the subcommand.
It parses subcommand's options and then calls the function
module_list_compute() for computing the list of submodules. Then
this functions calls for_each_listed_submodule() looping through the
list obtained.
Then for_each_listed_submodule() calls submodule_status_cb() for each of
the submodule in its list. The function submodule_status_cb() calls
submodule_status() after passing appropriate arguments to the funciton.
Function submodule_status() is responsible for generating the status
each submodule it is called for, and then calls print_status().
Finally, the function print_status() handles the printing of submodule's
status.
Function set_name_rev() is also ported from git-submodule to the
submodule--helper builtin function compute_rev_name(), which now
generates the value of the revision name as required.

It's an easy mistake to add a repository inside another
repository, like:
git clone $url
git add .
The resulting entry is a gitlink, but there's no matching
.gitmodules entry. Trying to use "submodule init" (or clone
with --recursive) doesn't do anything useful. Prior to
v2.13, such an entry caused git-submodule to barf entirely.
In v2.13, the entry is considered "inactive" and quietly
ignored. Either way, no clone of your repository can do
anything useful with the gitlink without the user manually
adding the submodule config.
In most cases, the user probably meant to either add a real
submodule, or they forgot to put the embedded repository in
their .gitignore file.
Let's issue a warning when we see this case. There are a few
things to note:
- the warning will go in the git-add porcelain; anybody
wanting to do low-level manipulation of the index is
welcome to create whatever funny states they want.
- we detect the case by looking for a newly added gitlink;
updates via "git add submodule" are perfectly reasonable,
and this avoids us having to investigate .gitmodules
entirely
- there's a command-line option to suppress the warning.
This is needed for git-submodule itself (which adds the
entry before adding any submodule config), but also
provides a mechanism for other scripts doing
submodule-like things.
We could make this a hard error instead of a warning.
However, we do add lots of sub-repos in our test suite. It's
not _wrong_ to do so. It just creates a state where users
may be surprised. Pointing them in the right direction with
a gentle hint is probably the best option.
There is a config knob that can disable the (long) hint. But
I intentionally omitted a config knob to disable the warning
entirely. Whether the warning is sensible or not is
generally about context, not about the user's preferences.
If there's a tool or workflow that adds gitlinks without
matching .gitmodules, it should probably be taught about the
new command-line option, rather than blanket-disabling the
warning.

Previously the `GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL` environment variable was used to
specify a whitelist of protocols to be used in clone/fetch/push
commands. This patch introduces new configuration options for more
fine-grained control for allowing/disallowing protocols. This also has
the added benefit of allowing easier construction of a protocol
whitelist on systems where setting an environment variable is
non-trivial.
Now users can specify a policy to be used for each type of protocol via
the 'protocol.<name>.allow' config option. A default policy for all
unconfigured protocols can be set with the 'protocol.allow' config
option. If no user configured default is made git will allow known-safe
protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file), disallow known-dangerous
protocols (ext), and have a default policy of `user` for all other
protocols.
The supported policies are `always`, `never`, and `user`. The `user`
policy can be used to configure a protocol to be usable when explicitly
used by a user, while disallowing it for commands which run
clone/fetch/push commands without direct user intervention (e.g.
recursive initialization of submodules). Commands which can potentially
clone/fetch/push from untrusted repositories without user intervention
can export `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` with a value of '0' to prevent
protocols configured to the `user` policy from being used.
Fix remote-ext tests to use the new config to allow the ext
protocol to be tested.

When cloning with "--recursive", we'd generally expect
submodules to show progress reports if the main clone did,
too.
In older versions of git, this mostly worked out of the
box. Since we show progress by default when stderr is a tty,
and since the child clones inherit the parent stderr, then
both processes would come to the same decision by default.
If the parent clone was asked for "--quiet", we passed down
"--quiet" to the child. However, if stderr was not a tty and
the user specified "--progress", we did not propagate this
to the child.
That's a minor bug, but things got much worse when we
switched recently to submodule--helper's update_clone
command. With that change, the stderr of the child clones
are always connected to a pipe, and we never output
progress at all.
This patch teaches git-submodule and git-submodule--helper
how to pass down an explicit "--progress" flag when cloning.
The clone command then decides to propagate that flag based
on the cloning decision made earlier (which takes into
account isatty(2) of the parent process, existing --progress
or --quiet flags, etc). Since the child processes always run
without a tty on stderr, we don't have to worry about
passing an explicit "--no-progress"; it's the default for
them.
This fixes the recent loss of progress during recursive
clones. And as a bonus, it makes:
git clone --recursive --progress ... 2>&1 | cat
work by triggering progress explicitly in the children.

git-submodule--helper is invoked as the upstream of a pipe in several
places. Usually, the failure of a program in this position is not
detected by the shell. For this reason, the code inserts a token in the
output stream when git-submodule--helper fails that is detected
downstream, where the shell script is quit with exit code 1.
There happens to be a bug in git-submodule--helper that leads to a
segmentation fault. The test suite triggers the crash in several places,
all of which are protected by 'test_must_fail'. But due to the inspecific
exit code 1, the crash remains undiagnosed.
Extend the failure protocol such that git-submodule--helper's exit code

In 15ffb7cde4 (2011-06-13, submodule update: continue when a checkout
fails), we reasoned it is ok to continue, when there is not much of
a mental burden by the failure. If a recursive submodule fails to clone
because a .gitmodules file is broken (e.g. :
fatal: No url found for submodule path 'foo/bar' in .gitmodules
Failed to recurse into submodule path 'foo', signaled by exit code 128),
this is one of the cases where the user is not expected to have much of
a burden afterwards, so we can also continue in that case.
This means we only want to stop for updating submodules in case of rebase,
merge or custom update command failures, which are all signaled with

An earlier addition of "sanitize_submodule_env" with 14111fc4 (git:
submodule honor -c credential.* from command line, 2016-02-29)
turned out to be a convoluted no-op; implement what it wanted to do
correctly, and stop filtering settings given via "git -c var=val".
* jk/submodule-c-credential:
submodule: stop sanitizing config options
submodule: use prepare_submodule_repo_env consistently
submodule--helper: move config-sanitizing to submodule.c
submodule: export sanitized GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS
t5550: break submodule config test into multiple sub-tests
t5550: fix typo in $HTTPD_URL
Correct faulty recommendation to use "git submodule deinit ." when
de-initialising all submodules, which would result in a strange
error message in a pathological corner case.
* sb/submodule-deinit-all:
submodule deinit: require '--all' instead of '.' for all submodules
Update of "git submodule" to move pieces of logic to C continues.
* sb/submodule-init:

submodule--helper update-clone: abort gracefully on missing .gitmodules
submodule init: fail gracefully with a missing .gitmodules file
submodule: port init from shell to C
submodule: port resolve_relative_url from shell to C
The point of having a whitelist of command-line config
options to pass to submodules was two-fold:
1. It prevented obvious nonsense like using core.worktree
for multiple repos.
2. It could prevent surprise when the user did not mean
for the options to leak to the submodules (e.g.,
http.sslverify=false).
For case 1, the answer is mostly "if it hurts, don't do
that". For case 2, we can note that any such example has a
matching inverted surprise (e.g., a user who meant
http.sslverify=true to apply everywhere, but it didn't).
So this whitelist is probably not giving us any benefit, and
is already creating a hassle as people propose things to put
on it. Let's just drop it entirely.
Note that we still need to keep a special code path for
"prepare the submodule environment", because we still have
to take care to pass through $GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS (and
block the rest of the repo-specific environment variables).
We can do this easily from within the submodule shell
script, which lets us drop the submodule--helper option
entirely (and it's OK to do so because as a "--" program, it
is entirely a private implementation detail).

The discussion in [1] pointed out that '.' is a faulty suggestion as
there is a corner case where it fails:

> Did you forget to 'git add'?
> $ >file && git add file
> $ rungit v2.6.6 submodule deinit .
> $ echo $?
> 0
So instead of a pathspec add the '--all' option to deinit all submodules
and add a test to check for the corner case of an empty repository.
The code only needs to learn about the '--all' option and doesn't
require further changes as `git submodule--helper list "$@"` will list
all submodules when "$@" is empty.

"git submodule" reports the paths of submodules the command
recurses into, but this was incorrect when the command was not run

submodule status: correct path handling in recursive submodules
submodule update --init: correct path handling in recursive submodules

By having the `submodule init` functionality in C, we can reference it
easier from other parts in the code in later patches. The code is split
up to have one function to initialize one submodule and a calling function
that takes care of the rest, such as argument handling and translating the
arguments to the paths of the submodules.
This is the first submodule subcommand that is fully converted to C
except for the usage string, so this is actually removing a call to
the `submodule--helper list` function, which is supposed to be used in
this transition. Instead we'll make a direct call to `module_list_compute`.
An explanation why we need to edit the prefixes in cmd_update in
git-submodule.sh in this patch:
By having no processing in the shell part, we need to convey the notion
of wt_prefix and prefix to the C parts, which former patches punted on
and did the processing of displaying path in the shell.
`wt_prefix` used to hold the path from the repository root to the current
directory, e.g. wt_prefix would be t/ if the user invoked the
`git submodule` command in ~/repo/t and ~repo is the GIT_DIR.
`prefix` used to hold the relative path from the repository root to the
operation, e.g. if you have recursive submodules, the shell script would
modify the `prefix` in each recursive step by adding the submodule path.
We will pass `wt_prefix` into the C helper via `git -C <dir>` as that
will setup git in the directory the user actually called git-submodule.sh
from. The `prefix` will be passed in via the `--prefix` option.
Having `prefix` and `wt_prefix` relative to the GIT_DIR of the
calling superproject is unfortunate with this patch as the C code doesn't
know about a possible recursion from a superproject via `submodule update
--init --recursive`.
To fix this, we change the meaning of `wt_prefix` to point to the current
project instead of the superproject and `prefix` to include any relative
paths issues in the superproject. That way `prefix` will become the leading
part for displaying paths and `wt_prefix` will be empty in recursive
calls for now.
The new notion of `wt_prefix` and `prefix` still allows us to reconstruct
the calling directory in the superproject by just traveling reverse of
`prefix`.

functionality, so start by porting this function to C.

Due to the way that the git-submodule code works, it clears all local

other variables which would affect the operation of submodule commands.
However, GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS is special, and we actually do want to
preserve these settings. However, we do not want to preserve all
configuration as many things should be left specific to the parent
project.
Add a git submodule--helper function, sanitize-config, which shall be

except a small subset that are known to be safe and necessary.

When reviewing a change that also updates a submodule in Gerrit, a
common review practice is to download and cherry-pick the patch
locally to test it. However when testing it locally, the 'git
submodule update' may fail fetching the correct submodule sha1 as
the corresponding commit in the submodule is not yet part of the
project history, but also just a proposed change.
If $sha1 was not part of the default fetch, we try to fetch the $sha1
directly. Some servers however do not support direct fetch by sha1,
which leads git-fetch to fail quickly. We can fail ourselves here as
the still missing sha1 would lead to a failure later in the checkout
stage anyway, so failing here is as good as we can get.

The infrastructure to rewrite "git submodule" in C is being built

Some protocols (like git-remote-ext) can execute arbitrary
code found in the URL. The URLs that submodules use may come
from arbitrary sources (e.g., .gitmodules files in a remote
repository). Let's restrict submodules to fetching from a
known-good subset of protocols.
Note that we apply this restriction to all submodule
commands, whether the URL comes from .gitmodules or not.
This is more restrictive than we need to be; for example, in
the tests we run:
git submodule add ext::...
which should be trusted, as the URL comes directly from the
command line provided by the user. But doing it this way is
simpler, and makes it much less likely that we would miss a
case. And since such protocols should be an exception
(especially because nobody who clones from them will be able
to update the submodules!), it's not likely to inconvenience
anyone in practice.

Most of the submodule operations work on a set of submodules.
Calculating and using this set is usually done via:
module_list "$@" | {
while read mode sha1 stage sm_path
do
# the actual operation
done
}
Currently the function `module_list` is implemented in the
git-submodule.sh as a shell script wrapping a perl script.
The rewrite is in C, such that it is faster and can later be
easily adapted when other functions are rewritten in C.
git-submodule.sh, similar to the builtin commands, will navigate
to the top-most directory of the repository and keep the
subdirectory as a variable. As the helper is called from
within the git-submodule.sh script, we are already navigated
to the root level, but the path arguments are still relative
to the subdirectory we were in when calling git-submodule.sh.
That's why there is a `--prefix` option pointing to an alternative
path which to anchor relative path arguments.
