"git fsck" ensures that the paths recorded in tree objects are
sorted and without duplicates, but it failed to notice a case where
a blob is followed by entries that sort before a tree with the same
name. This has been corrected.
* rs/fsck-duplicate-names-in-trees:
fsck: report non-consecutive duplicate names in trees
Tree entries are sorted in path order, meaning that directory names get
a slash ('/') appended implicitly. Git fsck checks if trees contains
consecutive duplicates, but due to that ordering there can be
non-consecutive duplicates as well if one of them is a directory and the
other one isn't. Such a tree cannot be fully checked out.
Find these duplicates by recording candidate file names on a stack and
check candidate directory names against that stack to find matches.

The config API made mixed uses of int and size_t types to represent
length of various pieces of text it parsed, which has been updated
to use the correct type (i.e. size_t) throughout.

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
that would be passed to git-remote-curl and the credential machinery:
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.

The credential protocol can't handle values with newlines. We already
detect and block any such URLs from being used with credential helpers,
but let's also add an fsck check to detect and block gitmodules files
with such URLs. That will let us notice the problem earlier when
transfer.fsckObjects is turned on. And in particular it will prevent bad

We'll file this under the existing gitmodulesUrl flag, which covers URLs
with option injection. There's really no need to distinguish the exact
flaw in the URL in this context. Likewise, I've expanded the description

...
The config setting `core.protectNTFS` is specifically designed to work
not only on Windows, but anywhere, to allow for repositories hosted on,
say, Linux servers to be protected against NTFS-specific attack vectors.
As a consequence, `is_ntfs_dotgit()` manually splits backslash-separated
paths (but does not do the same for paths separated by forward slashes),
under the assumption that the backslash might not be a valid directory
separator on the _current_ Operating System.
However, the two callers, `verify_path()` and `fsck_tree()`, are
supposed to feed only individual path segments to the `is_ntfs_dotgit()`
function.
This causes a lot of duplicate scanning (and very inefficient scanning,
too, as the inner loop of `is_ntfs_dotgit()` was optimized for
readability rather than for speed.
Let's simplify the design of `is_ntfs_dotgit()` by putting the burden of
splitting the paths by backslashes as directory separators on the
callers of said function.
Consequently, the `verify_path()` function, which already splits the
path by directory separators, now treats backslashes as directory
separators _explicitly_ when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on, even on
platforms where the backslash is _not_ a directory separator.
Note that we have to repeat some code in `verify_path()`: if the
backslash is not a directory separator on the current Operating System,
we want to allow file names like `\`, but we _do_ want to disallow paths
that are clearly intended to cause harm when the repository is cloned on
Windows.
The `fsck_tree()` function (the other caller of `is_ntfs_dotgit()`) now
needs to look for backslashes in tree entries' names specifically when
`core.protectNTFS` is turned on. While it would be tempting to
completely disallow backslashes in that case (much like `fsck` reports
names containing forward slashes as "full paths"), this would be
overzealous: when `core.protectNTFS` is turned on in a non-Windows
setup, backslashes are perfectly valid characters in file names while we
_still_ want to disallow tree entries that are clearly designed to
exploit NTFS-specific behavior.
This simplification will make subsequent changes easier to implement,
such as turning `core.protectNTFS` on by default (not only on Windows)
or protecting against attack vectors involving NTFS Alternate Data
Streams.
Incidentally, this change allows for catching malicious repositories
that contain tree entries of the form `dir\.gitmodules` already on the
server side rather than only on the client side (and previously only on
Windows): in contrast to `is_ntfs_dotgit()`, the
`is_ntfs_dotgitmodules()` function already expects the caller to split
the paths by directory separators.

Commit 90cf590f53 (fsck: optionally show more helpful info for broken
links, 2016-07-17) added a system for decorating objects with names. The
code is split across builtin/fsck.c (which gives the initial names) and
fsck.c (which adds to the names as it traverses the object graph). This
leads to some duplication, where both sites have near-identical
describe_object() functions (the difference being that the one in
builtin/fsck.c uses a circular array of buffers to allow multiple calls
in a single printf).
Let's provide a unified object_name API for fsck. That lets us drop the
duplication, as well as making the interface boundaries more clear
(which will let us refactor the implementation more in a future patch).
We'll leave describe_object() in builtin/fsck.c as a thin wrapper around
the new API, as it relies on a static global to make its many callers a
bit shorter.
We'll also convert the bare add_decoration() calls in builtin/fsck.c to
put_object_name(). This fixes two minor bugs:
1. We leak many small strings. add_decoration() has a last-one-wins
approach: it updates the decoration to the new string and returns
the old one. But we ignore the return value, leaking the old
string. This is quite common to trigger, since we look at reflogs:
the tip of any ref will be described both by looking at the actual
ref, as well as the latest reflog entry. So we'd always end up
leaking one of those strings.
2. The last-one-wins approach gives us lousy names. For instance, we
first look at all of the refs, and then all of the reflogs. So
rather than seeing "refs/heads/master", we're likely to overwrite
it with "HEAD@{12345678}". We're generally better off using the
first name we find.
And indeed, the test in t1450 expects this ugly HEAD@{} name. After
this patch, we've switched to using fsck_put_object_name()'s
first-one-wins semantics, and we output the more human-friendly
"refs/tags/julius" (and the test is updated accordingly).

The fsck_object() function takes in a buffer, but also a "struct
object". The rules for using these vary between types:
- for a commit, we'll use the provided buffer; if it's NULL, we'll
fall back to get_commit_buffer(), which loads from either an
in-memory cache or from disk. If the latter fails, we'd die(), which
is non-ideal for fsck.
- for a tag, a NULL buffer will fall back to loading the object from
disk (and failure would lead to an fsck error)
- for a tree, we _never_ look at the provided buffer, and always use
tree->buffer
- for a blob, we usually don't look at the buffer at all, unless it
has been marked as a .gitmodule file. In that case we check the
buffer given to us, or assume a NULL buffer is a very large blob
(and complain about it)
This is much more complex than it needs to be. It turns out that nobody
ever feeds a NULL buffer that isn't a blob:
- git-fsck calls fsck_object() only from fsck_obj(). That in turn is
called by one of:
- fsck_obj_buffer(), which is a callback to verify_pack(), which
unpacks everything except large blobs into a buffer (see
pack-check.c, lines 131-141).
- fsck_loose(), which hits a BUG() on non-blobs with a NULL buffer
(builtin/fsck.c, lines 639-640)
And in either case, we'll have just called parse_object_buffer()
anyway, which would segfault on a NULL buffer for commits or tags
(not for trees, but it would install a NULL tree->buffer which would
later cause a segfault)
- git-index-pack asserts that the buffer is non-NULL unless the object
is a blob (see builtin/index-pack.c, line 832)
- git-unpack-objects always writes a non-NULL buffer into its
obj_buffer hash, which is then fed to fsck_object(). (There is
actually a funny thing here where it does not store blob buffers at
all, nor does it call fsck on them; it does check any needed blobs
via fsck_finish() though).
Let's make the rules simpler, which reduces the amount of code and gives
us more flexibility in refactoring the fsck code. The new rules are:
- only blobs are allowed to pass a NULL buffer
- we always use the provided buffer, never pulling information from
the object struct
We don't have to adjust any callers, because they were already adhering
to these. Note that we do drop a few fsck identifiers for missing tags,
but that was all dead code (because nobody passed a NULL tag buffer).

"--tags", and that code wasn't moved along with the check as part of
ba002f3b28 (builtin-fsck: move common object checking code to fsck.c,
2008-02-25).
It could also serve to detect type mismatch problems (where a tag points
to object X as a commit, but really X is a blob), but it couldn't do so
reliably (we'd call lookup_commit(X), but it will only notice the
problem if we happen to have previously called lookup_blob(X) in the
same process). And as of a commit earlier in this series, we'd consider
that a parse error and complain about the object even before getting to
this point anyway.
So let's drop this "tag->tagged" check. It's not helping anything, and
getting rid of it makes the function conceptually cleaner, as it really
is just checking the buffer we feed it. In fact, we can get rid of our
one-line wrapper and just unify fsck_tag() and fsck_tag_buffer().

In 4516338243 (builtin-fsck: reports missing parent commits,
2008-02-25), we added code to check that fsck found the same number of
parents from parsing the commit itself as we see in the commit struct we
got from parse_commit_buffer(). Back then the rationale was that the
normal commit parser might skip some bad parents.
But earlier in this series, we started treating that reliably as a
parsing error, meaning that we'd complain about it before we even hit
the code in fsck.c.
Let's drop this code, which now makes fsck_commit_buffer() completely
independent of any parsed values in the commit struct (that's
conceptually cleaner, and also opens up more refactoring options).
Note that we can also drop the MISSING_PARENT and MISSING_GRAFT fsck
identifiers. This is no loss, as these would not trigger reliably
anyway. We'd hit them only when lookup_commit() failed, which occurs
only if we happen to have seen the object with another type already in
the same process. In most cases, we'd actually run into the problem
during the connectivity walk, not here.
