6f054f9fb3 (builtin/clone.c: disallow --local clones with
symlinks, 2022-07-28) gives a good error message when "git clone
--local" fails when the repo to clone has symlinks in
"$GIT_DIR/objects". In bffc762f87 (dir-iterator: prevent top-level
symlinks without FOLLOW_SYMLINKS, 2023-01-24), we later extended this
restriction to the case where "$GIT_DIR/objects" is itself a symlink,
but we didn't update the error message then - bffc762f87's tests show
that we print a generic "failed to start iterator over" message.
This is exacerbated by the fact that Documentation/git-clone.txt
mentions neither restriction, so users are left wondering if this is
intentional behavior or not.
Fix this by adding a check to builtin/clone.c: when doing a local clone,
perform an extra check to see if "$GIT_DIR/objects" is a symlink, and if
so, assume that that was the reason for the failure and report the
relevant information. Ideally, dir_iterator_begin() would tell us that
the real failure reason is the presence of the symlink, but (as far as I
can tell) there isn't an appropriate errno value for that.
Also, update Documentation/git-clone.txt to reflect that this
restriction exists.

t5619: demonstrate clone_local() with ambiguous transport
When using the dir_iterator API, we first stat(2) the base path, and
then use that as a starting point to enumerate the directory's contents.
If the directory contains symbolic links, we will immediately die() upon
encountering them without the `FOLLOW_SYMLINKS` flag. The same is not
true when resolving the top-level directory, though.
As explained in a previous commit, this oversight in 6f054f9fb3
(builtin/clone.c: disallow `--local` clones with symlinks, 2022-07-28)
can be used as an attack vector to include arbitrary files on a victim's
filesystem from outside of the repository.
Prevent resolving top-level symlinks unless the FOLLOW_SYMLINKS flag is
given, which will cause clones of a repository with a symlink'd
"$GIT_DIR/objects" directory to fail.

When cloning a repository with `--local`, Git relies on either making a
hardlink or copy to every file in the "objects" directory of the source
repository. This is done through the callpath `cmd_clone()` ->
`clone_local()` -> `copy_or_link_directory()`.
The way this optimization works is by enumerating every file and
directory recursively in the source repository's `$GIT_DIR/objects`
directory, and then either making a copy or hardlink of each file. The
only exception to this rule is when copying the "alternates" file, in
which case paths are rewritten to be absolute before writing a new
"alternates" file in the destination repo.
One quirk of this implementation is that it dereferences symlinks when
cloning. This behavior was most recently modified in 36596fd2df (clone:
better handle symlinked files at .git/objects/, 2019-07-10), which
attempted to support `--local` clones of repositories with symlinks in
their objects directory in a platform-independent way.
Unfortunately, this behavior of dereferencing symlinks (that is,
creating a hardlink or copy of the source's link target in the
destination repository) can be used as a component in attacking a
victim by inadvertently exposing the contents of file stored outside of
the repository.
Take, for example, a repository that stores a Dockerfile and is used to
build Docker images. When building an image, Docker copies the directory
contents into the VM, and then instructs the VM to execute the
Dockerfile at the root of the copied directory. This protects against
directory traversal attacks by copying symbolic links as-is without
dereferencing them.
That is, if a user has a symlink pointing at their private key material
(where the symlink is present in the same directory as the Dockerfile,
but the key itself is present outside of that directory), the key is
unreadable to a Docker image, since the link will appear broken from the
container's point of view.
This behavior enables an attack whereby a victim is convinced to clone a
repository containing an embedded submodule (with a URL like
"file:///proc/self/cwd/path/to/submodule") which has a symlink pointing
at a path containing sensitive information on the victim's machine. If a
user is tricked into doing this, the contents at the destination of
those symbolic links are exposed to the Docker image at runtime.
One approach to preventing this behavior is to recreate symlinks in the
destination repository. But this is problematic, since symlinking the
objects directory are not well-supported. (One potential problem is that
when sharing, e.g. a "pack" directory via symlinks, different writers
performing garbage collection may consider different sets of objects to
be reachable, enabling a situation whereby garbage collecting one
repository may remove reachable objects in another repository).
Instead, prohibit the local clone optimization when any symlinks are
present in the `$GIT_DIR/objects` directory of the source repository.
Users may clone the repository again by prepending the "file://" scheme
to their clone URL, or by adding the `--no-local` option to their `git
clone` invocation.
The directory iterator used by `copy_or_link_directory()` must no longer
dereference symlinks (i.e., it *must* call `lstat()` instead of `stat()`
in order to discover whether or not there are symlinks present). This has
no bearing on the overall behavior, since we will immediately `die()` on
encounter a symlink.
Note that t5604.33 suggests that we do support local clones with
symbolic links in the source repository's objects directory, but this
was likely unintentional, or at least did not take into consideration
the problem with sharing parts of the objects directory with symbolic
links at the time. Update this test to reflect which options are and
aren't supported.

In the next patch, we'll add support for unconditionally enabling the
'pack.writeReverseIndex' setting with a new GIT_TEST_WRITE_REV_INDEX
environment variable.
This causes a little bit of fallout with tests that, for example,
compare the list of files in the pack directory being unprepared to see
.rev files in its output.
Those locations can be cleaned up to look for specific file extensions,
rather than take everything in the pack directory (for instance) and
then grep out unwanted items.
Once the pack.writeReverseIndex option has been thoroughly
tested, we will default it to 'true', removing GIT_TEST_WRITE_REV_INDEX,
and making it possible to revert this patch.

In addition to the manual adjustment to let the `linux-gcc` CI job run
the test suite with `master` and then with `main`, this patch makes sure
that GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME is set in all test scripts
that currently rely on the initial branch name being `master by default.
To determine which test scripts to mark up, the first step was to
force-set the default branch name to `master` in
- all test scripts that contain the keyword `master`,
- t4211, which expects `t/t4211/history.export` with a hard-coded ref to
initialize the default branch,
- t5560 because it sources `t/t556x_common` which uses `master`,
- t8002 and t8012 because both source `t/annotate-tests.sh` which also
uses `master`)
This trick was performed by this command:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/\(test-lib\|lib-\(bash\|cvs\|git-svn\)\|gitweb-lib\)\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\
' $(git grep -l master t/t[0-9]*.sh) \
t/t4211*.sh t/t5560*.sh t/t8002*.sh t/t8012*.sh
After that, careful, manual inspection revealed that some of the test
scripts containing the needle `master` do not actually rely on a
specific default branch name: either they mention `master` only in a
comment, or they initialize that branch specificially, or they do not
actually refer to the current default branch. Therefore, the
aforementioned modification was undone in those test scripts thusly:

We excluded one set of test scripts in these commands, though: the range
of `git p4` tests. The reason? `git p4` stores the (foreign) remote
branch in the branch called `p4/master`, which is obviously not the
default branch. Manual analysis revealed that only five of these tests
actually require a specific default branch name to pass; They were
modified thusly:
$ sed -i '/^ *\. \.\/lib-git-p4\.sh$/i\
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME=master\
export GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_INITIAL_BRANCH_NAME\

To make our values hash independent, we turn the directory of the object
into "Y" and the file name into "Z" after having sorted items by their
name. However, when using SHA-256, one of our file names begins with an
"a" character, which means it sorts into the wrong place in the list,
causing the test to fail.
Since we don't care about the order of these items, just sort them after
stripping actual hash contents, which means they'll work with any hash
algorithm.

Make the copy_or_link_directory function no longer skip hidden
directories. This function, used to copy .git/objects, currently skips
all hidden directories but not hidden files, which is an odd behaviour.
The reason for that could be unintentional: probably the intention was
to skip '.' and '..' only but it ended up accidentally skipping all
directories starting with '.'. Besides being more natural, the new
behaviour is more permissive to the user.
Also adjust tests to reflect this behaviour change.

There is currently an odd behaviour when locally cloning a repository
with symlinks at .git/objects: using --no-hardlinks all symlinks are
dereferenced but without it, Git will try to hardlink the files with the
link() function, which has an OS-specific behaviour on symlinks. On OSX
and NetBSD, it creates a hardlink to the file pointed by the symlink
whilst on GNU/Linux, it creates a hardlink to the symlink itself.
On Manjaro GNU/Linux:
$ touch a
$ ln -s a b
$ link b c
$ ls -li a b c
155 [...] a
156 [...] b -> a
156 [...] c -> a
But on NetBSD:
$ ls -li a b c
2609160 [...] a
2609164 [...] b -> a
2609160 [...] c
It's not good to have the result of a local clone to be OS-dependent and
besides that, the current behaviour on GNU/Linux may result in broken
symlinks. So let's standardize this by making the hardlinks always point
to dereferenced paths, instead of the symlinks themselves. Also, add
tests for symlinked files at .git/objects/.
Note: Git won't create symlinks at .git/objects itself, but it's better
to handle this case and be friendly with users who manually create them.

Add tests for what happens when we perform a local clone on a repo
containing odd files at .git/object directory, such as symlinks to other
dirs, or unknown files.
I'm bending over backwards here to avoid a SHA-1 dependency. See [1]
for an earlier and simpler version that hardcoded SHA-1s.
This behavior has been the same for a *long* time, but hasn't been
tested for.
There's a good post-hoc argument to be made for copying over unknown
things, e.g. I'd like a git version that doesn't know about the
commit-graph to copy it under "clone --local" so a newer git version
can make use of it.
In follow-up commits we'll look at changing some of this behavior, but
for now, let's just assert it as-is so we'll notice what we'll change
later.

When trying to find a good spot for testing clone with submodules, I
got confused where to add a new test file. There are both tests in t560*
as well as t57* both testing the clone command. t/README claims the
second digit is to indicate the command, which is inconsistent to the
current naming structure.
Rename all t57* tests to be in t56* to follow the pattern of the digits
as laid out in t/README.
It would have been less work to rename t56* => t57* because there are less
files, but the tests in t56* look more basic and I assumed the higher the
last digits the more complicated niche details are tested, so with the patch
now it looks more in order to me.
