2012-01-08server_supports(): parse feature list more carefullyJunio C Hamano
We have been carefully choosing feature names used in the protocol extensions so that the vocabulary does not contain a word that is a substring of another word, so it is not a real problem, but we have recently added "quiet" feature word, which would mean we cannot later add some other word with "quiet" (e.g. "quiet-push"), which is awkward. Let's make sure that we can eventually be able to do so by teaching the clients and servers that feature words consist of non whitespace letters. This parser also allows us to later add features with parameters e.g. "feature=1.5" (parameter values need to be quoted for whitespaces, but we will worry about the detauls when we do introduce them).

2011-12-13connect.c: drop path_match functionJeff King

2011-12-13drop "match" parameter from get_remote_headsJeff King
The get_remote_heads function reads the list of remote refs during git protocol session. It dates all the way back to def88e9 (Commit first cut at "git-fetch-pack", 2005-07-04). At that time, the idea was to come up with a list of refs we were interested in, and then filter the list as we got it from the remote side. Later, 1baaae5 (Make maximal use of the remote refs, 2005-10-28) stopped filtering at the get_remote_heads layer, letting us use the non-matching refs to find common history. As a result, all callers now simply pass an empty match list (and any future callers will want to do the same). So let's drop these now-useless parameters.

2011-12-06enable SO_KEEPALIVE for connected TCP socketsEric Wong
Sockets may never receive notification of some link errors, causing "git fetch" or similar processes to hang forever. Enabling keepalive messages allows hung processes to error out after a few minutes/hours depending on the keepalive settings of the system. This is a problem noticed when running non-interactive cronjobs to mirror repositories using "git fetch".

2011-10-05Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argumentMichael Haggerty
Change check_ref_format() to take a flags argument that indicates what is acceptable in the reference name (analogous to "git check-ref-format"'s "--allow-onelevel" and "--refspec-pattern"). This is more convenient for callers and also fixes a failure in the test suite (and likely elsewhere in the code) by enabling "onelevel" and "refspec-pattern" to be allowed independently of each other. Also rename check_ref_format() to check_refname_format() to make it obvious that it deals with refnames rather than references themselves.

2011-05-16connect: let callers know if connection is a socketJeff King
They might care because they want to do a half-duplex close. With pipes, that means simply closing the output descriptor; with a socket, you must actually call shutdown. Instead of exposing the magic no_fork child_process struct, let's encapsulate the test in a function. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2011-05-16connect: treat generic proxy processes like ssh processesJeff King
The git_connect function returns two ends of a pipe for talking with a remote, plus a struct child_process representing the other end of the pipe. If we have a direct socket connection, then this points to a special "no_fork" child process. The code path for doing git-over-pipes or git-over-ssh sets up this child process to point to the child git command or the ssh process. When we call finish_connect eventually, we check wait() on the command and report its return value. The code path for git://, on the other hand, always sets it to no_fork. In the case of a direct TCP connection, this makes sense; we have no child process. But in the case of a proxy command (configured by core.gitproxy), we do have a child process, but we throw away its pid, and therefore ignore its return code. Instead, let's keep that information in the proxy case, and respect its return code, which can help catch some errors (though depending on your proxy command, it will be errors reported by the proxy command itself, and not propagated from git commands. Still, it is probably better to propagate such errors than to ignore them). It also means that the child_process field can reliably be used to determine whether the returned descriptors are actually a full-duplex socket, which means we should be using shutdown() instead of a simple close.

2009-06-21Fix various sparse warnings in the git source codeLinus Torvalds
There are a few remaining ones, but this fixes the trivial ones. It boils down to two main issues that sparse complains about: - warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer Sparse doesn't like you using '0' instead of 'NULL'. For various good reasons, not the least of which is just the visual confusion. A NULL pointer is not an integer, and that whole "0 works as NULL" is a historical accident and not very pretty. A few of these remain: zlib is a total mess, and Z_NULL is just a 0. I didn't touch those. - warning: symbol 'xyz' was not declared. Should it be static? Sparse wants to see declarations for any functions you export. A lack of a declaration tends to mean that you should either add one, or you should mark the function 'static' to show that it's in file scope. A few of these remain: I only did the ones that should obviously just be made static. That 'wt_status_submodule_summary' one is debatable. It has a few related flags (like 'wt_status_use_color') which _are_ declared, and are used by builtin-commit.c. So maybe we'd like to export it at some point, but it's not declared now, and not used outside of that file, so 'static' it is in this patch.

2009-06-06daemon: Strictly parse the "extra arg" part of the commandShawn O. Pearce
Since 1.4.4.5 (49ba83fb67 "Add virtualization support to git-daemon") git daemon enters an infinite loop and never terminates if a client hides any extra arguments in the initial request line which is not exactly "\0host=blah\0". Since that change, a client must never insert additional extra arguments, or attempt to use any argument other than "host=", as any daemon will get stuck parsing the request line and will never complete the request. Since the client can't tell if the daemon is patched or not, it is not possible to know if additional extra args might actually be able to be safely requested. If we ever need to extend the git daemon protocol to support a new feature, we may have to do something like this to the exchange: # If both support git:// v2 # C: 000cgit://v2 S: 0010ok host user C: 0018host git.kernel.org C: 0027git-upload-pack /pub/linux-2.6.git S: ...git-upload-pack header... # If client supports git:// v2, server does not: # C: 000cgit://v2 S: <EOF> C: 003bgit-upload-pack /pub/linux-2.6.git\0host=git.kernel.org\0 S: ...git-upload-pack header... This requires the client to create two TCP connections to talk to an older git daemon, however all daemons since the introduction of daemon.c will safely reject the unknown "git://v2" command request, so the client can quite easily determine the server supports an older protocol.

2009-06-01connect.c: Support PuTTY plink and TortoisePlink as SSH on WindowsEdward Z. Yang
OpenSSH uses -p to specify custom ports, while PuTTY plink and TortoisePlink use -P. Git now detects if plink is in GIT_SSH and modify its flags as necessary. We call plink with -batch, so that it will error out with an error message instead of waiting for user input. As reported in msysGit issue 96, plink wants to interact with the user asking if a host key should be accepted, but this just blocks the terminal, since plink tries to get the answer from stdin. However, stdin is already connected to Git that wants to send input to the remote command. But we do not pass -batch to TortoisePlink, because TortoisePlink uses a GUI to communicate with the user, and it does not understand -batch. Signed-off-by: Edward Z.

2008-09-09push: prepare sender to receive extended ref information from the receiverJunio C Hamano
"git push" enhancement allows the receiving end to report not only its own refs but refs in repositories it borrows from via the alternate object store mechanism. By telling the sender that objects reachable from these extra refs are already complete in the receiving end, the number of objects that need to be transfered can be cut down. These entries are sent over the wire with string ".have", instead of the actual names of the refs. This string was chosen so that they are ignored by older programs at the sending end. If we sent some random but valid looking refnames for these entries, "matching refs" rule (triggered when running "git push" without explicit refspecs, where the sender learns what refs the receiver has, and updates only the ones with the names of the refs the sender also has) and "delete missing" rule (triggered when "git push --mirror" is used, where the sender tells the receiver to delete the refs it itself does not have) would try to update/delete them, which is not what we want. This prepares the send-pack (and "push" that runs native protocol) to accept extended existing ref information and make use of it. The ".have" entries are excluded from ref matching rules, and are exempt from deletion rule while pushing with --mirror option, but are still used for pack generation purposes by providing more "bottom" range commits.
