2022-07-19git-cvsserver: clarify directory listDerrick Stolee
The documentation and error messages for git-cvsserver include some references to a "whitelist" that is not otherwise included in the documentation. When different parts of the documentation do not use common language, this can lead to confusion as to how things are meant to operate. Further, the word "whitelist" has cultural implications that make its use non-inclusive. Thankfully, we can remove it while increasing clarity. Update Documentation/git-cvsserver.txt in a similar way to the previous change to Documentation/git-daemon.txt. The optional '<directory>...' list can specify a list of allowed directories. We refer to that list directly inside of the documentation for the GIT_CVSSERVER_ROOT environment variable. While modifying this documentation, update the environment variables to use a list format. We use the modern way of tabbing the description of each variable in this section. We do _not_ update the description of '<directory>...' to use tabs this way since the rest of the items in the OPTIONS list do not use this modern formatting. A single error message in the actual git-cvsserver.perl code refers to the whitelist during argument parsing. Instead, refer to the directory list that has been clarified in the documentation.

2021-10-29tests: disable fsync everywhereEric Wong
The "GIT_TEST_FSYNC" environment variable now exists for disabling fsync() even on packfiles and other "critical" data. Running "make test -j8 NO_SVN_TESTS=1" on a noisy 8-core system on an HDD, test runtime drops from ~4 minutes down to ~3 minutes. Using "GIT_TEST_FSYNC=1" re-enables fsync() for comparison purposes. SVN interopability tests are minimally affected since SVN will still use fsync in various places. This will also be useful for 3rd-party tools which create throwaway git repositories of temporary data, but remains undocumented for end users.

2021-09-17git-cvsserver: protect against NULL in crypt(3)Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón
Some versions of crypt(3) will return NULL when passed an unsupported hash type (ex: OpenBSD with DES), so check for undef instead of using it directly. Also use this to probe the system and select a better hash function in the tests, so it can pass successfully.

2021-09-16git-cvsserver: use crypt correctly to compare password hashesCarlo Marcelo Arenas Belón
c057bad370 (git-cvsserver: use a password file cvsserver pserver, 2010-05-15) adds a way for `git cvsserver` to provide authenticated pserver accounts without having clear text passwords, but uses the username instead of the password to the call for crypt(3). Correct that, and make sure the documentation correctly indicates how to obtain hashed passwords that could be used to populate this configuration, as well as correcting the hash that was used for the tests. This change will require that any user of this feature updates the hashes in their configuration, but has the advantage of using a more similar format than cvs uses, probably also easying any migration.

2013-10-30cvsserver: Determinize output to combat Perl 5.18 hash randomizationAnders Kaseorg
Perl 5.18 randomizes the seed used by its hash function, so iterating through hashes results in different orders from run to run: http://perldoc.perl.org/perl5180delta.html#Hash-overhaul This usually broke t9400 (gitcvs.dbname, gitcvs.ext.dbname, when running cmp on two .sqlite files) and t9402 (check [cvswork3] diff, when running test_cmp on two diffs). To fix this, hide the internal order of hashes with sort when sending output or running database queries. (An alternative workaround is PERL_HASH_SEED=0, but this seems nicer.)

2013-09-11cvsserver: pick up the right mode bitsJunio C Hamano
When determining the file mode from either ls-tree or diff-tree output, we used to grab these octal mode string (typically 100644 or 100755) and then did $git_perms .= "r" if ( $mode & 4 ); $git_perms .= "w" if ( $mode & 2 ); $git_perms .= "x" if ( $mode & 1 ); which was already wrong, as (100644 & 4) is very different from oct("100644") & 4. An earlier refactoring 2c3af7e7 (cvsserver: factor out git-log parsing logic, 2012-10-13) further changed it to pick the third octal digit (10*0*644 or 10*0*755) from the left and then do the above conversion, which does not make sense, either. Let's use the third digit from the last of the octal mode string to make sure we get the executable and read bits right.

2012-10-16cvsserver: support -r and sticky tags for most operationsMatthew Ogilvie
- Split off prepDirForOutput for "update" and "commit". Some low level protocol details were changed to more closely resemble CVS even in non-tagged cases. Hopefully it still works with finicky clients like Eclipse. - Substantial changes to "diff". The output is now closer to standard CVS (including exit status), and can be used as a patch, but there are still a number of differences compared to CVS. - Tweaks to "add", "remove", "status", and "commit". - FUTURE: CVS revision numbers for branches simply encode git commit IDs in a way that resembles CVS revision numbers, dropping all normal CVS structural relations between different revision numbers. - FUTURE: "log" doesn't try to work properly at all with branches and tags. - FUTURE: "annotate" probably doesn't work with branches or tags either (untested)?

Keep track of the whole CVS revision number in-process. This will clarify code when we start handling non-linear revision numbers later. There is one externally visible change: conflict markers after an update will now include the full CVS revision number, including the "1." prefix. It used to leave off the prefix. Other than the conflict marker, this change doesn't effect external functionality. No new features, and the DB schema is unchanged such that it continues to store just the stripped rev numbers (without prefix).

2010-09-27perl: bump the required Perl version to 5.8 from 5.6.[21]Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason
Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2. However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old. All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX Solaris and Tru64 systems.
