2011-05-05shell: add missing initialization of argv0_pathDima Sharov
According to c6dfb39 (remote-curl: add missing initialization of argv0_path, 2009-10-13), stand-alone programs (non-builtins) must call git_extract_argv0_path(argv[0]) in order to help builds that derive the installation prefix at runtime. Without this call, the program segfaults (or raises an assertion failure).

2010-08-27shell: Display errors from improperly-formatted command linesGreg Brockman
The interface for split_cmdline has changed such that the caller holds responsibility for printing any error messages. This patch changes the git shell to print these error messages as appropriate. Signed-off-by: Greg Brockman <gdb@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2010-08-24shell: Rewrite documentation and improve error messageRamkumar Ramachandra
Update the documentation of 'git shell' to mention the interactive mode and COMMAND_DIR. Also provide a hint when interactive mode is not available in the shell.

2010-08-12Allow creation of arbitrary git-shell commandsGreg Brockman
This provides a mechanism for the server to expose custom functionality to clients. My particular use case is that I would like a way of discovering all repositories available for cloning. A client that clones via git clone user@example.com can invoke a command by ssh user@example.com $command Signed-off-by: Greg Brockman <gdb@mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2009-06-27Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()Thomas Rast
Change calls to die(..., strerror(errno)) to use the new die_errno(). In the process, also make slight style adjustments: at least state _something_ about the function that failed (instead of just printing the pathname), and put paths in single quotes.

2008-08-29make git-shell paranoid about closed stdin/stdout/stderrPaolo Bonzini
It is in general unsafe to start a program with one or more of file descriptors 0/1/2 closed. Karl Chen for example noticed that stat_command does this in order to rename a pipe file descriptor to 0: dup2(from, 0); close(from); ... but if stdin was closed (for example) from == 0, so that dup2(0, 0); close(0); just ends up closing the pipe. Another extremely rare but nasty problem would occur if an "important" file ends up in file descriptor 2, and is corrupted by a call to die(). Fixing this in git was considered to be overkill, so this patch works around it only for git-shell. The fix is simply to open all the "low" descriptors to /dev/null in main.

2008-08-26Revert "Build-in "git-shell""Junio C Hamano
This reverts commit daa0cc9a92c9c2c714aa5f7da6d0ff65b93e0698. It was a stupid idea to do this; when run as a log-in shell, it is spawned with argv[0] set to "-git-shell", so the usual name-based dispatch would not work to begin with.
2008-08-20Build-in "git-shell"Junio C Hamano
This trivially makes "git-shell" a built-in. It makes the executable even fatter, though. And MinGW removed git-shell only because of the funny dependencies; there is no reason to do so anymore.

2008-07-26Record the command invocation path earlyJohannes Sixt
We will need the command invocation path in system_path(). This path was passed to setup_path(), but system_path() can be called earlier, for example via: main commit_pager_choice setup_pager git_config git_etc_gitconfig system_path Therefore, we introduce git_set_argv0_path() and call it as soon as possible.

2008-06-28shrink git-shell by avoiding redundant dependenciesDmitry Potapov
A lot of modules that have nothing to do with git-shell functionality were linked in, bloating git-shell more than 8 times. This patch cuts off redundant dependencies by: 1. providing stubs for three functions that make no sense for git-shell; 2. moving quote_path_fully from environment.c to quote.c to make the later self sufficient; 3. moving make_absolute_path into a new separate file. The following numbers have been received with the default optimization settings on master using GCC 4.1.2: Before: text data bss dec hex filename 143915 1348 93168 238431 3a35f git-shell After: text data bss dec hex filename 17670 788 8232 26690 6842 git-shell Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2007-10-16Support cvs via git-shellJohannes Schindelin
This adds cvs support to the git-shell; You can now give new users a restricted git-shell and they still can commit via git's cvs emulator. Note that either the gecos information must be accurate, or you must provide a $HOME/.gitconfig with the appropriate user credentials. Since the git-shell is too restricted to allow the user to do it (on purpose!), it is up to the administrator to take care of that. Based on an idea by Jan Wielemaker.

2007-02-21Mechanical conversion to use prefixcmp()Junio C Hamano
This mechanically converts strncmp() to use prefixcmp(), but only when the parameters match specific patterns, so that they can be verified easily. Leftover from this will be fixed in a separate step, including idiotic conversions like if (!strncmp("foo", arg, 3)) => if (!(-prefixcmp(arg, "foo"))) This was done by using this script in px.perl #!/usr/bin/perl -i.bak -p if (/strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)/ && (length($2) == $3)) { s|strncmp\(([^,]+), "([^\\"]*)", (\d+)\)|prefixcmp($1, "$2")|; } if (/strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)/ && (length($1) == $3)) { s|strncmp\("([^\\"]*)", ([^,]+), (\d+)\)|(-prefixcmp($2, "$1"))|; } and running: $ git grep -l strncmp -- '*.c' | xargs perl px.perl Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

2006-01-14Exec git programs without using PATH.Michal Ostrowski
The git suite may not be in PATH (and thus programs such as git-send-pack could not exec git-rev-list). Thus there is a need for logic that will locate these programs. Modifying PATH is not desirable as it result in behavior differing from the user's intentions, as we may end up prepending "/usr/bin" to PATH. - git C programs will use exec*_git_cmd() APIs to exec sub-commands. - exec*_git_cmd() will execute a git program by searching for it in the following directories: 1. --exec-path (as used by "git") 2. The GIT_EXEC_PATH environment variable. 3. $(gitexecdir) as set in Makefile (default value $(bindir)). - git wrapper will modify PATH as before to enable shell scripts to invoke "git-foo" commands. Ideally, shell scripts should use the git wrapper to become independent of PATH, and then modifying PATH will not be necessary.
