submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules values In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the worktree). The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read .gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed. It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each requested commit. This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about submodule configurations. Example use cases are: * Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before this configuration exists in the worktree. * The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a revision that is not checked out. * 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that revision.

submodule-config: verify submodule names as paths Submodule "names" come from the untrusted .gitmodules file, but we blindly append them to $GIT_DIR/modules to create our on-disk repo paths. This means you can do bad things by putting "../" into the name (among other things). Let's sanity-check these names to avoid building a path that can be exploited. There are two main decisions: 1. What should the allowed syntax be? It's tempting to reuse verify_path(), since submodule names typically come from in-repo paths. But there are two reasons not to: a. It's technically more strict than what we need, as we really care only about breaking out of the $GIT_DIR/modules/ hierarchy. E.g., having a submodule named "foo/.git" isn't actually dangerous, and it's possible that somebody has manually given such a funny name. b. Since we'll eventually use this checking logic in fsck to prevent downstream repositories, it should be consistent across platforms. Because verify_path() relies on is_dir_sep(), it wouldn't block "foo\..\bar" on a non-Windows machine. 2. Where should we enforce it? These days most of the .gitmodules reads go through submodule-config.c, so I've put it there in the reading step. That should cover all of the C code. We also construct the name for "git submodule add" inside the git-submodule.sh script. This is probably not a big deal for security since the name is coming from the user anyway, but it would be polite to remind them if the name they pick is invalid (and we need to expose the name-checker to the shell anyway for our test scripts). This patch issues a warning when reading .gitmodules and just ignores the related config entry completely. This will generally end up producing a sensible error, as it works the same as a .gitmodules file which is missing a submodule entry (so "submodule update" will barf, but "git clone --recurse-submodules" will print an error but not abort the clone. There is one minor oddity, which is that we print the warning once per malformed config key (since that's how the config subsystem gives us the entries). So in the new test, for example, the user would see three warnings. That's OK, since the intent is that this case should never come up outside of malicious repositories (and then it might even benefit the user to see the message multiple times). Credit for finding this vulnerability and the proof of concept from which the test script was adapted goes to Etienne Stalmans. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

submodule-config: add helper function to get 'fetch' config from .gitmodules Add a helper function to make it clearer that retrieving 'fetch' configuration from the .gitmodules file is a special case supported solely for backward compatibility purposes. This change removes one direct use of 'config_from_gitmodules' in code not strictly related to submodules, in the effort to communicate better that .gitmodules is not to be used as a mechanism to store arbitrary configuration in the repository that any command can retrieve.

submodule: implement a config API for lookup of .gitmodules values In a superproject some commands need to interact with submodules. They need to query values from the .gitmodules file either from the worktree of from certain revisions. At the moment this is quite hard since a caller would need to read the .gitmodules file from the history and then parse the values. We want to provide an API for this so we have one place to get values from .gitmodules from any revision (including the worktree). The API is realized as a cache which allows us to lazily read .gitmodules configurations by commit into a runtime cache which can then be used to easily lookup values from it. Currently only the values for path or name are stored but it can be extended for any value needed. It is expected that .gitmodules files do not change often between commits. Thats why we lookup the .gitmodules sha1 from a commit and then either lookup an already parsed configuration or parse and cache an unknown one for each sha1. The cache is lazily build on demand for each requested commit. This cache can be used for all purposes which need knowledge about submodule configurations. Example use cases are: * Recursive submodule checkout needs to lookup a submodule name from its path when a submodule first appears. This needs be done before this configuration exists in the worktree. * The implementation of submodule support for 'git archive' needs to lookup the submodule name to generate the archive when given a revision that is not checked out. * 'git fetch' when given the --recurse-submodules=on-demand option (or configuration) needs to lookup submodule names by path from the database rather than reading from the worktree. For new submodule it needs to lookup the name from its path to allow cloning new submodules into the .git folder so they can be checked out without any network interaction when the user does a checkout of that revision.
