If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
order to get the complete view as intended by the other
side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
exposes them to the attacker).
Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).
We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
effect, it is the only sensible one).
A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
unable to test the file-local code on machines without
apache.

The connection initiation code for "ssh" transport tried to absorb
differences between the stock "ssh" and Putty-supplied "plink" and
its derivatives, but the logic to tell that we are using "plink"
variants were too loose and falsely triggered when "plink" appeared
anywhere in the path (e.g. "/home/me/bin/uplink/ssh").
* bc/connect-plink:
connect: improve check for plink to reduce false positives
t5601: fix quotation error leading to skipped tests
connect: simplify SSH connection code path
The git_connect function has code to handle plink and tortoiseplink
specially, as they require different command line arguments from
OpenSSH (-P instead of -p for ports; tortoiseplink additionally requires
-batch). However, the match was done by checking for "plink" anywhere
in the string, which led to a GIT_SSH value containing "uplink" being
treated as an invocation of putty's plink.
Improve the check by looking for "plink" or "tortoiseplink" (or those
names suffixed with ".exe") only in the final component of the path.
This has the downside that a program such as "plink-0.63" would no
longer be recognized, but the increased robustness is likely worth it.
Add tests to cover these cases to avoid regressions.

When we connect to a git-daemon at a given host and port, we
actually send the string "localhost:9418" to the other side,
which allows it to do virtual-hosting lookups. For testing
and debugging, we'd like to be able to send arbitrary
strings, rather than the hostname we actually connected to.
Using "insteadOf" config does not work for this purpose, as
the hostname determination happens at a very low level,
right before we feed the hostname to our lookup routines.
You could use /etc/hosts or similar to get around this, but
we cannot do that portably from our test suite.
Instead, this patch provides an environment variable that
can be used to send an arbitrary string.

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with a magic number, like:
if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
foo += 3;
This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the
prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the
string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic
numbers here.
Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter.
For example:
if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) {
bar = arg + 6;
continue;
}
could become:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar))
continue;
However, I have left it as:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
bar = v;
continue;
}
to visually match nearby cases which need to actually
process the string. Like:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
bar = atoi(v);
continue;
}

This avoids magic numbers when we allocate fixed-size argv
arrays, and makes it more obvious that we are not
overflowing.
It is also the first step to fixing a memory leak. When
git_connect returns a child_process struct, the argv array
in the struct is dynamically allocated, but the individual
strings are not (they are either owned elsewhere, or are
freed). Later, in finish_connect, we free the array but
leave the strings alone.
This works for the child_process created by git_connect, but
if we use transport_take_over, we may also end up with a
child_process created by transport-helper's get_helper.
In that case, the strings are freshly allocated, and we
would want to free them. However, we have no idea in
finish_connect which type we have.
By consistently using run-command's internal argv-array, we
do not have to worry about this issue at all; finish_command
takes care of it for us, and we can drop our manual free
entirely.
Note that this actually makes the get_helper leak slightly
worse; now we are leaking both the strings and the array.
But when we adjust it in a future patch, that leak will go
away entirely.

- parse out host and path for URLs with a scheme (git:// file:// ssh://)
- parse host names embedded by [] correctly
- extract the port number, if present
- separate URLs like "file" (which are local)
from URLs like "host:repo" which should use ssh

One long-standing flaw in the pack transfer protocol used by "git

"HEAD" points at, and the receiving end needed to guess. A new
capability has been defined in the pack protocol to convey this
information so that cloning from a repository with more than one

reliably sets the initial branch in the resulting repository.

t5505: fix "set-head --auto with ambiguous HEAD" test
commit 6000334 (clone: allow cloning local paths with colons in them -
2013-05-04) made it possible to specify a path that has colons in it
without file://, e.g. ../foo:bar/somewhere. But the check was a bit
sloppy.
Consider the url '[foo]:bar'. The '[]' unwrapping code will turn the
string to 'foo\0:bar'. In effect this new string is the same as
'foo/:bar' in the check "path < strchrnul(host, '/')", which mistakes
it for a local path (with '/' before the first ':') when it's actually
not.
So disable the check for '/' before ':' when the URL has been mangled
by '[]' unwrapping.
