When a remote server uses git-shell, the client side will
connect to it like:
ssh server "git-upload-pack 'foo.git'"
and we literally exec ("git-upload-pack", "foo.git"). In
early versions of upload-pack and receive-pack, we took a
repository argument and nothing else. But over time they
learned to accept dashed options. If the user passes a
repository name that starts with a dash, the results are
confusing at best (we complain of a bogus option instead of
a non-existent repository) and malicious at worst (the user
can start an interactive pager via "--help").
We could pass "--" to the sub-process to make sure the
user's argument is interpreted as a branch name. I.e.:
git-upload-pack -- -foo.git
But adding "--" automatically would make us inconsistent
with a normal shell (i.e., when git-shell is not in use),
where "-foo.git" would still be an error. For that case, the
client would have to specify the "--", but they can't do so
reliably, as existing versions of git-shell do not allow
more than a single argument.
The simplest thing is to simply disallow "-" at the start of
the repo name argument. This hasn't worked either with or
without git-shell since version 1.0.0, and nobody has
complained.
Note that this patch just applies to do_generic_cmd(), which
runs upload-pack, receive-pack, and upload-archive. There
are two other types of commands that git-shell runs:
- do_cvs_cmd(), but this already restricts the argument to
be the literal string "server"
- admin-provided commands in the git-shell-commands
directory. We'll pass along arbitrary arguments there,
so these commands could have similar problems. But these
commands might actually understand dashed arguments, so
we cannot just block them here. It's up to the writer of
the commands to make sure they are safe. With great
power comes great responsibility.

"git ls-remote" and "git archive --remote" are designed to work

Jan Palus noticed that some here-doc are spelled incorrectly,
resulting the entire remainder of the test snippet being slurped
into the "expect" file as if it were data, e.g. in this sequence
cat >expect <<EOF &&
... expectation ...
EOF
git $cmd_being_tested >actual &&
test_cmp expect actual
the last command of the test is "cat" that sends everything to
'expect' and succeeds.
Fixing these issues in t7004 and t7030 reveals that "git tag -v"
and "git verify-tag" with their --format option do not work as the
test was expecting originally. Instead of showing both valid tags
and tags with incorrect signatures on their output, tags that do not
pass verification are omitted from the output. Another breakage that
is uncovered is that these tests must be restricted to environment
where gpg is available.
Arguably, that is a safer behaviour, and because the format
specifiers like %(tag) do not have a way to show if the signature
verifies correctly, the command with the --format option cannot be
used to get a list of tags annotated with their signature validity
anyway.
For now, let's fix the here-doc syntax, update the expectation to
match the reality, and update the test prerequisite.
Maybe later when we extend the --format language available to "git
tag -v" and "git verify-tag" to include things like "%(gpg:status)",
we may want to change the behaviour so that piping a list of tag
names into
xargs git verify-tag --format='%(gpg:status) %(tag)'
becomes a good way to produce such a list, but that is a separate
topic.

There are three issues with the test:
* The syntax of the here-doc was wrong, such that the entire test was
sucked into the here-doc, which is why the test succeeded.
* The variable $submodulesha1 was not expanded as it was inside a quoted
here text. We do not want to quote EOF marker for this.
* The redirection from the git command to the output file for comparison
was wrong as the -C operator from git doesn't apply to the redirect path.
Also we're interested in stderr of that command.
