Merge branch 'jc/fsck-retire-require-eoh'

2015-07-13T21:00:24+00:00

A fix to a minor regression to "git fsck" in v2.2 era that started
complaining about a body-less tag object when it lacks a separator
empty line after its header to separate it with a non-existent body.

* jc/fsck-retire-require-eoh:
  fsck: it is OK for a tag and a commit to lack the body

fsck: it is OK for a tag and a commit to lack the body

2015-06-28T21:47:28+00:00

When fsck validates a commit or a tag, it scans each line in the
header of the object using helper functions such as "start_with()",
etc. that work on a NUL terminated buffer, but before a1e920a0
(index-pack: terminate object buffers with NUL, 2014-12-08), the
validation functions were fed the object data in a piece of memory
that is not necessarily terminated with a NUL.

We added a helper function require_end_of_header() to be called at
the beginning of these validation functions to insist that the
object data contains an empty line before its end.  The theory is
that the validating functions will notice and stop when it hits an
empty line as a normal end of header (or a required header line that
is missing) without scanning past the end of potentially not
NUL-terminated buffer.

But the theory forgot that in the older days, Git itself happily
created objects with only the header lines without a body. This
caused Git 2.2 and later to issue an unnecessary warning in some
existing repositories.

With a1e920a0, we do not need to require an empty line (or the body)
in these objects to safely parse and validate them.  Drop the
offending "must have an empty line" check from this helper function,
while keeping the other check to make sure that there is no NUL in
the header part of the object, and adjust the name of the helper to
what it does accordingly.

fsck: complain about NTFS ".git" aliases in trees

2014-12-17T19:04:45+00:00

Now that the index can block pathnames that can be mistaken
to mean ".git" on NTFS and FAT32, it would be helpful for
fsck to notice such problematic paths. This lets servers
which use receive.fsckObjects block them before the damage
spreads.

Note that the fsck check is always on, even for systems
without core.protectNTFS set. This is technically more
restrictive than we need to be, as a set of users on ext4
could happily use these odd filenames without caring about
NTFS.

However, on balance, it's helpful for all servers to block
these (because the paths can be used for mischief, and
servers which bother to fsck would want to stop the spread
whether they are on NTFS themselves or not), and hardly
anybody will be affected (because the blocked names are
variants of .git or git~1, meaning mischief is almost
certainly what the tree author had in mind).

Ideally these would be controlled by a separate
"fsck.protectNTFS" flag. However, it would be much nicer to
be able to enable/disable _any_ fsck flag individually, and
any scheme we choose should match such a system. Given the
likelihood of anybody using such a path in practice, it is
not unreasonable to wait until such a system materializes.

fsck: complain about HFS+ ".git" aliases in trees

Now that the index can block pathnames that case-fold to
".git" on HFS+, it would be helpful for fsck to notice such
problematic paths. This lets servers which use
receive.fsckObjects block them before the damage spreads.

Note that the fsck check is always on, even for systems
without core.protectHFS set. This is technically more

However, on balance, it's helpful for all servers to block
these (because the paths can be used for mischief, and
servers which bother to fsck would want to stop the spread
whether they are on HFS+ themselves or not), and hardly
anybody will be affected (because the blocked names are
variants of .git with invisible Unicode code-points mixed
in, meaning mischief is almost certainly what the tree
author had in mind).

Ideally these would be controlled by a separate
"fsck.protectHFS" flag. However, it would be much nicer to

fsck: notice .git case-insensitively

2014-12-17T19:04:39+00:00

We complain about ".git" in a tree because it cannot be
loaded into the index or checked out. Since we now also
reject ".GIT" case-insensitively, fsck should notice the
same, so that errors do not propagate.
