11 years agoterminal: seek when switching between reading and writing
Jeff King [Tue, 7 Aug 2012 04:10:26 +0000 (00:10 -0400)]
terminal: seek when switching between reading and writing

When a stdio stream is opened in update mode (e.g., "w+"),
the C standard forbids switching between reading or writing
without an intervening positioning function. Many
implementations are lenient about this, but Solaris libc
will flush the recently-read contents to the output buffer.
In this instance, that meant writing the non-echoed password
that the user just typed to the terminal.

Fix it by inserting a no-op fseek between the read and
write.

The opposite direction (writing followed by reading) is also
disallowed, but our intervening fflush is an acceptable
positioning function for that alternative.

add generic terminal prompt function

When we need to prompt the user for input interactively, we
want to access their terminal directly. We can't rely on
stdio because it may be connected to pipes or files, rather
than the terminal. Instead, we use "getpass()", because it
abstracts the idea of prompting and reading from the
terminal.  However, it has some problems:

  1. It never echoes the typed characters, which makes it OK
     for passwords but annoying for other input (like usernames).

  2. Some implementations of getpass() have an extremely
     small input buffer (e.g., Solaris 8 is reported to
     support only 8 characters).

  3. Some implementations of getpass() will fall back to
     reading from stdin (e.g., glibc). We explicitly don't
     want this, because our stdin may be connected to a pipe
     speaking a particular protocol, and reading will
     disrupt the protocol flow (e.g., the remote-curl
     helper).

  4. Some implementations of getpass() turn off signals, so
     that hitting "^C" on the terminal does not break out of
     the password prompt. This can be a mild annoyance.

Instead, let's provide an abstract "git_terminal_prompt"
function that addresses these concerns. This patch includes

Jeff King [Sat, 10 Dec 2011 10:31:34 +0000 (05:31 -0500)]
credential: make relevance of http path configurable

When parsing a URL into a credential struct, we carefully
record each part of the URL, including the path on the
remote host, and use the result as part of the credential
context.

This had two practical implications:

  1. Credential helpers which store a credential for later
     access are likely to use the "path" portion as part of
     the storage key. That means that a request to

       https://example.com/foo.git

     would not use the same credential that was stored in an
     earlier request for:

       https://example.com/bar.git

  2. The prompt shown to the user includes all relevant
     context, including the path.

In most cases, however, users will have a single password
per host. The behavior in (1) will be inconvenient, and the
prompt in (2) will be overly long.

This patch introduces a config option to toggle the
relevance of http paths. When turned on, we use the path as
before. When turned off, we drop the path component from the
context: helpers don't see it, and it does not appear in the
prompt.

This is nothing you couldn't do with a clever credential
helper at the start of your stack, like:

  [credential "http://"]
helper = "!f() { grep -v ^path= ; }; f"
helper = your_real_helper

But doing this:

  [credential]
useHttpPath = false

is way easier and more readable. Furthermore, since most
users will want the "off" behavior, that is the new default.

variable which allows the user to provide one or more helper

Rather than simply matching credential.helper, we will also

This is overkill for the "helper" variable, since users are

This patch converts the http code to use the new credential
API, both for http authentication as well as for getting
certificate passwords.

Most of the code change is simply variable naming (the
passwords are now contained inside the credential struct)
or deletion of obsolete code (the credential code handles
URL parsing and prompting for us).

The behavior should be the same, with one exception: the
credential code will prompt with a description based on the
credential components. Therefore, the old prompt of:

  Username for 'example.com':
  Password for 'example.com':

now looks like:

  Username for 'https://example.com/repo.git':
  Password for 'https://user@example.com/repo.git':

Note that we include more information in each line,
specifically:

  1. We now include the protocol. While more noisy, this is
     an important part of knowing what you are accessing
     (especially if you care about http vs https).

  2. We include the username in the password prompt. This is
     not a big deal when you have just been prompted for it,
     but the username may also come from the remote's URL
     (and after future patches, from configuration or
     credential helpers).  In that case, it's a nice
     reminder of the user for which you're giving the
     password.

  3. We include the path component of the URL. In many
     cases, the user won't care about this and it's simply
     noise (i.e., they'll use the same credential for a
     whole site). However, that is part of a larger
     question, which is whether path components should be
     part of credential context, both for prompting and for
     lookup by storage helpers. That issue will be addressed
     as a whole in a future patch.

Similarly, for unlocking certificates, we used to say:

  Certificate Password for 'example.com':

and we now say:

  Password for 'cert:///path/to/certificate':

Showing the path to the client certificate makes more sense,
as that is what you are unlocking, not "example.com".

revert: write REVERT_HEAD pseudoref during conflicted revert

When conflicts are encountered while reverting a commit, it can be
handy to have the name of that commit easily available.  For example,
to produce a copy of the patch to refer to while resolving conflicts:

$ git revert 2eceb2a8
error: could not revert 2eceb2a8... awesome, buggy feature
$ git show -R REVERT_HEAD >the-patch
$ edit $(git diff --name-only)

Set a REVERT_HEAD pseudoref when "git revert" does not make a commit,
for cases like this.  This also makes it possible for scripts to
distinguish between a revert that encountered conflicts and other
sources of an unmerged index.

After successfully committing, resetting with "git reset", or moving
to another commit with "git checkout" or "git reset", the pseudoref is
no longer useful, so remove it.

12 years agorevert: improve error message for cherry-pick during cherry-pick

revert: improve error message for cherry-pick during cherry-pick

In the spirit of v1.6.3.3~3^2 (refuse to merge during a merge,
2009-07-01), "git cherry-pick" refuses to start a new cherry-pick when
in the middle of an existing conflicted cherry-pick in the following
sequence:

 1. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin
 2. resolve conflicts
 3. git cherry-pick HEAD..origin (instead of "git cherry-pick
    --continue", by mistake)

Good.  However, the error message on attempting step 3 is more
convoluted than necessary:

  $ git cherry-pick HEAD..origin
  error: .git/sequencer already exists.
  error: A cherry-pick or revert is in progress.
  hint: Use --continue to continue the operation
  hint: or --quit to forget about it
  fatal: cherry-pick failed

Clarify by removing the redundant first "error:" message, simplifying
the advice, and using lower-case and no full stops to be consistent
with other commands that prefix their messages with "error:", so it
becomes

  error: a cherry-pick or revert is already in progress
  hint: try "git cherry-pick (--continue | --quit)"
  fatal: cherry-pick failed

The "fatal: cherry-pick failed" line seems unnecessary, too, but
that can be fixed some other day.

config.c: Fix a static buffer overwrite bug by avoiding mkpath()

On cygwin, test number 21 of t3200-branch.sh (git branch -m q q2
without config should succeed) fails. The failure involves the
functions from path.c which parcel out internal static buffers
from the git_path() and mkpath() functions.

In particular, the rename_ref() function calls safe_create_leading\
_directories() with a filename returned by git_path("logs/%s", ref).
safe_create_leading_directories(), in turn, calls stat() on each
element of the path it is given. On cygwin, this leads to a call
to git_config() for each component of the path, since this test
explicitly removes the config file. git_config() calls mkpath(), so
on the fourth component of the path, the original buffer passed
into the function is overwritten with the config filename.

Note that this bug is specific to cygwin and it's schizophrenic
stat() functions (see commits adbc0b67faee6b and 7974843). The
lack of a config file and a path with at least four elements is
also important to trigger the bug.

In order to fix the problem, we replace the call to mkpath() with
a call to mksnpath() and provide our own buffer.

automatically for compilers that support it (see v1.7.8-rc0~142^2~1,
2011-08-18), there is no easy way to force it off.  For example,
setting COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES to the empty string in config.mak
just tells the makefile to treat it as undefined and run a test
command to see if the -MMD option is supported.

So allow setting COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=no to explicitly force
the feature off.  The new semantics:

 - "yes" means to explicitly enable the feature
 - "no" means to disable it
 - "auto" means to autodetect

The default is still "auto".  Any value other than these three will
cause the build to error out with a descriptive message so typos and
stale settings in config.mak don't result in mysterious behavior.

Makefile:1278: *** please set COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES to
yes, no, or auto (not "1").  Stop.

So now when someone using a compiler without -MMD support reports
trouble building git, you can reproduce it by running "make
COMPUTE_HEADER_DEPENDENCIES=no".

12 years agohttp: don't always prompt for password
Stefan Naewe [Fri, 4 Nov 2011 07:03:08 +0000 (08:03 +0100)]
http: don't always prompt for password

When a username is already specified at the beginning of any HTTP
transaction (e.g. "git push https://user@hosting.example.com/project.git"
or "git ls-remote https://user@hosting.example.com/project.git"), the code
interactively asks for a password before calling into the libcurl library.
It is very likely that the reason why user included the username in the
URL is because the user knows that it would require authentication to
access the resource. Asking for the password upfront would save one
roundtrip to get a 401 response, getting the password and then retrying
the request. This is a reasonable optimization.

HOWEVER.

This is done even when $HOME/.netrc might have a corresponding entry to
access the site, or the site does not require authentication to access the
resource after all. But neither condition can be determined until we call
into libcurl library (we do not read and parse $HOME/.netrc ourselves). In
these cases, the user is forced to respond to the password prompt, only to
give a password that is not used in the HTTP transaction. If the password
is in $HOME/.netrc, an empty input would later let the libcurl layer to
pick up the password from there, and if the resource does not require
authentication, any input would be taken and then discarded without
getting used. It is wasteful to ask this unused information to the end
user.

Reduce the confusion by not trying to optimize for this case and always
incur roundtrip penalty. An alternative might be to document this and keep
this round-trip optimization as-is.
