Remote objects are not meant to be changed from under the user. We did
this in rename, but only the name and left the refspecs, such that a
save would save the wrong refspecs (and a fetch and anything else would
use the wrong refspecs).
Instead, let's simply take a name and not change any loaded remote from
under the user.
This function does not in fact tell us anything, as almost anything with
a colon in it is a valid rsync-style SSH path; it can not tell us that
we do not support ftp or afp or similar as those are still valid SSH
paths and we do support that.
We don't need the remote loaded, and the function extracted both of
these from the git_remote in order to do its work, so let's remote a
step and not ask for the loaded remote at all.
This fixes#2390.
With opportunistic ref updates, git has introduced the concept of having
base refspecs *and* refspecs that are active for a particular fetch.
Let's start by letting the user override the refspecs for download.
This option make it easy to ignore anything about the server we're
connecting to, which is bad security practice. This was necessary as we
didn't use to expose detailed information about the certificate, but now
that we do, we should get rid of this.
If the user wants to ignore everything, they can still provide a
callback which ignores all the information passed.
If the certificate validation fails (or always in the case of ssh),
let the user decide whether to allow the connection.
The data structure passed to the user is the native certificate
information from the underlying implementation, namely OpenSSL or
WinHTTP.
It does the same as git_remote_supported_url() but has a name which
implies we'd check the URL for correctness while we're simply looking at
the scheme and looking it up in our lists.
While here, fix up the tests so we check all the combination of what's
supported.
* Move the transport registration mechanisms into a new header under
'sys/' because this is advanced stuff.
* Remove the 'priority' argument from the registration as it adds
unnecessary complexity. (Since transports cannot decline to operate,
only the highest priority transport is ever executed.) Users who
require per-priority transports can implement that in their custom
transport themselves.
* Simplify registration further by taking a scheme (eg "http") instead
of a prefix (eg "http://").
git_remote_set_transport now takes a transport factory rather than a transport
git_clone_options now allows the caller to specify a remote creation callback
There is no reason why we need to use a callback here. A string array
fits better with the usage, as this is not an event and we don't need
anything from the user.
Allow the credentials callback to return GIT_PASSTHROUGH to make the
transports code behave as though none was set.
This should make it easier for bindings to behave closer to the C code
when there is no credentials callback set at their level.
The order in this function is the opposite to what
create_with_fetchspec() has, so change this one, as url-then-refspec is
what git does.
As we need to break compilation and the swap doesn't do that, let's take
this opportunity to rename in-memory remotes to anonymous as that's
really what sets them apart.
The callback-based method of listing remote references dates back to the
beginning of the network code's lifetime, when we didn't know any
better.
We need to keep the list around for update_tips() after disconnect() so
let's make use of this to simply give the user a pointer to the array so
they can write straightforward code instead of having to go through a
callback.
Removing arbitrary refspecs makes things more complex to reason
about. Instead, let the user set the fetch and push refspec list to
whatever they want it to be.
The correct behaviour when a remote has no refspecs (e.g. a URL from the
command-line) is to download the remote's HEAD. Let's do that.
This fixes#1261.
