Most of the network-facing facilities have been copied to the socket and
openssl streams. No code now uses these functions directly anymore, so
we can now remove them.
Having an ssh stream would require extra work for stream capabilities we
don't need anywhere else (oob auth and command execution) so for now
let's move away from the gitno connection to use socket_stream.
We can introduce an ssh stream interface if and as we need it.
This unfortunately isn't as stackable as could be possible, as it
hard-codes the socket stream. This is because the method of using a
custom openssl BIO is not clear, and we do not need this for now. We can
still bring this in if and as we need it.
We currently have gitno for talking over TCP, but this needs to know
about both plaintext and OpenSSL connections and the code has gotten
somewhat messy with ifdefs determining which version of the function
should be called.
In order to clean this up and abstract away the details of sending over
the different types of streams, we can instead use an interface and
stack stream implementations.
We may not be able to use the stackability with all streams, but we
are definitely be able to use the abstraction which is currently spread
between different bits of gitno.
A rule can only negate something which was explicitly mentioned in the
rules before it. Change our parsing to ignore a negative rule which does
not negate something mentioned in the rules above it.
While here, fix a wrong allocator usage. The memory for the match string
comes from pool allocator. We must not free it with the general
allocator. We can instead simply forget the string and it will be
cleaned up.
We no longer have NULL strings, but empty ones and duplicate the sides
if necessar, so the first check will never do anything.
While in the area, remove unnecessary ifs and early returns.
There are some combination of objects and target types which we know
cannot be fulfilled. Return EINVALIDSPEC for those to signify that there
is a mismatch in the user-provided data and what the object model is
capable of satisfying.
If we start at a tag and in the course of peeling find out that we
cannot reach a particular type, we return EPEEL.
That's a bad assumption to make, even though right now it holds
(because of the way we've implemented decompression of packfiles),
this may change in the future, given that ODB objects can be
binary data.
Furthermore, the ODB object can return a NULL pointer if the object
is empty. Copying the NULL pointer to the strbuf lets us handle it
like an empty string. Again, the NULL pointer is valid behavior because
you're supposed to check the *size* of the object before working
on it.
This is a contract that we made in the library and that we need to uphold. The
contents of a blob can never be NULL because several parts of the library (including
the filter and attributes code) expect `git_blob_rawcontent` to always return a
valid pointer.
When we fetch twice with the same remote object, we did not properly
clear the connection flags, so we would leak state from the last
connection.
This can cause the second fetch with the same remote object to fail if
using a HTTP URL where the server redirects to HTTPS, as the second
fetch would see `use_ssl` set and think the initial connection wanted to
downgrade the connection.
When attempting to update a reference on a remote during push, and the
reference on the remote refers to a commit that does not exist locally,
then we should report a more clear error message.
