Path validation may be influenced by `core.protectHFS` and
`core.protectNTFS` configuration settings, thus treebuilders
can take a repository to influence their configuration.
HFS filesystems ignore some characters like U+200C. When these
characters are included in a path, they will be ignored for the
purposes of comparison with other paths. Thus, if you have a ".git"
folder, a folder of ".git<U+200C>" will also match. Protect our
".git" folder by ensuring that ".git<U+200C>" and friends do not match it.
Disallow:
1. paths with trailing dot
2. paths with trailing space
3. paths with trailing colon
4. paths that are 8.3 short names of .git folders ("GIT~1")
5. paths that are reserved path names (COM1, LPT1, etc).
6. paths with reserved DOS characters (colons, asterisks, etc)
These paths would (without \\?\ syntax) be elided to other paths - for
example, ".git." would be written as ".git". As a result, writing these
paths literally (using \\?\ syntax) makes them hard to operate with from
the shell, Windows Explorer or other tools. Disallow these.
When turning UTF-8 paths into UCS-2 paths for Windows, always use
the \\?\-prefixed paths. Because this bypasses the system's
path canonicalization, handle the canonicalization functions ourselves.
We must:
1. always use a backslash as a directory separator
2. only use a single backslash between directories
3. not rely on the system to translate "." and ".." in paths
4. remove trailing backslashes, except at the drive root (C:\)
We do not currently generate any messages when we're counting the
objects, as might be expected from a local upload-pack. Assert that we
do call the function when working.
This option does not get persisted to disk, which makes it different
from the rest of the setters. Remove it until we go all the way.
We still respect the configuration option, and it's still possible to
perform a one-time prune by calling the function.
For each remote-tracking branch we want to remove, we need to consider
it against every other refspec in case we have overlapping refspecs,
such as with
refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*
as we'd otherwise remove too many refspecs.
Create a list of condidates, which are the references matching the rhs
of any active refspec and then filter that list by removing those
entries for which we find a remove reference with any active
refspec. Those which are left after this are removed.
This is hiding a bug in the prune code, whereby we prune references we
shouldn't but don't notice it in the code afterwards because
update_tips() recreates them.
This means that we do perform changes to the references (and get rid of
the reflogs) when we shouldn't.
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.
