remove GOT_ERR_ITER_BUSY from got_commit_graph_iter_start()

Just clear any left-over iteration state and begin a fresh iteration instead of returning GOT_ERR_ITER_BUSY if the caller did not loop through the entire graph. This change currently doesn't matter much since all existing callers only do a single pass over the graph. But it frees up an error code and makes this API more flexible.


Thomas Adam

implement support for keywords as got <commit> arguments

This begins enabling the use of keywords in got wherever commit ids or references are used, with more work intended to expand support across all such instances (e.g., branch, checkout, etc.), and add more keywords. The keywords ":base" and ":head" can be passed to 'got {diff,log,update} -c' commands as a substitute for the corresponding commit hash id. Keywords and references can also be modified by appending a ':+' or ':-' and an optional integer N to specify by first parent traversal the Nth generation descendant or antecedent, respectively. If N is omitted, a '1' is implicitly appended. tweaks + ok op and stsp


Thomas Adam

add an initial implementation of gotadmin load

it is intended to be the counterpart of `gotadmin dump' and, just like it, there's planned support for handling fast-import stream. At the moment it only deals with git bundles. ok stsp


Thomas Adam

reword user-facing error message which mentions "fast-forward"

For user-facing messages it is better to avoid technical jargon like this and instead spell out what the fast-forward situation implies: that one branch is already based on another. ok jamsek


Thomas Adam

retire GOT_ERR_QUERYSTRING

it's redundant with GOT_ERR_BAD_QUERYSTRING; convert its only use to the latter.


Thomas Adam

make 'got merge -c' fail even if new changes only affect unrelated paths

Otherwise, 'got merge -c' can silently revert already committed changes. Also fix GOT_ERR_MERGE_COMMIT_OUT_OF_DATE by giving it a value distinct from GOT_ERR_MERGE_STAGED_PATHS. Patch by James Cook

require gotsh to exist if the repository is listed in gotd.conf

portable: configure: split out dependencies

Rather than assume all dependencies are required for all programs, split them out. This will make packaging easier, as well as splitting the code to use subprojects. Note that due to the use of config.h semantics, in most cases the got_compat.h header file is now at the top of the .c file it is included in, so that it can handle the system header inclusion properly.

got: drop commit -A $GOT_AUTHOR restriction

As discussed with op and stsp on irc, this prevents the valid case of changing a commit's author to yourself during a histedit operation, and potentially blocks other valid use cases too. ok stsp@ and op@


Thomas Adam

introduce got_error_checksum

ok stsp@


Thomas Adam

make 'got rebase' work when the to-be-rebased branch has no parent commit

found by and ok op@, who also provided the test case


Thomas Adam

move "unix" pledge promise from gotd parent to auth process

The listen process now communicates the client UID/GID to the parent, and the auth process verifies this on behalf of the parent. This allows us to remove the "unix" pledge promise from the parent, removing parent access to syscalls such as listen() and accept() in the AF_UNIX domain. ok tracey@ op@


Thomas Adam

require space between commit author name and email, for Git compatibility

Allowing such author fields breaks 'got send' towards Github for affected commits because git-index-pack --strict will error out on the server: $ git index-pack --strict pack-de791fb6a3a1961e44ac5d98d72fd533bf9277c8.pack error: object 5d6bde9eaaf27f41ae8fa7112bb45e489d3c16b9: missingSpaceBeforeEmail: invalid author/committer line - missing space before email fatal: fsck error in packed object problem encountered by landry@ ok op@


Thomas Adam

introduce gotd(8), a Git repository server reachable via ssh(1)

This is an initial barebones implementation which provides the absolute minimum of functionality required to serve got(1) and git(1) clients. Basic fetch/send functionality has been tested and seems to work here, but this server is not yet expected to be stable. More testing is welcome. See the man pages for setup instructions. The current design uses one reader and one writer process per repository, which will have to be extended to N readers and N writers in the future. At startup, each process will chroot(2) into its assigned repository. This works because gotd(8) can only be started as root, and will then fork+exec, chroot, and privdrop. At present the parent process runs with the following pledge(2) promises: "stdio rpath wpath cpath proc getpw sendfd recvfd fattr flock unix unveil" The parent is the only process able to modify the repository in a way that becomes visible to Git clients. The parent uses unveil(2) to restrict its view of the filesystem to /tmp and the repositories listed in the configuration file gotd.conf(5). Per-repository chroot(2) processes use "stdio rpath sendfd recvfd". The writer defers to the parent for modifying references in the repository to point at newly uploaded commits. The reader is fine without such help, because Git repositories can be read without having to create any lock-files. gotd(8) requires a dedicated user ID, which should own repositories on the filesystem, and a separate secondary group, which should not have filesystem-level repository access, and must be allowed access to the gotd(8) socket. To obtain Git repository access, users must be members of this secondary group, and must have their login shell set to gotsh(1). gotsh(1) connects to the gotd(8) socket and speaks Git-protocol towards the client on the other end of the SSH connection. gotsh(1) is not an interactive command shell. At present, authenticated clients are granted read/write access to all repositories and all references (except for the "refs/got/" and the "refs/remotes/" namespaces, which are already being protected from modification). While complicated access control mechanism are not a design goal, making it possible to safely offer anonymous Git repository access over ssh(1) is on the road map.

disallow integrating into references outside refs/heads/

Spotted by stsp@ while considering a feature request for cmd_integrate. ok stsp@

got commit: add flag to specify the author

This adds a new flag, `got commit -A', that allows to specify the commit author but retains the "committer" (which is obtained as usual via GOT_AUTHOR, got.conf or git config.) with lots of help from and ok stsp


Thomas Adam

mark got_error_fmt as printf-like and fix the arisen errors

ok stsp@


Thomas Adam

fix tag signing when the key file does not exist

This should fail without creating any tag. Before, ssh-keygen(1) would print an error to stderr, but got would create an unsigned tag. ok op@


Thomas Adam

create and verify tags signed by SSH keys

This adds a new -s flag to 'got tag' that specifies the signer identity (for example, a key file) of the tagger. The tag object will include a signature that validates each of the tag object headers and the tag message. Verifying these signed tags requires maintaining an allowed signers file which maps signer identities (i.e. the email address of the tagger) to SSH public keys. See ssh-keygen(1) for more details of the allowed signers file. After creating this file and providing the path to it in got.conf(5) using the allowed_signers option, tags may be verified using with 'got tag -V tag_name'. The return code will be non-zero if a signature fails to verify. ok stsp@

implement support for commit coloring in got-read-pack for speed

Thomas Adam

augment patch progress callback with hunks info; recover from errors

Augment got_patch_progress_cb by providing the hunks that were applied with offset (or that failed) and the recoverable error encountered during the operation (bad status, missing file, ...) got_patch now proceeds when a file fails to be patched and exits with GOT_ERR_PATCH_FAILED if no other errors are encountered. While here, also add a test for the 'hunk applied with offset' case and shrink test_patch_dont_apply and illegal_status by taking advantage that 'got patch' doesn't stop at the first error. (And add some other cases to illegal_status too.) discussed with and ok stsp@


Thomas Adam

refactor apply_patch to support renaming files

add two helper functions (schedule_add, schedule_del) and move the guts of apply_patch into a new function `patch_file'. This simplifies apply_patch and makes easier to figure out what happens. Then, drop GOT_ERR_PATCH_PATHS_DIFFER since we allow the to rename files.
