Fix `GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES` with `C:\` and the likes

2022-03-23T23:21:08Z

When determining the length of the longest ancestor of a given path with respect to to e.g. `GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES`, we special-case the root directory by returning 0 (i.e. we pretend that the path `/` does not end in a slash by virtually stripping it). That is the correct behavior because when normalizing paths, the root directory is special: all other directory paths have their trailing slash stripped, but not the root directory's path (because it would become the empty string, which is not a legal path). However, this special-casing of the root directory in `longest_ancestor_length()` completely forgets about Windows-style root directories, e.g. `C:\`. These _also_ get normalized with a trailing slash (because `C:` would actually refer to the current directory on that drive, not necessarily to its root directory). In fc56c7b34b (mingw: accomodate t0060-path-utils for MSYS2, 2016-01-27), we almost got it right. We noticed that `longest_ancestor_length()` expects a slash _after_ the matched prefix, and if the prefix already ends in a slash, the normalized path won't ever match and -1 is returned. But then that commit went astray: The correct fix is not to adjust the _tests_ to expect an incorrect -1 when that function is fed a prefix that ends in a slash, but instead to treat such a prefix as if the trailing slash had been removed. Likewise, that function needs to handle the case where it is fed a path that ends in a slash (not only a prefix that ends in a slash): if it matches the prefix (plus trailing slash), we still need to verify that the path does not end there, otherwise the prefix is not actually an ancestor of the path but identical to it (and we need to return -1 in that case). With these two adjustments, we no longer need to play games in t0060 where we only add `$rootoff` if the passed prefix is different from the MSYS2 pseudo root, instead we also add it for the MSYS2 pseudo root itself. We do have to be careful to skip that logic entirely for Windows paths, though, because they do are not subject to that MSYS2 pseudo root treatment. This patch fixes the scenario where a user has set `GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES=C:\`, which would be ignored otherwise. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory

2022-03-21T12:16:26Z

It poses a security risk to search for a git directory outside of the directories owned by the current user. For example, it is common e.g. in computer pools of educational institutes to have a "scratch" space: a mounted disk with plenty of space that is regularly swiped where any authenticated user can create a directory to do their work. Merely navigating to such a space with a Git-enabled `PS1` when there is a maliciously-crafted `/scratch/.git/` can lead to a compromised account. The same holds true in multi-user setups running Windows, as `C:\` is writable to every authenticated user by default. To plug this vulnerability, we stop Git from accepting top-level directories owned by someone other than the current user. We avoid looking at the ownership of each and every directories between the current and the top-level one (if there are any between) to avoid introducing a performance bottleneck. This new default behavior is obviously incompatible with the concept of shared repositories, where we expect the top-level directory to be owned by only one of its legitimate users. To re-enable that use case, we add support for adding exceptions from the new default behavior via the config setting `safe.directory`. The `safe.directory` config setting is only respected in the system and global configs, not from repository configs or via the command-line, and can have multiple values to allow for multiple shared repositories. We are particularly careful to provide a helpful message to any user trying to use a shared repository. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

Add a function to determine whether a path is owned by the current user

2022-03-21T12:16:26Z

This function will be used in the next commit to prevent `setup_git_directory()` from discovering a repository in a directory that is owned by someone other than the current user. Note: We cannot simply use `st.st_uid` on Windows just like we do on Linux and other Unix-like platforms: according to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/stat-functions this field is always zero on Windows (because Windows' idea of a user ID does not fit into a single numerical value). Therefore, we have to do something a little involved to replicate the same functionality there. Also note: On Windows, a user's home directory is not actually owned by said user, but by the administrator. For all practical purposes, it is under the user's control, though, therefore we pretend that it is owned by the user. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin

mingw: avoid fallback for {local,gm}time_r()

2022-03-17T11:52:12Z

mingw-w64's pthread_unistd.h had a bug that mistakenly (because there is no support for the *lockfile() functions required[1]) defined _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS and that was being worked around since 3ecd153a3b (compat/mingw: support MSys2-based MinGW build, 2016-01-14). The bug was fixed in winphtreads, but as a side effect, leaves the reentrant functions from time.h no longer visible and therefore breaks the build. Since the intention all along was to avoid using the fallback functions, formalize the use of POSIX by setting the corresponding feature flag and compile out the implementation for the fallback functions.
