refs.c: make sure leading directories exist before writing a ref.

2005-12-08T01:48:53Z

Otherwise cloning a repository with hierarchical branch/tag over http would fail. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Do not DWIM in userpath library under strict mode.

2005-11-20T04:50:38Z

This should force git-daemon administrator's job a bit harder because the exact paths need to be given in the whitelist, but at the same time makes the auditing easier. This moves validate_symref() from refs.c to path.c, because we need to link path.c with git-daemon for its "enter_repo()", but we do not want to link the daemon with the rest of git libraries and its requirements.

Add config variable core.symrefsonly

2005-11-15T19:42:29Z

This allows you to force git to avoid symlinks for refs. Just add something like [core] symrefsonly = true to .git/config. Don´t forget to "git checkout your_branch", or it does not do anything... Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

create_symref: if symlink fails, fall back to writing a "symbolic ref"

2005-10-26T06:46:15Z

There are filesystems out there which do not understand symlinks, even if the OS is perfectly capable of writing them. So, do not fail right away, but try to write a symbolic ref first. If that fails, you can die(). Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-check-ref-format: reject funny ref names.

2005-10-15T18:23:39Z

Update check_ref_format() function to reject ref names that: * has a path component that begins with a ".", or * has a double dots "..", or * has ASCII control character, "~", "^", ":" or SP, anywhere, or * ends with a "/". Use it in 'git-checkout -b', 'git-branch', and 'git-tag' to make sure that newly created refs are well-formed. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Unlocalized isspace and friends

2005-10-15T00:17:27Z

Do our own ctype.h, just to get the sane semantics: we want locale-independence, _and_ we want the right signed behaviour. Plus we only use a very small subset of ctype.h anyway (isspace, isalpha, isdigit and isalnum). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

[PATCH] Fix symbolic ref validation

2005-10-05T17:50:59Z

Use the correct buffer when validating 'ref: refs/...' Signed-off-by: Jonas Fonseca Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Add git-symbolic-ref

2005-10-02T06:19:33Z

This adds the counterpart of git-update-ref that lets you read and create "symbolic refs". By default it uses a symbolic link to represent ".git/HEAD -> refs/heads/master", but it can be compiled to use the textfile symbolic ref. The places that did 'readlink .git/HEAD' and 'ln -s refs/heads/blah .git/HEAD' have been converted to use new git-symbolic-ref command, so that they can deal with either implementation.

Use resolve_ref() to implement read_ref().

2005-10-02T06:19:33Z

Symbolic refs are understood by resolve_ref(), so existing read_ref() users will automatically understand them as well. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

[PATCH] Allow reading "symbolic refs" that point to other refs

2005-10-02T06:19:32Z

This extends the ref reading to understand a "symbolic ref": a ref file that starts with "ref: " and points to another ref file, and thus introduces the notion of ref aliases. This is in preparation of allowing HEAD to eventually not be a symlink, but one of these symbolic refs instead. [jc: Linus originally required the prefix to be "ref: " five bytes and nothing else, but I changed it to allow and strip any number of leading whitespaces to match what update-ref.c does.] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
