tests: disable fsync everywhere

2021-10-29T17:22:40Z

The "GIT_TEST_FSYNC" environment variable now exists for disabling fsync() even on packfiles and other "critical" data. Running "make test -j8 NO_SVN_TESTS=1" on a noisy 8-core system on an HDD, test runtime drops from ~4 minutes down to ~3 minutes. Using "GIT_TEST_FSYNC=1" re-enables fsync() for comparison purposes. SVN interopability tests are minimally affected since SVN will still use fsync in various places. This will also be useful for 3rd-party tools which create throwaway git repositories of temporary data, but remains undocumented for end users. Signed-off-by: Eric Wong Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-cvsserver: protect against NULL in crypt(3)

2021-09-17T03:47:23Z

Some versions of crypt(3) will return NULL when passed an unsupported hash type (ex: OpenBSD with DES), so check for undef instead of using it directly. Also use this to probe the system and select a better hash function in the tests, so it can pass successfully. Signed-off-by: Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón [jc: ] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-cvsserver: use crypt correctly to compare password hashes

2021-09-16T22:06:24Z

c057bad370 (git-cvsserver: use a password file cvsserver pserver, 2010-05-15) adds a way for `git cvsserver` to provide authenticated pserver accounts without having clear text passwords, but uses the username instead of the password to the call for crypt(3). Correct that, and make sure the documentation correctly indicates how to obtain hashed passwords that could be used to populate this configuration, as well as correcting the hash that was used for the tests. This change will require that any user of this feature updates the hashes in their configuration, but has the advantage of using a more similar format than cvs uses, probably also easying any migration.

*: fix typos which duplicate a word

2021-06-14T01:16:06Z

Fix typos in documentation, code comments, and RelNotes which repeat various words. In trivial cases, just delete the duplicated word and rewrap text, if needed. Reword the affected sentence in Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.4.txt for it to make sense. Signed-off-by: Andrei Rybak Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

git-cvsserver: port to SHA-256

2020-06-22T18:21:07Z

The code of git-cvsserver currently has several hard-coded 20 and 40 constants that are the length of SHA-1. When parsing the configuration file, read the extensions.objectformat configuration setting as well as CVS-related ones and adjust the hash sizes accordingly. Use these computed values in all the places we match object IDs. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson Acked-by: Eric Wong Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

cvsserver: use safe_pipe_capture for `constant commands` as well

2017-09-11T05:52:29Z

This is not strictly necessary, but it is a good code hygiene. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

cvsserver: use safe_pipe_capture instead of backticks

2017-09-11T05:52:29Z

This makes the script pass arguments that are derived from end-user input in safer way when invoking subcommands. Reported-by: joernchen Signed-off-by: joernchen Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

cvsserver: move safe_pipe_capture() to the main package

2017-09-11T05:52:29Z

As a preparation for replacing `command` with a call to this function from outside GITCVS::updater package, move it to the main package. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
