remote: don't resolve HEAD in non-repository

2016-03-07T01:18:40Z

The remote-config code wants to look at HEAD to mark the current branch specially. But if we are not in a repository (e.g., running "git archive --remote"), this makes no sense; there is no HEAD to look at, and we have no current branch. This doesn't really cause any bugs in practice (if you are not in a repo, you probably don't have a .git/HEAD file), but we should be more careful about triggering the refs code at all in a non-repo. As we grow new ref backends, we would not even know which backend to use. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

The internal API to interact with "remote.*" configuration variables has been streamlined. * tg/git-remote: remote: use remote_is_configured() for add and rename remote: actually check if remote exits remote: simplify remote_is_configured() remote: use parse_config_key

use st_add and st_mult for allocation size computation

2016-02-22T22:51:09Z

If our size computation overflows size_t, we may allocate a much smaller buffer than we expected and overflow it. It's probably impossible to trigger an overflow in most of these sites in practice, but it is easy enough convert their additions and multiplications into overflow-checking variants. This may be fixing real bugs, and it makes auditing the code easier. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

convert trivial cases to FLEX_ARRAY macros

2016-02-22T22:51:09Z

Using FLEX_ARRAY macros reduces the amount of manual computation size we have to do. It also ensures we don't overflow size_t, and it makes sure we write the same number of bytes that we allocated. Signed-off-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

remote: simplify remote_is_configured()

2016-02-16T21:33:12Z

The remote_is_configured() function allows checking whether a remote exists or not. The function however only works if remote_get() wasn't called before calling it. In addition, it only checks the configuration for remotes, but not remotes or branches files. Make use of the origin member of struct remote instead, which indicates where the remote comes from. It will be set to some value if the remote is configured in any file in the repository, but is initialized to 0 if the remote is only created in make_remote().

remote: use parse_config_key

2016-02-16T21:33:12Z

95b567c7 ("use skip_prefix to avoid repeating strings") transformed calls using starts_with() and then skipping the length of the prefix to skip_prefix() calls. In remote.c there are a few calls like: if (starts_with(foo, "bar")) foo += 3 These calls weren't touched by the aformentioned commit, but can be replaced by calls to parse_config_key(), to simplify the code and clarify the intentions. Do that. Helped-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Thomas Gummerer Reviewed-by: Jeff King Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

Merge branch 'aw/push-force-with-lease-reporting'

2016-02-10T22:20:08Z

"git push --force-with-lease" has been taught to report if the push needed to force (or fast-forwarded). * aw/push-force-with-lease-reporting: push: fix ref status reporting for --force-with-lease

Merge branch 'kf/http-proxy-auth-methods'

2016-02-03T22:16:08Z

New http.proxyAuthMethod configuration variable can be used to specify what authentication method to use, as a way to work around proxies that do not give error response expected by libcurl when CURLAUTH_ANY is used. Also, the codepath for proxy authentication has been taught to use credential API to store the authentication material in user's keyrings. * kf/http-proxy-auth-methods: http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication http: allow selection of proxy authentication method

push: fix ref status reporting for --force-with-lease

2016-02-01T23:03:50Z

The --force--with-lease push option leads to less detailed status information than --force. In particular, the output indicates that a reference was fast-forwarded, even when it was force-updated. Modify the --force-with-lease ref status logic to leverage the --force ref status logic when the "lease" conditions are met. Also, enhance tests to validate output status reporting.
