Tcl 'open' assigns special meaning to its argument when they begin with
redirection, pipe or background operator. There are many calls of the
'open' variant that runs a process which construct arguments that are
taken from the Git repository or are user input. However, when file
names or ref names are taken from the repository, it is possible to
find names that have these special forms. They must not be interpreted
by 'open' lest it redirects input or output, or attempts to build a
pipeline using a command name controlled by the repository.
Use the helper function make_arglist_safe, which identifies such
arguments and prepends "./" to force such a name to be regarded as a
relative file name.
After this change the following 'open' calls that start a process do not
apply the argument processing:
git-gui.sh:4095: || [catch {set spell_fd [open $spell_cmd r+]} spell_err]} {
lib/spellcheck.tcl:47: set pipe_fd [open [list | $s_prog -v] r]
lib/spellcheck.tcl:133: _connect $this [open $spell_cmd r+]
lib/spellcheck.tcl:405: set fd [open [list | aspell dump dicts] r]
In all cases, the command arguments are constant strings (or begin with
a constant string) that are of a form that would not be affected by the
processing anyway.

Proc git invokes git and collects all output, which is it returns.
We are going to treat command arguments and redirections differently to
avoid passing arguments that look like redirections to the command
accidentally. A few invocations also pass redirection operators as
command arguments deliberately. Rewrite these cases to use a new
function git_redir that takes two lists, one for the regular command
arguments and one for the redirection operations.

We are going to treat command arguments and redirections differently to
avoid passing arguments that look like redirections to the command
accidentally. To do so, it will be necessary to know which arguments
are intentional redirections. As a preparation, convert git_read,
git_read_nice, and git_write to take just a single argument that is

In the future, this argument will be the regular command arguments and
a second argument will be the redirection operations.

Since aae9560a355d (Work around Tcl's default `PATH` lookup,
2022-11-23), git-gui overrides exec and open on all platforms. But,
this was done in response to Tcl adding elements to $PATH on Windows,
while exec, open, and auto_execok honor $PATH as given on all other
platforms.
Let's do the override only on Windows, restoring others to using their
native exec and open. These honor the sanitized $PATH as that is written
out to env(PATH) in a previous commit. auto_execok is also safe on these
platforms, so can be used for _which.

The previous commits bb5cb23daf75 (gitk: prevent overly long command
lines, 2023-01-24) rewrote a set of the 'open' calls substantially.
These were then later updated by 7dd272eca153 (gitk: escape file paths
before piping to git log, 2023-01-24) and d5d1b91e5327 (gitk: encode
arguments correctly with "open", 2025-03-07). In the preceding merge,
the conversions to a safe_open variant were undone to ensure that the
principal operation of the new 'open' calls is not modified by accident.
Since the 'open' calls now pass a redirection from a Tcl string as
stdin, convert the calls to 'safe_open_command_redirect'.

0730a5a3a5e6 ("git-gui - use git-hook, honor core.hooksPath", 2023-09-17)
rewrote githook_read to use `git hook` to run a hook script. The code
that was replaced discovered the hook script file manually and invoked
it using function _open_stdout_stderr. After the rewrite, this function
is still invoked, but it calls into `git` instead of the hook scripts.
Notice though, that we have function git_read that invokes git and
prepares a pipe for the caller to read from. Replace the implementation
of githook_read to be just a wrapper around git_read. This unifies the
way in which the git executable is invoked. git_read ultimately also
calls into _open_stdout_stderr, but it modifies the path to the git
executable before doing so.

There are two callers of git_read that request special treatment using
option --nice. Rewrite them to call a new function git_read_nice that
does the special treatment. Now we can remove all option treatment from

git_write has the same capability, but there are no callers that

Some callers of git_read want to redirect stderr of the invoked command
to stdout. The function offers option --stderr for this purpose.
However, the option only appends 2>@1 to the commands. The callers can
do that themselves. In lib/console.tcl we even have a caller that
already knew implictly what --stderr does behind the scenes.
This is a preparation for a later change where we want to make git_read
non-variadic. Then it cannot have optional leading arguments.

git-gui on Git for Windows creates a menu item to start a git-bash
session for the current repository. This menu-item works as desired when
git-gui is installed in the Git for Windows (g4w) distribution, but
not when run from a different location such as normally done in
development. The reason is that git-bash's location is known to be
'/git-bash' in the Unix pathname space known to MSYS, but this is not
known in the Windows pathname space. Instead, git-gui derives a pathname
for git-bash assuming it is at a known relative location.
If git-gui is run from a different directory than assumed in g4w, the
relative location changes, and git-gui resorts to running a generic bash
login session in a Windows console.
But, the MSYS system underlying Git for Windows includes the 'cygpath'
utility to convert between Unix and Windows pathnames. Let's use this so
git-bash's Windows pathname is determined directly from /git-bash.

On Windows, git-gui offers to open a git-bash session for the current
repository from the menu, but uses [auto_execok start] to get the
command to actually run that shell.
The code for auto_execok, in /usr/share/tcl8.6/tcl.init, has 'start' in
the 'shellBuiltins' list for cmd.exe on Windows: as a result,
auto_execok does not actually search for start, meaning this usage is
technically ok with auto_execok now. However, leaving this use of
auto_execok in place will just induce confusion about why a known unsafe
function is being used on Windows. Instead, let's switch to using our
known safe _which function that looks only in $PATH, excluding the
current working directory.

Commit 7d076d56757c (git-gui: handle shell script text filters when
loading for blame, 2011-12-09) added open_cmd_pipe to run text
conversion in support of blame, with special handling for shell
scripts on Windows. To determine whether the command is a shell
script, 'lindex' is used to pick off the first token from the command.
However, cmd is actually a command string taken from .gitconfig
literally and is not necessarily a syntactically correct Tcl list.
Hence, it cannot be processed by 'lindex' and 'lrange' reliably.
Pass the command string to the shell just like on non-Windows
platforms to avoid the potentially incorrect treatment.
A use of 'auto_execok' is removed by this change. This function is
dangerous on Windows, because it searches programs in the current
directory. Delegating the path lookup to the shell is safe, because
/bin/sh and /bin/bash follow POSIX on all platforms, including the
Git for Windows port.
A possible regression is that the old code, given filter command of
'foo', could find 'foo.bat' as a script, and not just bare 'foo', or
'foo.exe'. This rewrite requires explicitly giving the suffix if it is
not .exe.
This part of Git GUI can be exercised using
git gui blame -- some.file
while some.file has a textconv filter configured and has unstaged
modifications.

Since commit d5257fb3c1de (git-gui: handle textconv filter on
Windows and in development, 2010-08-07), git-gui will search for a
usable shell if _shellpath is not configured, and on Windows may
resort to using auto_execok to find 'sh'. While this was intended for
development use, checks are insufficient to assure a proper
configuration when deployed where _shellpath is always set, but might
not give a usable shell.
Let's make this more robust by only searching if _shellpath was not
defined, and then using only our restricted search functions.
Furthermore, we should convert to a Windows path on Windows. Always
check for a valid shell on startup, meaning an absolute path to an
executable, aborting if these conditions are not met.

While "exec" uses a normal arguments list which is applied as
command + arguments (and redirections, etc), "open" uses a single
argument which is this command+arguments, where the command and
arguments are a list inside this one argument to "open".
Commit bb5cb23 (gitk: prevent overly long command lines 2023-05-08)
changed several values from individual arguments in that list (hashes
and file names), to a single value which is fed to git via redirection
to its stdin using "open" [1].
However, it didn't ensure correctly that this aggregate value in this
string is interpreted as a single element in this command+args list.
It did just enough so that newlines (which is how these elements are
concatenated) don't split this single list element.
A followup commit at the same patchset: 7dd272e (gitk: escape file
paths before piping to git log 2023-05-08) added a bit more, by
escaping backslahes and spaces at the file names, so that at least
it doesn't break when such file names get used there.
But these are not enough. At the very least tab is missing, and more,
and trying to manually escape every possible thing which can affect
how this string is interpreted in a list is a sub-par approach.
The solution is simply to tell tcl "this is a single list element".
which we can do by aggregating this value completely normally (hashes
and files separated by newlines), and then do [list $value].
So this is what this commit does, for all 3 places where bb5cb23
changed individual elements into an aggregate value.
[1]
That was not a fully accurate description. The accurate version
is that this string originally included two lists: hashes and files.
When used with "open" these lists correctly become the individual
elements of these lists, even if they contain spaces etc, so the
arguments which were used at this "git" commands were correct.
Commit bb5cb23 couldn't use these two lists as-is, because it needed
to process the individual elements in them (one element per line of
the aggregate value), and the issue is that ensuring this aggregate
is indeed interpreted as a single list element was sub-par.
Note: all the (double) quotes before/after the modification are not
required and with zero effect, even for \n. But this commit preserves
the original quoting form intentionally. It can be cleaned up later.

Function 'diffcmd' derives which of git diff-files, git diff-index, or

Note though that of the four callers only two use the command with

Do not include the pipe symbol in the constructed command list, but let

inspects only the first character of the command list, which is also
the first character of the first element in the list. For this reason,

While Git has documented that the credential protocol is line-based,
with newlines as terminators, the exact shape of a newline has not been
documented.
From Git's perspective, which is firmly rooted in the Linux ecosystem,
it is clear that "a newline" means a Line Feed character.
However, even Git's credential protocol respects Windows line endings
(a Carriage Return character followed by a Line Feed character, "CR/LF")
by virtue of using `strbuf_getline()`.
There is a third category of line endings that has been used originally
by MacOS, and that is respected by the default line readers of .NET and
node.js: bare Carriage Returns.
Git cannot handle those, and what is worse: Git's remedy against
CVE-2020-5260 does not catch when credential helpers are used that
interpret bare Carriage Returns as newlines.
Git Credential Manager addressed this as CVE-2024-50338, but other
credential helpers may still be vulnerable. So let's not only disallow
Line Feed characters as part of the values in the credential protocol,
but also disallow Carriage Return characters.
In the unlikely event that a credential helper relies on Carriage
Returns in the protocol, introduce an escape hatch via the
`credential.protectProtocol` config setting.
This addresses CVE-2024-52006.

When asking the user interactively for credentials, we want to avoid
misleading them e.g. via control sequences that pretend that the URL
targets a trusted host when it does not.
While Git learned, over the course of the preceding commits, to disallow
URLs containing URL-encoded control characters by default, credential
helpers are still allowed to specify values very freely (apart from Line
Feed and NUL characters, anything is allowed), and this would allow,
say, a username containing control characters to be specified that would
then be displayed in the interactive terminal prompt asking the user for
the password, potentially sending those control characters directly to
the terminal. This is undesirable because control characters can be used
to mislead users to divulge secret information to untrusted sites.
To prevent such an attack vector, let's add a `git_prompt()` that forces
the displayed text to be sanitized, i.e. displaying question marks
instead of control characters.
Note: While this commit's diff changes a lot of `user@host` strings to
`user%40host`, which may look suspicious on the surface, there is a good
reason for that: this string specifies a user name, not a
<username>@<hostname> combination! In the context of t5541, the actual
combination looks like this: `user%40@127.0.0.1:5541`. Therefore, these
string replacements document a net improvement introduced by this
commit, as `user@host@127.0.0.1` could have left readers wondering where
the user name ends and where the host name begins.

An upcoming change wants to sanitize the credential password prompt
where a URL is displayed that may potentially come from a `.gitmodules`
file. To this end, the `credential_format()` function is employed.
To sanitize the host name (and optional port) part of the URL, we need a
new mode of the `strbuf_add_percentencode()` function because the
current mode is both too strict and too lenient: too strict because it
encodes `:`, `[` and `]` (which should be left unencoded in
`<host>:<port>` and in IPv6 addresses), and too lenient because it does
not encode invalid host name characters `/`, `_` and `~`.
So let's introduce and use a new mode specifically to encode the host
name and optional port part of a URI, leaving alpha-numerical
characters, periods, colons and brackets alone and encoding all others.
This only leads to a change of behavior for URLs that contain invalid
host names.

Windows by default has a restriction in place to only allow paths up to
260 characters. This restriction can nowadays be lifted by setting a
registry key, but is still active by default.
In t7300 we have one test that exercises the behaviour of git-clean(1)
with such long paths. Interestingly enough, this test fails on my system
that uses Windows 10 with mingw-w64 installed via MSYS2: instead of
observing ENAMETOOLONG, we observe ENOENT. This behaviour is consistent
across multiple different environments I have tried.
I cannot say why exactly we observe a different error here, but I would
not be surprised if this was either dependent on the Windows version,
the version of MinGW, the current working directory of Git or any kind
of combination of these.
Work around the issue by handling both errors.

Windows compiler suddenly started complaining that calloc(3) takes
its arguments in <nmemb, size> order. Indeed, there are many calls
that has their arguments in a _wrong_ order.
Fix them all.

In 08809c09aa13 (mingw: add a helper function to attach GDB to the
current process, 2020-02-13), I added a declaration that was not needed.
Back then, that did not matter, but now that the declaration of that
symbol was changed in mingw-w64's headers, it causes the following
compile error:
