These stages are used to hold the various unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress. +SECURITY +-------- + +Some configuration options and hook files may cause Git to run arbitrary +shell commands. Because configuration and hooks are not copied using +`git clone`, it is generally safe to clone remote repositories with +untrusted content, inspect them with `git log`, and so on. + +However, it is not safe to run Git commands in a `.git` directory (or +the working tree that surrounds it) when that `.git` directory itself +comes from an untrusted source. The commands in its config and hooks +are executed in the usual way. + +By default, Git will refuse to run when the repository is owned by +someone other than the user running the command. See the entry for +`safe.directory` in linkgit:git-config[1]. While this can help protect +you in a multi-user environment, note that you can also acquire +untrusted repositories that are owned by you (for example, if you +extract a zip file or tarball from an untrusted source). In such cases, +you'd need to "sanitize" the untrusted repository first. + +If you have an untrusted `.git` directory, you should first clone it +with `git clone --no-local` to obtain a clean copy. Git does restrict +the set of options and hooks that will be run by `upload-pack`, which +handles the server side of a clone or fetch, but beware that the +surface area for attack against `upload-pack` is large, so this does +carry some risk. The safest thing is to serve the repository as an +unprivileged user (either via linkgit:git-daemon[1], ssh, or using +other tools to change user ids).
