2025-06-25contrib: better support symbolic port names in git-credential-netrcMaxim Cournoyer1-0/+13
To improve support for symbolic port names in netrc files, this changes does the following: - Treat symbolic port names as ports, not protocols in git-credential-netrc - Validate the SMTP server port provided to send-email - Convert the above symbolic port names to their numerical values. Before this change, it was not possible to have a SMTP server port set to "smtps" in a netrc file (e.g. Emacs' ~/.authinfo.gpg), as it would be registered as a protocol and break the match for a "smtp" protocol host, as queried for by git-send-email.

2024-10-23Require Perl 5.26.0brian m. carlson1-1/+1
Our platform support policy states that we require "versions of dependencies which are generally accepted as stable and supportable, e.g., in line with the version used by other long-term-support distributions". Of Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, and SLES, the four most common distributions that provide LTS versions, the version with mainstream long-term security support with the oldest Perl is 5.26.0 in SLES 15.6. This is a major upgrade, since Perl 5.8.1, according to the Perl documentation, was released in September of 2003. It brings a lot of new features that we can choose to use, such as s///r to return the modified string, the postderef functionality, and subroutine signatures, although the latter was still considered experimental until 5.36. This change was made with the following one-liner, which intentionally excludes modifying the vendored modules we include to avoid conflicts: git grep -l 'use 5.008001' | grep -v 'LoadCPAN/' | xargs perl -pi -e 's/use 5.008001/require v5.26/' Use require instead of use to avoid changing the behavior as the latter enables features and the former does not.

In Git 2.39, Git.pm stopped working in a bare repository, which has been corrected. * jk/git-pm-bare-repo-fix: Git.pm: use "rev-parse --absolute-git-dir" rather than perl code Git.pm: fix bare repository search with Directory option
2024-09-13Git.pm: use "rev-parse --absolute-git-dir" rather than perl codeJeff King1-5/+5
When we open a repository with the "Directory" option, we use "rev-parse --git-dir" to get the path relative to that directory, and then use Cwd::abs_path() to make it absolute (since our process working directory may not be the same). These days we can just ask for "--absolute-git-dir" instead, which saves us a little code. That option was added in Git v2.13.0 via a2f5a87626 (rev-parse: add '--absolute-git-dir' option, 2017-02-03). I don't think we make any promises about running mismatched versions of git and Git.pm, but even if somebody tries it, that's sufficiently old that it should be OK.

2024-09-13Git.pm: fix bare repository search with Directory optionJeff King1-6/+4
When opening a bare repository like: Git->repository(Directory => '/path/to/bare.git'); we will incorrectly point the repository object at the _current_ directory, not the one specified by the option. The bug was introduced by 20da61f25f (Git.pm: trust rev-parse to find bare repositories, 2022-10-22). Before then, we'd ask "rev-parse --git-dir" if it was a Git repo, and if it returned anything, we'd correctly convert that result to an absolute path using File::Spec and Cwd::abs_path(). If it didn't, we'd guess it might be a bare repository and find it ourselves, which was wrong (rev-parse should find even a bare repo, and our search circumvented some of its rules). That commit dropped most of the custom bare-repo search code in favor of using "rev-parse --is-bare-repository" and trusting the "--git-dir" it returned. But it mistakenly left some of the bare-repo code path in place, which was now broken. That code calls Cwd::abs_path($dir); prior to 20da61f25f $dir contained the "Directory" option the user passed in. But afterwards, it contains the output of "rev-parse --git-dir". And since our tentative rev-parse command is invoked after changing directory, it will always be the relative path "."! So we'll end up with the absolute path of the process's current directory, not the Directory option the caller asked for. So the non-bare case is correct, but the bare one is broken. Our tests only check the non-bare one, so we didn't notice. We can fix this by running the same absolute-path fixup code for both sides.

2022-10-22Git.pm: trust rev-parse to find bare repositoriesJeff King1-20/+16
When initializing a repository object, we run "git rev-parse --git-dir" to let the C version of Git find the correct directory. But curiously, if this fails we don't automatically say "not a git repository". Instead, we do our own pure-perl check to see if we're in a bare repository. This makes little sense, as rev-parse will report both bare and non-bare directories. This logic comes from d5c7721d58 (Git.pm: Add support for subdirectories inside of working copies, 2006-06-24), but I don't see any reason given why we can't just rely on rev-parse. Worse, because we treat any non-error response from rev-parse as a non-bare repository, we'll erroneously set the object's WorkingCopy, even in a bare repository. But it gets worse. Since 8959555cee (setup_git_directory(): add an owner check for the top-level directory, 2022-03-02), it's actively wrong (and dangerous). The perl code doesn't implement the same ownership checks. And worse, after "finding" the bare repository, it sets GIT_DIR in the environment, which tells any subsequent Git commands that we've confirmed the directory is OK, and to trust us. I.e., it re-opens the vulnerability plugged by 8959555cee when using Git.pm's repository discovery code. We can fix this by just relying on rev-parse to tell us when we're not in a repository, which fixes the vulnerability. Furthermore, we'll ask its --is-bare-repository function to tell us if we're bare or not, and rely on that. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
2022-10-17Git.pm: add semicolon after catch statementMichael McClimon1-1/+1
When attempting to initialize a repository object in an unsafe directory, a syntax error is reported (Can't use string as a HASH ref while strict refs in use). Fix this runtime error by adding the required semicolon after the catch statement. Without the semicolon, the result of the following line (i.e., the result of Cwd::abs_path) is passed as the third argument to Error.pm's catch function. That function expects that its third argument, $clauses, is a hash reference, and trying to access a string as a hash reference is a fatal error.

2022-02-01perl Git.pm: don't ignore signalled failure in _cmd_close()Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+19
Fix misbehavior in Git.pm that dates back to the very first version of the library in git.git added in b1edc53d062 (Introduce Git.pm (v4), 2006-06-24). When we fail to execute a command we shouldn't ignore all signals, those can happen e.g. if abort() is called, or if the command segfaults. Because of this we'd consider e.g. a command that died due to LSAN exiting with abort() successful, as is the case with the tests listed as running successfully with SANITIZE=leak in 9081a421a6d (checkout: fix "branch info" memory leaks, 2021-11-16). We did run them successfully, but only because we ignored these errors. This was then made worse by the use of "abort_on_error=1" for LSAN added in 85b81b35ff9 (test-lib: set LSAN_OPTIONS to abort by default, 2017-09-05). Doing that makes sense, but without providing that option we'd have a "$? >> 8" of "23" on failure, with abort_on_error=1 we'll get "0". All of our tests pass even without the SIGPIPE exception being added here, but as the code appears to have been trying to ignore it let's keep ignoring it for now.

2021-05-28perl: nano-optimize by replacing Cwd::cwd() with Cwd::getcwd()Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-1/+1
It has been pointed out[1] that cwd() invokes "pwd(1)" while getcwd() is a Perl-native XS function. For what we're using these for we can use getcwd(). The performance difference is miniscule, we're saving on the order of a millisecond or so, see [2] below for the benchmark. I don't think this matters in practice for optimizing git-send-email or perl execution (unlike the patches leading up to this one). But let's do it regardless of that, if only so we don't have to think about this as a low-hanging fruit anymore. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20210512180517.GA11354@dcvr/ 2. $ perl -MBenchmark=:all -MCwd -wE 'cmpthese(10000, { getcwd => sub { getcwd }, cwd => sub { cwd }, pwd => sub { system "pwd >/dev/null" }})' (warning: too few iterations for a reliable count) Rate pwd cwd getcwd pwd 982/s -- -48% -100% cwd 1890/s 92% -- -100% getcwd 10000000000000000000/s 1018000000000000000% 529000000000000064% - Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Instead of unconditionally requiring modules such as File::Spec, let's only load them when needed. This speeds up code that only needs a subset of the features Git.pm provides. This brings a plain invocation of "git send-email" down from 52/37 loaded modules under NO_GETTEXT=[|Y] to 39/18, and it now takes ~60-~70ms instead of ~80-~90ms.

2021-05-27send-email: move "hooks_path" invocation to git-send-email.perlÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-12/+0
Move the newly added "hooks_path" API in Git.pm to its only user in git-send-email.perl. This was added in c8243933c74 (git-send-email: Respect core.hooksPath setting, 2021-03-23), meaning that it hasn't yet made it into a non-rc release of git. The consensus with Git.pm is that we need to be considerate of out-of-tree users who treat it as a public documented interface. We should therefore be less willing to add new functionality to it, least we be stuck supporting it after our own uses for it disappear. In this case the git-send-email.perl hook invocation will probably be replaced by a future "git hook run" command, and in the commit preceding this one the "hooks_path" become nothing but a trivial wrapper for "rev-parse --git-path hooks" anyway (with no Cwd::abs_path() call), so let's just inline this command in git-send-email.perl itself.

2021-05-27send-email: don't needlessly abs_path() the core.hooksPathÆvar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-2/+1
In c8243933c74 (git-send-email: Respect core.hooksPath setting, 2021-03-23) we started supporting core.hooksPath in "send-email". It's been reported that on Windows[1] doing this by calling abs_path() results in different canonicalizations of the absolute path. This wasn't an issue in c8243933c74 itself, but was revealed by my ea7811b37e0 (git-send-email: improve --validate error output, 2021-04-06) when we started emitting the path to the hook, which was previously only internal to git-send-email.perl. The just-landed 53753a37d09 (t9001-send-email.sh: fix expected absolute paths on Windows, 2021-05-24) narrowly fixed this issue, but I believe we can do better here. We should not be relying on whatever changes Perl's abs_path() makes to the path "rev-parse --git-path hooks" hands to us. Let's instead trust it, and hand it to Perl's system() in git-send-email.perl. It will handle either a relative or absolute path. So let's revert most of 53753a37d09 and just have "hooks_path" return what we get from "rev-parse" directly without modification. This has the added benefit of making the error message friendlier in the common case, we'll no longer print an absolute path for repository-local hook errors. 1. http://lore.kernel.org/git/bb30fe2b-cd75-4782-24a6-08bb002a0367@kdbg.org Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

2020-10-21perl: check for perl warnings while running testsJeff King1-1/+1
We set "use warnings" in most of our perl code to catch problems. But as the name implies, warnings just emit a message to stderr and don't otherwise affect the program. So our tests are quite likely to miss that warnings are being spewed, as most of them do not look at stderr. We could ask perl to make all warnings fatal, but this is likely annoying for non-developers, who would rather have a running program with a warning than something that refuses to work at all. So instead, let's teach the perl code to respect an environment variable (GIT_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) to increase the severity of the warnings. This can be set for day-to-day running if people want to be really pedantic, but the primary use is to trigger it within the test suite. We could also trigger that for every test run, but likewise even the tests failing may be annoying to distro builders, etc (just as -Werror would be for compiling C code). So we'll tie it to a special test-mode variable (GIT_TEST_PERL_FATAL_WARNINGS) that can be set in the environment or as a Makefile knob, and we'll automatically turn the knob when DEVELOPER=1 is set. That should give developers and CI the more careful view without disrupting normal users or packagers. Note that the mapping from the GIT_TEST_* form to the GIT_* form in test-lib.sh is necessary even if they had the same name: the perl scripts need it to be normalized to a perl truth value, and we also have to make sure it's exported (we might have gotten it from the environment, but we might also have gotten it from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS directly).

Replace the perl/Makefile.PL and the fallback perl/Makefile used under NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=NoThanks with a much simpler implementation heavily inspired by how the i18n infrastructure's build process works[1]. The reason for having the Makefile.PL in the first place is that it was initially[2] building a perl C binding to interface with libgit, this functionality, that was removed[3] before Git.pm ever made it to the master branch. We've since since started maintaining a fallback perl/Makefile, as MakeMaker wouldn't work on some platforms[4]. That's just the tip of the iceberg. We have the PM.stamp hack in the top-level Makefile[5] to detect whether we need to regenerate the perl/perl.mak, which I fixed just recently to deal with issues like the perl version changing from under us[6]. There is absolutely no reason for why this needs to be so complex anymore. All we're getting out of this elaborate Rube Goldberg machine was copying perl/* to perl/blib/* as we do a string-replacement on the *.pm files to hardcode @@LOCALEDIR@@ in the source, as well as pod2man-ing Git.pm & friends. So replace the whole thing with something that's pretty much a copy of how we generate po/build/**.mo from po/*.po, just with a small sed(1) command instead of msgfmt. As that's being done rename the files from *.pm to *.pmc just to indicate that they're generated (see "perldoc -f require"). While I'm at it, change the fallback for Error.pm from being something where we'll ship our own Error.pm if one doesn't exist at build time to one where we just use a Git::Error wrapper that'll always prefer the system-wide Error.pm, only falling back to our own copy if it really doesn't exist at runtime. It's now shipped as Git::FromCPAN::Error, making it easy to add other modules to Git::FromCPAN::* in the future if that's needed. Functional changes: * This will not always install into perl's idea of its global "installsitelib". This only potentially matters for packagers that need to expose Git.pm for non-git use, and as explained in the INSTALL file there's a trivial workaround. * The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way, it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of [7] is that this is the desired behavior. * We don't build man pages for all of the perl modules as we used to, only Git(3pm). As discussed on-list[8] that we were building installed manpages for purely internal APIs like Git::I18N or private-Error.pm was always a bug anyway, and all the Git::SVN::* ones say they're internal APIs. There are apparently external users of Git.pm, but I don't expect there to be any of the others. As a side-effect of these general changes the perl documentation now only installed by install-{doc,man}, not a mere "install" as before. 1. 5e9637c629 ("i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext", 2011-11-18) 2. b1edc53d06 ("Introduce Git.pm (v4)", 2006-06-24) 3. 18b0fc1ce1 ("Git.pm: Kill Git.xs for now", 2006-09-23) 4. f848718a69 ("Make perl/ build procedure ActiveState friendly.", 2006-12-04) 5. ee9be06770 ("perl: detect new files in MakeMaker builds", 2012-07-27) 6. c59c4939c2 ("perl: regenerate perl.mak if perl -V changes", 2017-03-29) 7. 0386dd37b1 ("Makefile: add PERLLIB_EXTRA variable that adds to default perl path", 2013-11-15) 8. 87bmjjv1pu.fsf@evledraar.booking.com ("Re: [PATCH] Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules" Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

The test introduced in this commit succeeds without the patch to Git.pm if Mail::Address is installed, but fails otherwise because our in-house parser does not accept any text after the email address. They succeed both with and without Mail::Address after this commit. Mail::Address accepts extra text and considers it as part of the name, iff the address is surrounded with <...>. The implementation mimics this behavior as closely as possible. This mostly restores the behavior we had before b1c8a11 (send-email: allow multiple emails using --cc, --to and --bcc, 2015-06-30), but we keep the possibility to handle comma-separated lists.

2016-01-26Git.pm: stop assuming that absolute paths start with a slashJohannes Schindelin1-1/+2
On Windows, absolute paths never start with a slash, unless a POSIX emulation layer is used. The latter is the case for MSYS2's Perl that Git for Windows leverages. However, in the tests we also go through plain `git.exe`, which does *not* leverage the POSIX emulation layer, and therefore the paths we pass to Perl may actually be DOS-style paths such as C:/Program Files/Git. So let's just use Perl's own way to test whether a given path is absolute or not instead of home-brewing our own. This patch partially fixes t7800 and t9700 when running in Git for Windows' SDK.

What's interesting here is that it is apparently _triggered_ by closing stderr, which results in (from strace) write(2, "fatal: Needed a single revision\n", 32) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) write(2, "\0", 1) = -1 EBADF (Bad file descriptor) Closing stderr is a bad idea anyway: there is a very real chance that we print fatal error messages to some other file that just happens to be opened on the now-free FD 2. So let's not do that. As pointed out by Eric Wong (thanks), the initial close needs to go: die() would again write nowhere if we close STDERR beforehand.

Read and write each 1024 byte buffer, rather than trying to buffer the entire content of the file. We are only copying the contents to a file descriptor and do not use it ourselves. Previous code would crash on all files > 2 Gib, when the offset variable became negative (perhaps below the level of perl), resulting in a crash. On a 32 bit system, or a system with low memory it might crash before reaching 2 GiB due to memory exhaustion. This code may leave a partial file behind in case of failure, where the old code would leave a completely empty file. Neither version verifies the correctness of the content.

2013-02-09perl/Git.pm: fix get_tz_offset to properly handle DST boundary casesBen Walton1-3/+3
When passed a local time that was on the boundary of a DST change, get_tz_offset returned a GMT offset that was incorrect (off by one hour). This is because the time was converted to GMT and then back to a time stamp via timelocal() which cannot disambiguate boundary cases as noted in its documentation. Modify this algorithm, using an approach suggested in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/213871 to first convert the timestamp in question to two broken down forms with localtime() and gmtime(), and then compute what timestamps these two broken down forms would represent in GMT (i.e. a timezone that does not have DST issues) by applying timegm() on them. The difference between the resulting timestamps is the timezone offset. This avoids the ambigious conversion and allows a correct time to be returned on every occassion.

When command_input_pipe and command_output_pipe are used as a method of a Git::repository instance, they eventually call into _cmd_exec method that sets up the execution environment such as GIT_DIR, GIT_WORK_TREE environment variables and the current working directory in the child process that interacts with the repository. command_bidi_pipe however didn't expect to be called as such, and lacked all these set-up. Because of this, a program that did this did not work as expected: my $repo = Git->repository(Directory => '/some/where/else'); my ($pid, $in, $out, $ctx) = $repo->command_bidi_pipe(qw(hash-object -w --stdin-paths)); This patch refactors the _cmd_exec into _setup_git_cmd_env that sets up the execution environment, and makes _cmd_exec and command_bidi_pipe to use it. Note that unlike _cmd_exec that execv's a git command as an external process, command_bidi_pipe is called from the main line of control, and the execution environment needs to be restored after open2() does its magic.

However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open syntax: sub run_cmd_pipe { my $fh = undef; open($fh, '-|', @_) or die; return <$fh>; } Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1): t2016-checkout-patch.sh t3904-stash-patch.sh t3701-add-interactive.sh t7105-reset-patch.sh t7501-commit.sh t9700-perl-git.sh Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using useful features introduced in the 5.8 release. The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old. All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX Solaris and Tru64 systems.

2010-03-05git-svn: support fetch with autocrlf onErik Faye-Lund1-1/+1
Before commit d3c9634e, performing a "git svn rebase" that fetched a change containing CRLFs corrupted the git-svn meta-data. This was worked around in d3c9634e by setting core.autocrlf to "false" in the per-repo config when initing the clone. However, if the config variable was later changed, the corruption would still occur. This patch tries to fix it while allowing core.autocrlf to be enabled, by disabling filters when when hashing. git-svn is currently the only call-site for hash_and_insert_object (apart from the test-suite), so changing it should be safe.

Update the usage of File::Temp->tempfile to place the temporary files within the repository directory instead of just letting Perl decide what directory to use, given there is a repository specified when requesting the temporary file. This is needed to be able to fix git-svn on msys as msysperl generates paths with UNIX-style paths (/tmp/xxx) while the git tools expect natvie path format (c:/..). The repository dir is stored in native format so by using it as the base directory for temporary files we always get a usable native full path.

This is mostly lifted from earlier series by Dan Zwell, but updated to use "git config --get-color" and "git config --get-colorbool" to make it simpler and more consistent with commands written in C. A new configuration color.interactive variable is like color.diff and color.status, and controls if "git-add -i" uses color. A set of configuration variables, color.interactive.<slot>, are used to define what color is used for the prompt, header, and help text. For perl scripts, Git.pm provides $repo->get_color() method, which takes the slot name and the default color, and returns the terminal escape sequence to color the output text. $repo->get_colorbool() method can be used to check if color is set to be used for a given operation.

2006-07-09Git.pm: Introduce fast get_object() methodPetr Baudis1-0/+18
Direct .xs routine. Note that it does not work 100% correctly when you juggle multiple repository objects, but it is not that bad either. The trouble is that we might reuse packs information for another Git project; that is not an issue since Git depends on uniqueness of SHA1 ids so if we have found the object somewhere else, it is nevertheless going to be the same object. It merely makes object existence detection through this method unreliable; it is duly noted in the documentation. At least that's how I see it, I hope I didn't overlook any other potential problem. I tested it for memory leaks and it appears to be doing ok. Signed-off-by: Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
2006-07-09Make it possible to set up libgit directly (instead of from the environment)Petr Baudis1-5/+6
This introduces a setup_git() function which is essentialy a (public) backend for setup_git_env() which lets anyone specify custom sources for the various paths instead of environment variables. Since the repositories may get switched on the fly, this also updates code that caches paths to invalidate them properly; I hope neither of those is a sweet spot. It is used by Git.xs' xs__call_gate() to set up per-repository data for libgit's consumption. No code actually takes advantage of it yet but get_object() will in the next patches.

You can use the new git_cmd_try statement to fatally catch the exception while producing a user-friendly message.

2006-07-02Introduce Git.pm (v4)Petr Baudis1-0/+408
This patch introduces a very basic and barebone Git.pm module with a sketch of how the generic interface would look like; most functions are missing, but this should give some good base. I will continue expanding it. Most desirable now is more careful error reporting, generic_in() for feeding input to Git commands and the repository() constructor doing some poking with git-rev-parse to get the git directory and subdirectory prefix. Those three are basically the prerequisities for converting git-mv. I will send them as follow-ups to this patch. Currently Git.pm just wraps up exec()s of Git commands, but even that is not trivial to get right and various Git perl scripts do it in various inconsistent ways. In addition to Git.pm, there is now also Git.xs which provides barebone Git.xs for directly interfacing with libgit.a, and as an example providing the hash_object() function using libgit. This adds the Git module, integrates it to the build system and as an example converts the git-fmt-merge-msg.perl script to it (the result is not very impressive since its advantage is not quite apparent in this one, but I just picked up the simplest Git user around). Compared to v3, only very minor things were fixed in this patch (some whitespaces, a missing export, tiny bug in git-fmt-merge-msg.perl); at first I wanted to post them as a separate patch but since this is still only in pu, I decided that it will be cleaner to just resend the patch.
