don't ever allow SHA1 collisions to exist by fetching a pack
Waaaaaaay back Git was considered to be secure as it never overwrote an object it already had. This was ensured by always unpacking the packfile received over the network (both in fetch and receive-pack) and our already existing logic to not create a loose object for an object we already have. Lately however we keep "large-ish" packfiles on both fetch and push by running them through index-pack instead of unpack-objects. This would let an attacker perform a birthday attack. How? Assume the attacker knows a SHA-1 that has two different data streams. He knows the client is likely to have the "good" one. So he sends the "evil" variant to the other end as part of a "large-ish" packfile. The recipient keeps that packfile, and indexes it. Now since this is a birthday attack there is a SHA-1 collision; two objects exist in the repository with the same SHA-1. They have *very* different data streams. One of them is "evil". Currently the poor recipient cannot tell the two objects apart, short of by examining the timestamp of the packfiles. But lets say the recipient repacks before he realizes he's been attacked. We may wind up packing the "evil" version of the object, and deleting the "good" one. This is made *even more likely* by Junio's recent rearrange_packed_git patch (b867092f). It is extremely unlikely for a SHA1 collisions to occur, but if it ever happens with a remote (hence untrusted) object we simply must not let the fetch succeed. Normally received packs should not contain objects we already have. But when they do we must ensure duplicated objects with the same SHA1 actually contain the same data.
