* send-pack.c: add --atomic command line argumentRonnie Sahlberg2015-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support to send-pack to negotiate and use atomic pushes iff the server supports it. Atomic pushes are activated by a new command line flag --atomic. In order to do this we also need to change the semantics for send_pack() slightly. The existing send_pack() function actually doesn't send all the refs back to the server when multiple refs are involved, for example when using --all. Several of the failure modes for pushes can already be detected locally in the send_pack client based on the information from the initial server side list of all the refs as generated by receive-pack. Any such refs that we thus know would fail to push are thus pruned from the list of refs we send to the server to update. For atomic pushes, we have to deal thus with both failures that are detected locally as well as failures that are reported back from the server. In order to do so we treat all local failures as push failures too. We introduce a new status code REF_STATUS_ATOMIC_PUSH_FAILED so we can flag all refs that we would normally have tried to push to the server but we did not due to local failures. This is to improve the error message back to the end user to flag that "these refs failed to update since the atomic push operation failed."

* signed push: add "pushee" header to push certificateJunio C Hamano2014-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Record the URL of the intended recipient for a push (after anonymizing it if it has authentication material) on a new "pushee URL" header. Because the networking configuration (SSH-tunnels, proxies, etc.) on the pushing user's side varies, the receiving repository may not know the single canonical URL all the pushing users would refer it as (besides, many sites allow pushing over ssh://host/path and https://host/path protocols to the same repository but with different local part of the path). So this value may not be reliably used for replay-attack prevention purposes, but this will still serve as a human readable hint to identify the repository the certificate refers to.

* push: the beginning of "git push --signed"Junio C Hamano2014-09-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While signed tags and commits assert that the objects thusly signed came from you, who signed these objects, there is not a good way to assert that you wanted to have a particular object at the tip of a particular branch. My signing v2.0.1 tag only means I want to call the version v2.0.1, and it does not mean I want to push it out to my 'master' branch---it is likely that I only want it in 'maint', so the signature on the object alone is insufficient. The only assurance to you that 'maint' points at what I wanted to place there comes from your trust on the hosting site and my authentication with it, which cannot easily audited later. Introduce a mechanism that allows you to sign a "push certificate" (for the lack of better name) every time you push, asserting that what object you are pushing to update which ref that used to point at what other object. Think of it as a cryptographic protection for ref updates, similar to signed tags/commits but working on an orthogonal axis. The basic flow based on this mechanism goes like this: 1. You push out your work with "git push --signed". 2. The sending side learns where the remote refs are as usual, together with what protocol extension the receiving end supports. If the receiving end does not advertise the protocol extension "push-cert", an attempt to "git push --signed" fails. Otherwise, a text file, that looks like the following, is prepared in core: certificate version 0.1 pusher Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> 1315427886 -0700 7339ca65... 21580ecb... refs/heads/master 3793ac56... 12850bec... refs/heads/next The file begins with a few header lines, which may grow as we gain more experience. The 'pusher' header records the name of the signer (the value of user.signingkey configuration variable, falling back to GIT_COMMITTER_{NAME|EMAIL}) and the time of the certificate generation. After the header, a blank line follows, followed by a copy of the protocol message lines. Each line shows the old and the new object name at the tip of the ref this push tries to update, in the way identical to how the underlying "git push" protocol exchange tells the ref updates to the receiving end (by recording the "old" object name, the push certificate also protects against replaying). It is expected that new command packet types other than the old-new-refname kind will be included in push certificate in the same way as would appear in the plain vanilla command packets in unsigned pushes. The user then is asked to sign this push certificate using GPG, formatted in a way similar to how signed tag objects are signed, and the result is sent to the other side (i.e. receive-pack). In the protocol exchange, this step comes immediately before the sender tells what the result of the push should be, which in turn comes before it sends the pack data. 3. When the receiving end sees a push certificate, the certificate is written out as a blob. The pre-receive hook can learn about the certificate by checking GIT_PUSH_CERT environment variable, which, if present, tells the object name of this blob, and make the decision to allow or reject this push. Additionally, the post-receive hook can also look at the certificate, which may be a good place to log all the received certificates for later audits. Because a push certificate carry the same information as the usual command packets in the protocol exchange, we can omit the latter when a push certificate is in use and reduce the protocol overhead. This however is not included in this patch to make it easier to review (in other words, the series at this step should never be released without the remainder of the series, as it implements an interim protocol that will be incompatible with the final one). As such, the documentation update for the protocol is left out of this step. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

* push: pass --progress down to git-pack-objectsJeff King2010-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When pushing via builtin transports (like file://, git://), the underlying transport helper (in this case, git-pack-objects) did not get the --progress option, even if it was passed to git push. Fix this, and update the tests to reflect this. Note that according to the git-pack-objects documentation, we can safely apply the usual --progress semantics for the transport commands like clone and fetch (and for pushing over other smart transports).

* git-push: make git push --porcelain print "Done"Larry D'Anna2010-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The script calling git push --porcelain --dry-run can see clearly from the output if an update was rejected. However, it will probably need to distinguish this condition from the push failing for other reasons, such as the remote not being reachable. This patch modifies git push --porcelain to print "Done" after the rest of its output unless any errors have occurred. For the purpose of the "Done" line, knowing a ref will be rejected in a --dry-run does not count as an error. Actual rejections in non --dry-run pushes do count as errors.

* Smart push over HTTP: client sideShawn O. Pearce2009-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request. The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified. For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server. The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas created by human authors against text sources with the occasional small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this buffer if the default is not sufficient. For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked". This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack file locally. Signed-off-by: Shawn O.

* allow OFS_DELTA objects during a pushNicolas Pitre2009-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The fetching of OFS_DELTA objects has been negotiated between both peers since git version 1.4.4. However, this was missing from the push side where every OFS_DELTA objects were always converted to REF_DELTA objects causing an increase in transferred data. To fix this, both the client and the server processes have to be modified: the former to invoke pack-objects with --delta-base-offset when the server provides the ofs-delta capability, and the later to send that capability when OFS_DELTA objects are allowed as already indicated by the repack.usedeltabaseoffset config variable which is TRUE by default since git v1.6.0.

* Move push matching and reporting logic into transport.cDaniel Barkalow2009-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | For native-protocol pushes (and other protocols as they are converted to the new method), this moves the refspec match, tracking update, and report message out of send-pack() and into transport_push(), where it can be shared completely with other protocols. This also makes fetch and push more similar in terms of what code is in what file. Signed-off-by: Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
* Teach send-pack a mirror modeAndy Whitcroft2007-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Existing "git push --all" is almost perfect for backing up to another repository, except that "--all" only means "all branches" in modern git, and it does not delete old branches and tags that exist at the back-up repository that you have removed from your local repository. This teaches "git-send-pack" a new "--mirror" option. The difference from the "--all" option are that (1) it sends all refs, not just branches, and (2) it deletes old refs you no longer have on the local side from the remote side.
