Fredrik Medley	68ee628932	upload-pack: optionally allow fetching reachable sha1 With uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant configuration option set on the server side, "git fetch" can make a request with a "want" line that names an object that has not been advertised (likely to have been obtained out of band or from a submodule pointer). Only objects reachable from the branch tips, i.e. the union of advertised branches and branches hidden by transfer.hideRefs, will be processed. Note that there is an associated cost of having to walk back the history to check the reachability. This feature can be used when obtaining the content of a certain commit, for which the sha1 is known, without the need of cloning the whole repository, especially if a shallow fetch is used. Useful cases are e.g. repositories containing large files in the history, fetching only the needed data for a submodule checkout, when sharing a sha1 without telling which exact branch it belongs to and in Gerrit, if you think in terms of commits instead of change numbers. (The Gerrit case has already been solved through allowTipSHA1InWant as every Gerrit change has a ref.)

Ronnie Sahlberg	1b70fe5d30	receive-pack.c: negotiate atomic push support This adds the atomic protocol option to allow receive-pack to inform the client that it has atomic push capability. This commit makes the functionality introduced in the previous commits go live for the serving side. The changes in documentation reflect the protocol capabilities of the server.

Thomas Ackermann	f745acb028	Documentation: typofixes In addition to fixing trivial and obvious typos, be careful about the following points: - Spell ASCII, URL and CRC in ALL CAPS; - Spell Linux as Capitalized; - Do not omit periods in "i.e." and "e.g.".

Junio C Hamano	b89363e4a5	signed push: fortify against replay attacks In order to prevent a valid push certificate for pushing into an repository from getting replayed in a different push operation, send a nonce string from the receive-pack process and have the signer include it in the push certificate. The receiving end uses an HMAC hash of the path to the repository it serves and the current time stamp, hashed with a secret seed (the secret seed does not have to be per-repository but can be defined in /etc/gitconfig) to generate the nonce, in order to ensure that a random third party cannot forge a nonce that looks like it originated from it. The original nonce is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE for the hooks to examine and match against the value on the "nonce" header in the certificate to notice a replay, but returned "nonce" header in the push certificate is examined by receive-pack and the result is exported as GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS, whose value would be "OK" if the nonce recorded in the certificate matches what we expect, so that the hooks can more easily check.

Junio C Hamano	4adf569dea	signed push: remove duplicated protocol info With the interim protocol, we used to send the update commands even though we already send a signed copy of the same information when push certificate is in use. Update the send-pack/receive-pack pair not to do so. The notable thing on the receive-pack side is that it makes sure that there is no command sent over the traditional protocol packet outside the push certificate. Otherwise a pusher can claim to be pushing one set of ref updates in the signed certificate while issuing commands to update unrelated refs, and such an update will evade later audits. Finally, start documenting the protocol. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	11 years ago

Carlos Martín Nieto	1ba98a79f1	send-pack: don't send a thin pack to a server which doesn't support it Up to now git has assumed that all servers are able to fix thin packs. This is however not always the case. Document the 'no-thin' capability and prevent send-pack from generating a thin pack if the server advertises it.

Jeff King	9354b9a4f0	docs: note that receive-pack knows side-band-64k capability The protocol-capabilities documentation notes that any capabilities not explicitly mentioned for receive-pack work only for upload-pack. Receive-pack has advertised and understood side-band-64k since `38a81b4` (receive-pack: Wrap status reports inside side-band-64k, 2010-02-05), but we do not mention it explicitly. Let's do so. Note that receive-pack does not understand side-band, which was obsolete by that point. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	12 years ago

Scott Chacon	b31222cfb7	Update packfile transfer protocol documentation The current technical documentation for the packfile protocol is both sparse and incorrect. This documents the fetch-pack/upload-pack and send-pack/ receive-pack protocols much more fully. Add documentation from Shawn's upcoming http-protocol docs that is shared by the packfile protocol. protocol-common.txt describes ABNF notation amendments, refname rules and the packet line format. Add documentation on the various capabilities supported by the upload-pack and receive-pack protocols. protocol-capabilities.txt describes multi-ack, thin-pack, side-band[-64k], shallow, no-progress, include-tag, ofs-delta, delete-refs and report-status.
