Jeff King 5f64279443 upload-pack: always turn off save_commit_buffer
When the client sends us "want $oid" lines, we call parse_object($oid)
to get an object struct. It's important to parse the commits because we
need to traverse them in the negotiation phase. But of course we don't
need to hold on to the commit messages for each one.

We've turned off the save_commit_buffer flag in get_common_commits() for
a long time, since f0243f26f6 (git-upload-pack: More efficient usage of
the has_sha1 array, 2005-10-28). That helps with the commits we see
while actually traversing. But:

  1. That function is only used by the v0 protocol. I think the v2
     protocol's code path leaves the flag on (and thus pays the extra
     memory penalty), though I didn't measure it specifically.

  2. If the client sends us a bunch of "want" lines, that happens before
     the negotiation phase. So we'll hold on to all of those commit
     messages. Generally the number of "want" lines scales with the
     refs, not with the number of objects in the repo. But a malicious
     client could send a lot in order to waste memory.

As an example of (2), if I generate a request to fetch all commits in
git.git like this:

  pktline() {
    local msg="$*"
    printf "%04x%s\n" $((1+4+${#msg})) "$msg"
  }

  want_commits() {
    pktline command=fetch
    printf 0001
    git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objectname) %(objecttype)' |
      while read oid type; do
        test "$type" = "commit" || continue
        pktline want $oid
      done
      pktline done
      printf 0000
  }

  want_commits | GIT_PROTOCOL=version=2 valgrind --tool=massif git-upload-pack . >/dev/null

before this patch upload-pack peaks at ~125MB, and after at ~35MB. The
difference is not coincidentally about the same as the sum of all commit
object sizes as computed by:

  git cat-file --batch-all-objects --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectsize)' |
  perl -alne '$v += $F[1] if $F[0] eq "commit"; END { print $v }'

In a larger repository like linux.git, that number is ~1GB.

In a repository with a full commit-graph file this will have no impact
(and the commit graph would save us from parsing at all, so is a much
better solution!). But it's easy to do, might help a little in
real-world cases (where even if you have a commit graph it might not be
fully up to date), and helps a lot for a worst-case malicious request.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
