We added an "object-info" capability to the v2 upload-pack protocol in
a2ba162cda (object-info: support for retrieving object info,
2021-04-20). In the almost 3 years since, we have not added any
client-side support, and it does not appear to exist in other
implementations either (JGit understands the verb on the server side,
but not on the client side).
Since this largely unused code is accessible over the network by
default, it increases the attack surface of upload-pack. I don't know of
any particularly severe problem, but one issue is that because of the
request/response nature of the v2 protocol, it will happily read an
unbounded number of packets, adding each one to a string list (without
regard to whether they are objects we know about, duplicates, etc).
This may be something we want to improve in the long run, but in the
short term it makes sense to disable the feature entirely. We'll add a
config option as an escape hatch for anybody who wants to develop the
feature further.
A more gentle option would be to add the config option to let people
disable it manually, but leave it enabled by default. But given that
there's no client side support, that seems like the wrong balance with
security.
Disabling by default will slow adoption a bit once client-side support
does become available (there were some patches[1] in 2022, but nothing
got merged and there's been nothing since). But clients have to deal
with older servers that do not understand the option anyway (and the
capability system handles that), so it will just be a matter of servers
flipping their config at that point (and hopefully once any unbounded
allocations have been addressed).

rebased forward and with a new commit message for upstream]

oidhash() was used by both hashmap and khash, which makes sense.
However, the location of this function in hashmap.[ch] meant that
khash.h had to depend upon hashmap.h, making people unfamiliar with
khash think that it was built upon hashmap. (Or at least, I personally
was confused for a while about this in the past.)
Move this function to hash-ll, so that khash.h can stop depending upon
hashmap.h.
This has another benefit as well: it allows us to remove hashmap.h's
dependency on hash-ll.h. While some callers of hashmap.h were making
use of oidhash, most were not, so this change provides another way to
reduce the number of includes.

need to look at their parameters, especially the "repository" parameter.
We can mark them so that -Wunused-parameter doesn't complain.
Note that upload_pack_v2() probably _should_ be using its repository
pointer. But teaching the functions it calls to do so is non-trivial.
Even using it for something as simple as reading config is tricky, both
because it shares code with the v1 upload pack, and because the
git_protected_config() mechanism it uses does not have a repo-specific
interface. So we'll just annotate it for now, and cleaning it up can be
part of the larger work to drop references to the_repository.

A few of the v2 "serve" callbacks ignore their repository parameter and
read config using the_repository (either directly or implicitly by
calling wrapper functions). This isn't a bug since the server code only
handles a single main repository anyway (and indeed, if you look at the
callers, these repository parameters will always be the_repository). But
in the long run we want to get rid of the_repository, so let's take a
tiny step in that direction.

Add a skeleton server-side implementation of a new "bundle-uri" command
to protocol v2. This will allow conforming clients to optionally seed
their initial clones or incremental fetches from URLs containing
"*.bundle" files created with "git bundle create".
This change only performs the basic boilerplate of advertising a new
protocol v2 capability. The new 'bundle-uri' capability allows a client
to request a list of bundles. Right now, the server only returns a flush
packet, which corresponds to an empty advertisement. The bundle.* config
namespace describes which key-value pairs will be communicated across
this interface in future updates.
The critical bit right now is that the new boolean
uploadPack.adverstiseBundleURIs config value signals whether or not this
capability should be advertised at all.
An earlier version of this patch [1] used a different transfer format
than the "key=value" pairs in the current implementation. The change was
made to unify the protocol v2 command with the bundle lists provided by
independent bundle servers. Further, the standard allows for the server
to advertise a URI that contains a bundle list. This allows users
automatically discovering bundle providers that are loosely associated
with the origin server, but without the origin server knowing exactly
which bundles are currently available.

Our table of v2 "capabilities" contains everything we might tell the
client we support. But there are differences in how we expect the client
to respond. Some of the entries are true capabilities (i.e., we expect
the client to say "yes, I support this"), and some are ones we expect
them to send as commands (with "command=ls-refs" or similar).
When we receive a capability used as a command, we complain about that.
But when we receive a command used as a capability (e.g., just "ls-refs"
in a pkt-line by itself), we silently ignore it.
This isn't really hurting anything (clients shouldn't send it, and we'll
ignore it), but we can tighten up the protocol to match what we expect
to happen.
There are two new tests here. The first one checks a capability used as
a command, which already passes. The second tests a command as a
capability, which this patch fixes.

When we see a line from the client like "command=ls-refs", we parse
everything after the equals sign as a capability, which we check against
our capabilities table. If we don't recognize the command (e.g.,
"command=foo"), we'll reject it.
But in parse_command(), we use the same get_capability() parser for
parsing non-command lines. So if we see "command=ls-refs=foo", we will
feed "ls-refs=foo" to get_capability(), which will say "OK, that's
ls-refs, with value 'foo'". But then we simply ignore the value
entirely.
The client is violating the spec here, which says:
command = PKT-LINE("command=" key LF)
key = 1*(ALPHA | DIGIT | "-_")
I.e., the key is not even allowed to have an equals sign in it. Whereas
a real non-command capability does allow a value:
capability = PKT-LINE(key[=value] LF)
So by reusing the same get_capability() parser, we are mixing up the
"key" and "capability" tokens. However, since that parser tells us
whether it saw an "=", we can still use it; we just need to reject any
input that produces a non-NULL value field.
The current behavior isn't really hurting anything (the client should
never send such a request, and if it does, we just ignore the "value"
part). But since it does violate the spec, let's tighten it up to
prevent any surprising behavior.

We collect the set of capabilities the client sends us in a strvec.
While this is usually small, there's no limit to the number of
capabilities the client can send us (e.g., they could just send us
"agent" pkt-lines over and over, and we'd keep adding them to the list).
Since all code has been converted away from using this list, let's get
rid of it. This avoids a potential attack where clients waste our
memory.
Note that we do have to replace it with a flag, because some of the
flush-packet logic checks whether we've seen any valid commands or keys.

Rather than pulling the session-id string from the list of collected
capabilities, we can handle it as soon as we receive it. This gets us
closer to dropping the collected list entirely.
The behavior should be the same, with one exception. Previously if the
client sent us multiple session-id lines, we'd report only the first.
Now we'll pass each one along to trace2. This shouldn't matter in
practice, since clients shouldn't do that (and if they do, it's probably
sensible to log them all).
As this removes the last caller of the static has_capability(), we can
remove it, as well (and in fact we must to avoid -Wunused-function
complaining).

We get any "object-format" specified by the client by searching for it
in the collected list of capabilities the client sent. We can instead
just handle it as soon as they send it. This is slightly more efficient,
and gets us one step closer to dropping that collected list.
Note that we do still have to do our final hash check after receiving
all capabilities (because they might not have sent an object-format line
at all, and we still have to check that the default matches our
repository algorithm). Since the check_algorithm() function would now be
down to a single if() statement, I've just inlined it in its only
caller.
There should be no change of behavior here, except for two
broken-protocol cases:
- if the client sends multiple conflicting object-format capabilities
(which they should not), we'll now choose the last one rather than
the first. We could also detect and complain about the duplicates
quite easily now, which we could not before, but I didn't do so
here.
- if the client sends a bogus "object-format" with no equals sign,
we'll now say so, rather than "unknown object format: ''"

We have a capabilities table that tells us what we should tell the
client we are capable of, and what to do when a client gives us a
particular command (e.g., "command=ls-refs"). But it doesn't tell us
what to do when the client sends us back a capability (e.g.,
"object-format=sha256"). We just collect them all in a strvec and hope
somebody can use them later.
Instead, let's provide a function pointer in the table to act on these.
This will eventually help us avoid collecting the strings, which will be
more efficient and less prone to mischief.
Using the new method is optional, which helps in two ways:
- we can move existing capabilities over to this new system gradually
in individual commits
- some capabilities we don't actually do anything with anyway. For
example, the client is free to say "agent=git/1.2.3" to us, but we
do not act on the information in any way.

When the client sends v2 capabilities, they may be simple, like:
foo
or have a value like:
foo=bar
(all of the current capabilities actually expect a value, but the
protocol allows for boolean ones).
We use get_capability() to make sure the client's pktline matches a
capability. In doing so, we parse enough to see the "=" and the value
(if any), but we immediately forget it. Nobody cares for now, because they end
up parsing the values out later using has_capability(). But in
preparation for changing that, let's pass back a pointer so the callers
know what we found.
Note that unlike has_capability(), we'll return NULL for a "simple"
capability. Distinguishing these will be useful for some future patches.

The "advertise capabilities" mode of serve.c added in
ed10cb952d (serve: introduce git-serve, 2018-03-15) is only used by
the http-backend.c to call {upload,receive}-pack with the
--advertise-refs parameter. See 42526b478e (Add stateless RPC options
to upload-pack, receive-pack, 2009-10-30).
Let's just make cmd_upload_pack() take the two (v2) or three (v2)
parameters the the v2/v1 servicing functions need directly, and pass
those in via the function signature. The logic of whether daemon mode
is implied by the timeout belongs in the v1 function (only used
there).
Once we split up the "advertise v2 refs" from "serve v2 request" it
becomes clear that v2 never cared about those in combination. The only
time it mattered was for v1 to emit its ref advertisement, in that
case we wanted to emit the smart-http-only "no-done" capability.
Since we only do that in the --advertise-refs codepath let's just have
it set "do_done" itself in v1's upload_pack() just before send_ref(),
at that point --advertise-refs and --stateless-rpc in combination are
redundant (the only user is get_info_refs() in http-backend.c), so we
can just pass in --advertise-refs only.
Since we need to touch all the serve() and advertise_capabilities()
codepaths let's rename them to less clever and obvious names, it's
been suggested numerous times, the latest of which is [1]'s suggestion
for protocol_v2_serve_loop(). Let's go with that.

When cloning, we choose the default branch based on the remote HEAD.
But if there is no remote HEAD reported (which could happen if the
target of the remote HEAD is unborn), we'll fall back to using our local
init.defaultBranch. Traditionally this hasn't been a big deal, because
most repos used "master" as the default. But these days it is likely to
cause confusion if the server and client implementations choose
different values (e.g., if the remote started with "main", we may choose
"master" locally, create commits there, and then the user is surprised
when they push to "master" and not "main").
To solve this, the remote needs to communicate the target of the HEAD
symref, even if it is unborn, and "git clone" needs to use this
information.
Currently, symrefs that have unborn targets (such as in this case) are
not communicated by the protocol. Teach Git to advertise and support the
"unborn" feature in "ls-refs" (by default, this is advertised, but
server administrators may turn this off through the lsrefs.unborn
config). This feature indicates that "ls-refs" supports the "unborn"
argument; when it is specified, "ls-refs" will send the HEAD symref with
the name of its unborn target.
This change is only for protocol v2. A similar change for protocol v0
would require independent protocol design (there being no analogous
position to signal support for "unborn") and client-side plumbing of the
data required, so the scope of this patch set is limited to protocol v2.
The client side will be updated to use this in a subsequent commit.

In the Git pack protocol definition, an error packet may appear only in
a certain context. However, servers can face a runtime error (e.g. I/O
error) at an arbitrary timing. This patch changes the protocol to allow
an error packet to be sent instead of any packet.
Without this protocol spec change, when a server cannot process a
request, there's no way to tell that to a client. Since the server
cannot produce a valid response, it would be forced to cut a connection
without telling why. With this protocol spec change, the server can be
more gentle in this situation. An old client may see these error packets
as an unexpected packet, but this is not worse than having an unexpected
EOF.
Following this protocol spec change, the error packet handling code is
moved to pkt-line.c. Implementation wise, this implementation uses
pkt-line to communicate with a subprocess. Since this is not a part of
Git protocol, it's possible that a packet that is not supposed to be an
error packet is mistakenly parsed as an error packet. This error packet
handling is enabled only for the Git pack protocol parsing code
considering this.

Protocol version 2 is intended to be a replacement for Git's current

wasteful protocol which can evolve over time.
Protocol version 2 improves upon version 1 by eliminating the initial
ref advertisement. In its place a server will export a list of
