Edward Thomson f0e693b1 2021-09-07T17:53:49 str: introduce `git_str` for internal, `git_buf` is external libgit2 has two distinct requirements that were previously solved by `git_buf`. We require: 1. A general purpose string class that provides a number of utility APIs for manipulating data (eg, concatenating, truncating, etc). 2. A structure that we can use to return strings to callers that they can take ownership of. By using a single class (`git_buf`) for both of these purposes, we have confused the API to the point that refactorings are difficult and reasoning about correctness is also difficult. Move the utility class `git_buf` to be called `git_str`: this represents its general purpose, as an internal string buffer class. The name also is an homage to Junio Hamano ("gitstr"). The public API remains `git_buf`, and has a much smaller footprint. It is generally only used as an "out" param with strict requirements that follow the documentation. (Exceptions exist for some legacy APIs to avoid breaking callers unnecessarily.) Utility functions exist to convert a user-specified `git_buf` to a `git_str` so that we can call internal functions, then converting it back again.
Patrick Steinhardt e54343a4 2019-06-29T09:17:32 fileops: rename to "futils.h" to match function signatures Our file utils functions all have a "futils" prefix, e.g. `git_futils_touch`. One would thus naturally guess that their definitions and implementation would live in files "futils.h" and "futils.c", respectively, but in fact they live in "fileops.h". Rename the files to match expectations.

Carlos Martín Nieto 397abe98 2018-05-14T16:03:15 submodule: also validate Windows-separated paths for validity Otherwise we would also admit `..\..\foo\bar` as a valid path and fail to protect Windows users. Ideally we would check for both separators without the need for the copied string, but this'll get us over the RCE.
Carlos Martín Nieto 6b15ceac 2018-04-30T13:47:15 submodule: ignore submodules which include path traversal in their name If the we decide that the "name" of the submodule (i.e. its path inside `.git/modules/`) is trying to escape that directory or otherwise trick us, we ignore the configuration for that submodule. This leaves us with a half-configured submodule when looking it up by path, but it's the same result as if the configuration really were missing. The name check is potentially more strict than it needs to be, but it lets us re-use the check we're doing for the checkout. The function that encapsulates this logic is ready to be exported but we don't want to do that in a security release so it remains internal for now.
