      transport: add a protocol-whitelist environment variable · a5adaced
      Jeff King 提交于
      If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
      sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
      order to get the complete view as intended by the other
      side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
      user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
      have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
      but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
      exposes them to the attacker).
      
      Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
      high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
      to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
      protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).
      
      We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
      particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
      This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
      defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
      grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
      to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
      since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
      effect, it is the only sensible one).
      
      A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
      test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
      is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
      prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
      unable to test the file-local code on machines without
      apache.
