In addition, various other -issues are checked for, including legacy issues (see `fsck.<msg-id>`), -and potential security issues like the existence of a `.GIT` directory -or a malicious `.gitmodules` file (see the release notes for v2.2.1 -and v2.17.1 for details). Other sanity and security checks may be -added in future releases. -+ -On the receiving side, failing fsckObjects will make those objects -unreachable, see "QUARANTINE ENVIRONMENT" in -linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. On the fetch side, malformed objects will -instead be left unreferenced in the repository. -+ -Due to the non-quarantine nature of the `fetch.fsckObjects` -implementation it cannot be relied upon to leave the object store -clean like `receive.fsckObjects` can. -+ -As objects are unpacked they're written to the object store, so there -can be cases where malicious objects get introduced even though the -"fetch" failed, only to have a subsequent "fetch" succeed because only -new incoming objects are checked, not those that have already been -written to the object store. That difference in behavior should not be -relied upon. In the future, such objects may be quarantined for -"fetch" as well. -+ -For now, the paranoid need to find some way to emulate the quarantine -environment if they'd like the same protection as "push". E.g. in the -case of an internal mirror do the mirroring in two steps, one to fetch -the untrusted objects, and then do a second "push" (which will use the -quarantine) to another internal repo, and have internal clients -consume this pushed-to repository, or embargo internal fetches and -only allow them once a full "fsck" has run (and no new fetches have -happened in the meantime). - -transfer.hideRefs:: - String(s) `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` use to decide which - refs to omit from their initial advertisements. Use more than - one definition to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that is - under the hierarchies listed in the value of this variable is - excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git push` or `git - fetch`. See `receive.hideRefs` and `uploadpack.hideRefs` for - program-specific versions of this config. -+ -You may also include a `!` in front of the ref name to negate the entry, -explicitly exposing it, even if an earlier entry marked it as hidden. -If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones -(and entries in more-specific config files override less-specific ones). -+ -If a namespace is in use, the namespace prefix is stripped from each -reference before it is matched against `transfer.hiderefs` patterns. -For example, if `refs/heads/master` is specified in `transfer.hideRefs` and -the current namespace is `foo`, then `refs/namespaces/foo/refs/heads/master` -is omitted from the advertisements but `refs/heads/master` and -`refs/namespaces/bar/refs/heads/master` are still advertised as so-called -"have" lines. In order to match refs before stripping, add a `^` in front of -the ref name. If you combine `!` and `^`, `!` must be specified first. -+ -Even if you hide refs, a client may still be able to steal the target -objects via the techniques described in the "SECURITY" section of the -linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's best to keep private data in a -separate repository. - -transfer.unpackLimit:: - When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are - not set, the value of this variable is used instead. - The default value is 100. |
