When trying to connect to an ssh:// URL with port explicitly specified
and the ssh command configured with GIT_SSH does not support such a
setting, it is less confusing to error out than to silently suppress
the port setting and continue.
This requires updating the GIT_SSH setting in t5603-clone-dirname.sh.
That test is about the directory name produced when cloning various
URLs. It uses an ssh wrapper that ignores all its arguments but does
not declare that it supports a port argument; update it to set
GIT_SSH_VARIANT=ssh to do so. (Real-life ssh wrappers that pass a
port argument to OpenSSH would also support -G and would not require
such an update.)

Android's "repo" tool is a tool for managing a large codebase
consisting of multiple smaller repositories, similar to Git's
submodule feature. Starting with Git 94b8ae5a (ssh: introduce a
'simple' ssh variant, 2017-10-16), users noticed that it stopped
handling the port in ssh:// URLs.
The cause: when it encounters ssh:// URLs, repo pre-connects to the
server and sets GIT_SSH to a helper ".repo/repo/git_ssh" that reuses
that connection. Before 94b8ae5a, the helper was assumed to support
OpenSSH options for lack of a better guess and got passed a -p option
to set the port. After that patch, it uses the new default of a
simple helper that does not accept an option to set the port.
The next release of "repo" will set GIT_SSH_VARIANT to "ssh" to avoid
that. But users of old versions and of other similar GIT_SSH
implementations would not get the benefit of that fix.
So update the default to use OpenSSH options again, with a twist. As
observed in 94b8ae5a, we cannot assume that $GIT_SSH always handles
OpenSSH options: common helpers such as travis-ci's dpl[*] are
configured using GIT_SSH and do not accept OpenSSH options. So make
the default a new variant "auto", with the following behavior:
1. First, check for a recognized basename, like today.
2. If the basename is not recognized, check whether $GIT_SSH supports
OpenSSH options by running
$GIT_SSH -G <options> <host>
This returns status 0 and prints configuration in OpenSSH if it
recognizes all <options> and returns status 255 if it encounters
an unrecognized option. A wrapper script like
exec ssh -- "$@"
would fail with
ssh: Could not resolve hostname -g: Name or service not known
, correctly reflecting that it does not support OpenSSH options.
The command is run with stdin, stdout, and stderr redirected to
/dev/null so even a command that expects a terminal would exit
immediately.
3. Based on the result from step (2), behave like "ssh" (if it
succeeded) or "simple" (if it failed).
This way, the default ssh variant for unrecognized commands can handle
both the repo and dpl cases as intended.
This autodetection has been running on Google workstations since
2017-10-23 with no reported negative effects.

When using the 'ssh' transport, the '-o' option is used to specify an
environment variable which should be set on the remote end. This allows
git to send additional information when contacting the server,
requesting the use of a different protocol version via the
'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable like so: "-o SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL".
Unfortunately not all ssh variants support the sending of environment
variables to the remote end. To account for this, only use the '-o'
option for ssh variants which are OpenSSH compliant. This is done by
checking that the basename of the ssh command is 'ssh' or the ssh
variant is overridden to be 'ssh' (via the ssh.variant config).
Other options like '-p' and '-P', which are used to specify a specific
port to use, or '-4' and '-6', which are used to indicate that IPV4 or
IPV6 addresses should be used, may also not be supported by all ssh
variants.
Currently if an ssh command's basename wasn't 'plink' or
'tortoiseplink' git assumes that the command is an OpenSSH variant.
Since user configured ssh commands may not be OpenSSH compliant, tighten
this constraint and assume a variant of 'simple' if the basename of the
command doesn't match the variants known to git. The new ssh variant
'simple' will only have the host and command to execute ([username@]host
command) passed as parameters to the ssh command.
Update the Documentation to better reflect the command-line options sent
to ssh commands based on their variant.

Teach the connection logic to tell a serve that it understands protocol
v1. This is done in 2 different ways for the builtin transports, both
of which ultimately set 'GIT_PROTOCOL' to 'version=1' on the server.
1. git://
A normal request to git-daemon is structured as
"command path/to/repo\0host=..\0" and due to a bug introduced in
49ba83fb6 (Add virtualization support to git-daemon, 2006-09-19) we
aren't able to place any extra arguments (separated by NULs) besides
the host otherwise the parsing of those arguments would enter an
infinite loop. This bug was fixed in 73bb33a94 (daemon: Strictly
parse the "extra arg" part of the command, 2009-06-04) but a check
was put in place to disallow extra arguments so that new clients
wouldn't trigger this bug in older servers.
In order to get around this limitation git-daemon was taught to
recognize additional request arguments hidden behind a second
NUL byte. Requests can then be structured like:
"command path/to/repo\0host=..\0\0version=1\0key=value\0".
git-daemon can then parse out the extra arguments and set
'GIT_PROTOCOL' accordingly.
By placing these extra arguments behind a second NUL byte we can
skirt around both the infinite loop bug in 49ba83fb6 (Add
virtualization support to git-daemon, 2006-09-19) as well as the
explicit disallowing of extra arguments introduced in 73bb33a94
(daemon: Strictly parse the "extra arg" part of the command,
2009-06-04) because both of these versions of git-daemon check for a
single NUL byte after the host argument before terminating the
argument parsing.
2. ssh://, file://
Set 'GIT_PROTOCOL' environment variable with the desired protocol
version. With the file:// transport, 'GIT_PROTOCOL' can be set
explicitly in the locally running git-upload-pack or git-receive-pack
processes. With the ssh:// transport and OpenSSH compliant ssh
programs, 'GIT_PROTOCOL' can be sent across ssh by using '-o
SendEnv=GIT_PROTOCOL' and having the server whitelist this
environment variable.

If you have a GIT_PROXY_COMMAND configured, we will run it
with the host/port on the command-line. If a URL contains a
mischievous host like "--foo", we don't know how the proxy
command may handle it. It's likely to break, but it may also
do something dangerous and unwanted (technically it could
even do something useful, but that seems unlikely).
We should err on the side of caution and reject this before
we even run the command.
The hostname check matches the one we do in a similar
circumstance for ssh. The port check is not present for ssh,
but there it's not necessary because the syntax is "-p
<port>", and there's no ambiguity on the parsing side.
It's not clear whether you can actually get a negative port
to the proxy here or not. Doing:
git fetch git://remote:-1234/repo.git
keeps the "-1234" as part of the hostname, with the default
port of 9418. But it's a good idea to keep this check close
to the point of running the command to make it clear that
there's no way to circumvent it (and at worst it serves as a
belt-and-suspenders check).

When commands like "git fetch" talk with ssh://$rest_of_URL/, the
code splits $rest_of_URL into components like host, port, etc., and
then spawns the underlying "ssh" program by formulating argv[] array
that has:
- the path to ssh command taken from GIT_SSH_COMMAND, etc.
- dashed options like '-batch' (for Tortoise), '-p <port>' as
needed.
- ssh_host, which is supposed to be the hostname parsed out of
$rest_of_URL.
- then the command to be run on the other side, e.g. git
upload-pack.
If the ssh_host ends up getting '-<anything>', the argv[] that is
used to spawn the command becomes something like:
{ "ssh", "-p", "22", "-<anything>", "command", "to", "run", NULL }
which obviously is bogus, but depending on the actual value of
"<anything>", will make "ssh" parse and use it as an option.
Prevent this by forbidding ssh_host that begins with a "-".

If we successfully parse a symref value like
"HEAD:refs/heads/master", we add the result to a string
list. But because the string list is marked
STRING_LIST_INIT_DUP, the string list code will make a copy
of the string and add the copy.
This patch fixes it by adding the entry with
string_list_append_nodup(), which lets the string list take
ownership of our newly allocated string. There are two
alternatives that seem like they would work, but aren't the
right solution.
The first is to initialize the list with the "NODUP"
initializer. That would avoid the copy, but then the string
list would not realize that it owns the strings. When we
eventually call string_list_clear(), it would not free the
strings, causing a leak.
The second option would be to use the normal
string_list_append(), but free the local copy in our
function. We can't do this because the local copy actually
contains _two_ strings; the symref name and its target. We
point to the target pointer via the "util" field, and its
memory must last as long as the string list does.
You may also wonder whether it's safe to ever free the local
copy, since the target points into it. The answer is yes,
because we duplicate it in annotaate_refs_with_symref_info
before clearing the string list.

dd33e07766 ("connect: Add the envvar GIT_SSH_VARIANT and ssh.variant
config", 2017-02-01) attempted to add support for configuration and
environment variable to override the different handling of
port_option and needs_batch settings suitable for variants of the
ssh implementation that was autodetected by looking at the ssh
command name. Because it piggybacked on the code that turns command
name to specific override (e.g. "plink.exe" and "plink" means
port_option needs to be set to 'P' instead of the default 'p'), yet
it defined a separate namespace for these overrides (e.g. "putty"
can be usable to signal that port_option needs to be 'P'), however,
it made the auto-detection based on the command name less robust
(e.g. the code now accepts "putty" as a SSH command name and applies
the same override).
Separate the code that interprets the override that was read from
the configuration & environment from the original code that handles
the command names, as they are in separate namespaces, to fix this
confusion.
This incidentally also makes it easier for future enhancement of the
override syntax (e.g. "port_option=p,needs_batch=1" may want to be
accepted as a more explicit syntax) without affecting the code for
auto-detection based on the command name.
While at it, update the return type of the handle_ssh_variant()
helper function to void; the caller does not use it, and the
function does not return any meaningful value.

Git for Windows has special support for the popular SSH client PuTTY:
when using PuTTY's non-interactive version ("plink.exe"), we use the -P
option to specify the port rather than OpenSSH's -p option. TortoiseGit
ships with its own, forked version of plink.exe, that adds support for
the -batch option, and for good measure we special-case that, too.
However, this special-casing of PuTTY only covers the case where the
user overrides the SSH command via the environment variable GIT_SSH
(which allows specifying the name of the executable), not
GIT_SSH_COMMAND (which allows specifying a full command, including
additional command-line options).
When users want to pass any additional arguments to (Tortoise-)Plink,
such as setting a private key, they are required to either use a shell
script named plink or tortoiseplink or duplicate the logic that is
already in Git for passing the correct style of command line arguments,
which can be difficult, error prone and annoying to get right.
This patch simply reuses the existing logic and expands it to cover
GIT_SSH_COMMAND, too.
Note: it may look a little heavy-handed to duplicate the entire
command-line and then split it, only to extract the name of the
executable. However, this is not a performance-critical code path, and
the code is much more readable this way.

When cloning an empty repository served by standard git, "git clone" produces
the following reassuring message:

Meanwhile when cloning an empty repository served by JGit, the output is more

warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
This is a common command to run immediately after creating a remote repository
as preparation for adding content to populate it and pushing. The warning is
confusing and needlessly worrying.
The cause is that, since v3.1.0.201309270735-rc1~22 (Advertise capabilities
with no refs in upload service., 2013-08-08), JGit's ref advertisement includes
a ref named capabilities^{} to advertise its capabilities on, while git's ref
advertisement is empty in this case. This allows the client to learn about the
server's capabilities and is needed, for example, for fetch-by-sha1 to work
when no refs are advertised.
This also affects "ls-remote". For example, against an empty repository served
by JGit:
$ git ls-remote git://localhost/tmp/empty
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 capabilities^{}
Git advertises the same capabilities^{} ref in its ref advertisement for push
but since it never did so for fetch, the client didn't need to handle this
case. Handle it.

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Noticed while examining this code. This case isn't likely to come up
in practice but tightening the check makes the code easier to read and
manipulate.

Similar to $GIT_ASKPASS or $GIT_PROXY_COMMAND, we also read from
config file first then fall back to $GIT_SSH_COMMAND.
This is useful for selecting different private keys targetting the
same host (e.g. github)

The two alternative ways to spell "ssh://" transport have been
deprecated for a long time. The last mention of them has finally
removed from the documentation.
* cn/deprecate-ssh-git-url:
Disown ssh+git and git+ssh
Some people argue that these were silly from the beginning (see
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/285590/focus=285601
for example), but we have to support them for compatibility.
That doesn't mean we have to show them in the documentation. These
were already left out of the main list, but a reference in the main
manpage was left, so remove that.
Also add a note to discourage their use if anybody goes looking for them
in the source code.

Sometimes it is necessary to force IPv4-only or IPv6-only operation
on networks where name lookups may return a non-routable address and
stall remote operations.
The ssh(1) command has an equivalent switches which we may pass when
we run them. There may be old ssh(1) implementations out there
which do not support these switches; they should report the
appropriate error in that case.
rsync support is untouched for now since it is deprecated and
scheduled to be removed.
