In t1430, we check whether deleting the branch "../../foo" will delete ".git/foo". However, this is not that interesting a test; the precious file ".git/foo" does not look like a ref, so even if we did not notice the "escape" from the "refs/" hierarchy, we would fail for that reason (i.e., if you turned refname_is_safe into a noop, the test still passes). Let's add an additional test for the same thing, but with a file that actually looks like a ref. That will make sure we are exercising the refname_is_safe code. While we're at it, let's also make the code work a little harder by adding some extra paths and some empty path components. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- This was originally included to exercise refname_is_safe(), because in the v1 series I refactored it (here I just avoid calling it entirely). So it's not as important in v2. But AFAICT, we do not exercise refname_is_safe() at all in the test suite without this patch, so it's probably a good thing to do regardless. t/t1430-bad-ref-name.sh | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/t/t1430-bad-ref-name.sh b/t/t1430-bad-ref-name.sh index 468e856..16d0b8b 100755 --- a/t/t1430-bad-ref-name.sh +++ b/t/t1430-bad-ref-name.sh @@ -68,6 +68,14 @@ test_expect_success 'branch -D cannot delete non-ref in .git dir' ' test_cmp expect .git/my-private-file ' +test_expect_success 'branch -D cannot delete ref in .git dir' ' + git rev-parse HEAD >.git/my-private-file && + git rev-parse HEAD >expect && + git branch foo/legit && + test_must_fail git branch -D foo////./././../../../my-private-file && + test_cmp expect .git/my-private-file +' + test_expect_success 'branch -D cannot delete absolute path' ' git branch -f extra && test_must_fail git branch -D "$(pwd)/.git/refs/heads/extra" && -- 2.4.0.rc2.384.g7297a4a -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
