Git should fail to clone if trying to clone from an non-existing ref namespace, since it's the same as a non-existing repository Signed-off-by: Johannes Löthberg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v1: * Fixed the namespace check, since I apparently forgot to check with a bare repo in my last test. D'oh. Two other options for this would be to either add a get_git_namespace_len() function and use that, or a is_namespaced() functon. But since it's only used here for now at least it feels simpler to not bloat the codabase with another function which has no other use. upload-pack.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/upload-pack.c b/upload-pack.c index 89e832b..99fb271 100644 --- a/upload-pack.c +++ b/upload-pack.c @@ -778,6 +778,10 @@ static void upload_pack(void) head_ref_namespaced(find_symref, &symref); + if (strcmp(get_git_namespace(), "") && !symref.items) { + die("git upload-pack: tried to clone from empty namespace"); + } + if (advertise_refs || !stateless_rpc) { reset_timeout(); head_ref_namespaced(send_ref, &symref); -- 2.4.2 -- 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
