[PATCH 0/3] limit the size of the packs we receive

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Goal
~~~~

In https://public-inbox.org/git/20150612182045.GA23698%40peff.net/,
Peff sent a patch that is used by GitHub to abort `git receive-pack`
when the size of the pack we receive is bigger than a configured
limit.

GitLab is interested in using the same approach and in standardizing
the error messages the user could get back.

Comments
~~~~~~~~

I kept Peff as the author of the patches that are made mostly from his
patch, but I added my Signed-off-by to them.

Changes from previous RFC version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  - added documentation to all the 3 patches,

  - changed strtoul() to strtoumax() in the first 2 patches, as
    suggested by Peff,

  - changed git_config_ulong() to git_config_int64() and used PRIuMAX
    and uintmax_t in the last patch, as suggested by Peff,

  - reorganized the tests in the last patch, as suggested by Peff

  - improved commit message of the last patch with information from
    Peff
