Hi everyone, FWIW, I have no objection to this removal ! Signed-off-by: Stelian Pop <stelian@xxxxxxxxxx> Best, Stelian. Le 22/03/2024 à 08:31, Johannes Schindelin a écrit :
Hi Jeff, I Cc:ed Mat (who reported the issue) and Stelian (who added this script in 2007 and whose email address hopefully still works). While I have no objection to dropping this script, I am reluctant to drop it without leaving anything helpful in place. I am thinking about something like a `README.md` that would contain helpful information for any interested reader. I am not good writing such things, so I asked Copilot, and it came up with this: The `hg-to-git` script, which was used to integrate Mercurial repositories into Git, has been dropped due to lack of maintenance. There have been many past endeavors to integrate Mercurial repositories into Git, but not all of them have been successful. For those who are interested in this topic, there is still an active project called Cinnabar, which can be found on GitHub. You can learn more about it by visiting the Cinnabar repository at https://github.com/glandium/git-cinnabar. Ciao, Johannes On Wed, 20 Mar 2024, Jeff King wrote:The hg-to-git script is full of command injection vulnerabilities against malicious branch and tag names. It's also old and largely unmaintained; the last commit was over 4 years ago, and the last code change before that was from 2013. Users are better off with a modern remote-helper tool like cinnabar or remote-hg. So rather than spending time to fix it, let's just get rid of it. Reported-by: Matthew Rollings <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- This was reported to the security list in December. I suggested there that we should just get rid of it, but there was no follow-up. Until now. ;) Speak now if anybody wants to volunteer to fix the script instead. contrib/hg-to-git/hg-to-git.py | 254 -------------------------------- contrib/hg-to-git/hg-to-git.txt | 21 --- 2 files changed, 275 deletions(-) delete mode 100755 contrib/hg-to-git/hg-to-git.py delete mode 100644 contrib/hg-to-git/hg-to-git.txt diff --git a/contrib/hg-to-git/hg-to-git.py b/contrib/hg-to-git/hg-to-git.py deleted file mode 100755 index 7eb1b24cc7..0000000000 --- a/contrib/hg-to-git/hg-to-git.py +++ /dev/null @@ -1,254 +0,0 @@ -#!/usr/bin/env python - -""" hg-to-git.py - A Mercurial to GIT converter - - Copyright (C)2007 Stelian Pop <stelian@xxxxxxxxxx> - - This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify - it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by - the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) - any later version. - - This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, - but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of - MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
