From fb38459d6e58508245553380cccc03c0dbaa1542 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nikola Knezevic Date: Sat, 30 May 2020 12:33:38 +0200 Subject: Ensure we restrict refspec interpretation while fetching As `git fetch` may chose to interpret refspec to it's liking, ensure that we only pass refs that begin with `refs/` as is, otherwise, prepend them with `refs/heads`. Otherwise, branches named `heads/foo` (I know it's bad, but it's allowed), would be fetched as `foo`, instead of `heads/foo`. --- src/libfetchers/git.cc | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/libfetchers/git.cc') diff --git a/src/libfetchers/git.cc b/src/libfetchers/git.cc index e069057eb..75ce5ee8b 100644 --- a/src/libfetchers/git.cc +++ b/src/libfetchers/git.cc @@ -282,7 +282,10 @@ struct GitInput : Input // FIXME: git stderr messes up our progress indicator, so // we're using --quiet for now.
