[PATCH 13/24] bundle-uri: limit recursion depth for bundle lists

From
Derrick Stolee via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<00dc67f5188b107d5ddaf8b32f03fa61f515a5ec.1653072042.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1234.git.1653072042.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com>

The next change will start allowing us to parse bundle lists that are downloaded from a provided bundle URI. Those lists might point to other lists, which could proceed to an arbitrary depth (and even create cycles). Restructure fetch_bundle_uri() to have an internal version that has a recursion depth. Compare that to a new max_bundle_uri_depth constant that is twice as high as we expect this depth to be for any legitimate use of bundle list linking.

We can consider making max_bundle_uri_depth a configurable value if there is demonstrated value in the future.
