While working on another series, I noticed that upload-pack will accept
the "packfile-uris" directive even if we didn't advertise it. That's not
a huge deal in practice, but the spec says we're not supposed to. And
while cleaning that up, I noticed a bit of duplication in the existing
advertisement/allow code.

So patches 1-3 clean up the situation a bit, and then patch 4 tightens
up the packfile-uris handling.

There are some small textual conflicts with the series I just posted in:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/20240228223700.GA1157826@coredump.intra.peff.net/

I'm happy to prepare this on top of that if it's easier.

  [1/4]: upload-pack: use repository struct to get config
  [2/4]: upload-pack: centralize setup of sideband-all config
  [3/4]: upload-pack: use existing config mechanism for advertisement
  [4/4]: upload-pack: only accept packfile-uris if we advertised it

```
Our upload_pack_v2() function gets a repository struct, but we ignore it
totally.  In practice this doesn't cause any problems, as it will never
differ from the_repository. But in the spirit of taking a small step
towards getting rid of the_repository, let's at least starting using it
to grab config. There are probably other spots that could benefit, but
it's a start.

Note that we don't need to pass the repo for protected_config(); the
whole point there is that we are not looking at repo config, so there is
no repo-specific version of the function.

For the v0 version of the protocol, we're not passed a repository
struct, so we'll continue to use the_repository there.

Subject: [PATCH 2/4] upload-pack: centralize setup of sideband-all config
Message-ID: <20240228224718.GB1158898@coredump.intra.peff.net>

```
We read uploadpack.allowsidebandall to set a matching flag in our
upload_pack_data struct. But for our tests, we also respect
GIT_TEST_SIDEBAND_ALL from the environment, and anybody looking at the
flag in the struct needs to remember to check both. There's only one
such piece of code now, but we're about to add another.

So let's have the config step actually fold the environment value into
the struct, letting the rest of the code use the flag in the obvious
way.

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] upload-pack: use existing config mechanism for advertisement
Message-ID: <20240228224818.GA1158952@coredump.intra.peff.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20240228224818.GA1158952%40coredump.intra.peff.net
In-Reply-To: <20240228224625.GA1158651@coredump.intra.peff.net>

```
When serving a v2 capabilities request, we call upload_pack_advertise()
to tell us the set of features we can advertise to the client. That
involves looking at various config options, all of which need to be kept
in sync with the rules we use in upload_pack_config to set flags like
allow_filter, allow_sideband_all, and so on. If these two pieces of code
get out of sync then we may refuse to respect a capability we
advertised, or vice versa accept one that we should not.

Instead, let's call the same config helper that we'll use for processing
the actual client request, and then just pick the values out of the
resulting struct. This is only a little bit shorter than the current
code, but we don't repeat any policy logic (e.g., we don't have to worry
about the magic sideband-all environment variable here anymore).

And this reveals a gap in the existing code: there is no struct flag for
the packfile-uris capability (we accept it even if it is not advertised,
which we should not). We'll leave the advertisement code for now and
deal with it in the next patch.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] upload-pack: only accept packfile-uris if we advertised it
Message-ID: <20240228225050.GA1159078@coredump.intra.peff.net>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20240228225050.GA1159078%40coredump.intra.peff.net
In-Reply-To: <20240228224625.GA1158651@coredump.intra.peff.net>

```
Clients are only supposed to request particular capabilities or features
if the server advertised them. For the "packfile-uris" feature, we only
advertise it if uploadpack.blobpacfileuri is set, but we always accept a
request from the client regardless.

In practice this doesn't really hurt anything, as we'd pass the client's
protocol list on to pack-objects, which ends up ignoring it. But we
should try to follow the protocol spec, and tightening this up may catch
buggy or misbehaving clients more easily.

Thanks to recent refactoring, we can hoist the config check from
upload_pack_advertise() into upload_pack_config(). Note the subtle
handling of a value-less bool (which does not count for triggering an
advertisement).

I suspect in the long term that we may have other ways to trigger this
feature than the static blobpackfileuri config (e.g., a hook that knows
about site-specific packfiles "somehow"). So we may need to update the
test later for that, but presumably in the vanilla config we'll continue
to skip advertising it.

Yep, that matches the resolution I did locally.

Sorry, this needs one tweak to pass under the sha256 CI job:

Otherwise the server complains that the other side did not respect its

Ah, good finding.  Will use it to amend.

I wonder if it is still worth testing if the command is happy with
an input that lacks object-format capability under SHA-1 mode.  This
test piece is primarily about packfile-uris, so in that sense, we
are not all that interested in that unspecified client object-format
defaults to the initial value of serve.c:client_hash_algo (which is
SHA-1), and not testing that here is perfectly fine, I guess.

Thanks.

Yeah, if we want to test it, I'd prefer to do so separately as its own
test rather than keeping it as a subtle side effect of this one. I
looked around to see if it might exist already, but I didn't find one
(OTOH, it is hard to grep for since we are looking for the _absence_ of
an object-format line in hand-crafted input).

But taking a step back, why do we care about this case? It is because
older clients that speak v2 but do not yet know about object-format will
make a request without it, and they should still work in sha1 mode. So
the more general thing to test here is whether those older versions can
successfully fetch from a newer server.

There are tests in t/interop for cloning and fetching from a different
version. I kind of doubt anybody runs them regularly, though (and
picking the interesting versions to find this case isn't entirely
trivial). So I dunno.

This patch series was really easy to follow and feels like the right
thing to do. I've got a couple of nits, but none of them are important
enough to warrant a reroll.

Thanks!

Thanks for reviewing. The typos you found are definitely all wrong, but
I think the topic is in 'next' already (and they were all just in the
commit messages).
