[v3,1/1] protocol: advertise multiple supported versions

Currently the client advertises that it supports the wire protocol
version set in the protocol.version config. However, not all services
support the same set of protocol versions. When connecting to
git-receive-pack, the client automatically downgrades to v0 if
config.protocol is set to v2, but this check is not performed for other
services.

This patch creates a protocol version registry. Individual operations
register all the protocol versions they support prior to communicating
with a server. Versions should be listed in preference order; the
version specified in protocol.version will automatically be moved to the
front of the registry.

The protocol version registry is passed to remote helpers via the
GIT_PROTOCOL environment variable.

Clients now advertise the full list of registered versions. Servers
select the first recognized version from this advertisement.

Thanks for resending this patch!

If this is a real BUG (due to wrong program flow) instead of bad user input,
we would not want to burden the translators with this message.

If it is a message that the user is intended to see upon bad input
we'd rather go with die(_("translatable text here"));

We keep extern here as to imitate the file-local style, although
Documentation/CodingGuidelines would prefer to not have the extern keywords.
Okay.

Bonus points for converting the file to omit all extern keywords in a
resend. :-)
(I think there is no other series currently in flight touching this header file,
so it is safe to convert it "while at it", `git log --grep "while at
it"` is shorter
than expected.)

All that said, it's only nits that I contributed to this code review;
the code/design
looks good to me, and if I were maintainer I'd include it as-is, as it
fixes a long(ish)
standing protocol error.

Thanks,
Stefan

"downgrades to v0 even if ... is set to v2" you mean?  Otherwise it
is unclear why asking for v2 leads to using v0.

So the idea is that the protocols the other end can talk come in
advert in their preferred order, and we take an intersection of them
and our "allowed-versions", but the preference is further skewed
with the "swap" thing if we have our own preference specified via
config?

I am wondering if the code added by this patch outside this
function, with if (strcmp(client_ad.buf, "version=0") sprinkled all
over the place, works sensibly when the other side says "I prefer
version=0 but I do not mind talking version=1".

Isn't tmp_allowed_versions[] leaking when we return from this
function?

We don't do C99 yet, thus the declaration of a loop variable like this
is not allowed and triggers compiler errors.

The downgrade on push happens only when the the configured version is
v2. If v1 is requested, no downgrade is triggered. I'll clarify the
commit message in the next version.

We currently don't intersect with our own allowed list, we just accept
the first version that we recognize. This introduces its own version
negotiation bug; if we add v2 push in the future, a new client
talking to an old server would try to use v2 even though the server may
not have the corresponding v2 push implementation. I'll fix this in the
next version.

In any case, the ordering of the server's allowed versions won't matter;
we'll pick the the first version in the client's list which is also
allowed on the server.

Depends on what you mean by "sensibly" :). In the current case, if the
client prefers v0, it will always end up using v0. After the fixes
described above, it will always use v0 unless the server no longer
supports v0. Is that what you would expect?

Yes, sorry about that. Will fix.

Sorry about that. Will fix in v4. Out of curiousity, do you have a
config.mak snippet that will make these into errors? I played around
with adding combinations of -ansi, -std=c89, and -pedantic to CFLAGS,
but I couldn't get anything that detect the problem without also
breaking on other parts of the build.

Unfortunately, I don't have such an universal CFLAGS.

With gcc-4.8 the default CFLAGS is sufficient:

  $ make V=1 CC=gcc-4.8 protocol.o
  gcc-4.8 -o protocol.o -c -MF ./.depend/protocol.o.d -MQ protocol.o -MMD -MP  -g -O2 -Wall -I. -DHAVE_SYSINFO -DGIT_HOST_CPU="\"x86_64\"" -DHAVE_ALLOCA_H -DUSE_CURL_FOR_IMAP_SEND -DSHA1_DC -DSHA1DC_NO_STANDARD_INCLUDES -DSHA1DC_INIT_SAFE_HASH_DEFAULT=0 -DSHA1DC_CUSTOM_INCLUDE_SHA1_C="\"cache.h\"" -DSHA1DC_CUSTOM_INCLUDE_UBC_CHECK_C="\"git-compat-util.h\""  -DHAVE_PATHS_H -DHAVE_DEV_TTY -DHAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME -DHAVE_CLOCK_MONOTONIC -DHAVE_GETDELIM '-DPROCFS_EXECUTABLE_PATH="/proc/self/exe"'  -DFREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES -DNO_STRLCPY -DSHELL_PATH='"/bin/sh"' -DPAGER_ENV='"LESS=FRX LV=-c"'  protocol.c

I couldn't get this error with any newer GCC or Clang, and using
options like -std=c89 trigger many other errors as well, just like you
mentioned.

OK, then it will still be confusing unless "we downgrade v2 to v0
because ..."gives the reason.

That sounds like a very sensible semantics.

Yes, that sounds like a sensible behaviour.

What I was alludding to was a lot simpler, though.  An advert string
"version=0:version=1" from a client that prefers version 0 won't be
!strcmp("version=0", advert) but seeing many strcmp() in the patch
made me wonder.

I thought we did a weather-balloon to see if this bothers people who
build on minority platforms but

	git grep 'for (int'

is coming up empty.

We have been trying designated initializers with weather-balloon
changes (both arrays and struct fields) and I somehow thought that
we already were trying this out, but apparently that is not the
case.  Also trailing comma in the enum definition was what we
discussed earlier but I do not know if we had weather-balloon for it
or not offhand.  

Perhaps we should write these down in CodingGuidelines.

I thought so as well, and I run the exact same 'git grep' command
before replying to Josh :)

There was a discussion about such a weather-balloon patch [1] (which
happened to use an unsigned loop variable, so our grep wouldn't have
found it anyway), but it wasn't picked up because it required new
options in CFLAGS and there was no standard way to do so [2].

Ah I see. The strcmp()s against "version=0" are special cases for where
it looks like the client does not understand any sort of version
negotiation. If we see multiple versions listed in the advert, then the
rest of the selection logic should do the right thing.

However, I think that it might work to remove the special cases. In the
event that the client is so old that it doesn't understand any form of
version negotiation, it should just ignore the version fields /
environment vars. If you think it's cleaner to remove the special cases,
let me know.

OK, let me try to see if I understand correctly by rephrasing.

If the client does not say anything about which version it prefers
(because it only knows about version 0 without even realizing that
there is a version negotiation exchange), we substitute the lack of
proposed versions with string "version=0", and the strcmp()s I saw
and was puzzled by are all about special casing such a client.  But
we would end up behaving the same way (at least when judged only by
externally visible effects) to a client that is aware of version
negotiation and tells us it prefers version 0 (and nothing else)
with the selection logic anyway.

Did I get it right?  If so, yeah, I think it makes sense to avoid
two codepaths that ends up doing the same thing by removing the
special case.

Yes, that is correct. The next version will remove the special cases
here.
