Subject: [PATCH v2] Disallow empty section and variable names
Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 21:34:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110130203445.GA9689@fm.suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110127145253.GD6312@fm.suse.cz>

It is possible to break your repository config by creating an invalid key.  The
config parser in turn chokes on it.

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/gittest/.git/
$ git config .foo false
$ git config .foo
fatal: bad config file line 6 in .git/config

This patch makes git-config reject keys which start or end with a dot, adds
tests for these cases and also fixes a typo in t5526-fetch-submodules, which
was exposed by the new check.

Signed-off-by: Libor Pechacek <lpechacek@suse.cz>
---

Added tests for the cases checked, made git_config_parse_key consistently
return -2 when the key is invalid.  Applies on top "Sanity-check config
variable names".
