PATCH 1/1 clone/fetch: anonymize URLs in the reflog

From: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

Even if we strongly discourage putting credentials into the URLs passed via the command-line, there _is_ support for that, and users _do_ do that.

Let's scrub them before writing them to the reflog.

Anonymize URLs in the reflog

This came up in an internal audit, but we do not consider this to be a big deal: the reflog is local and not really shared with anybody.

Not introduced by your patch, but I had to read this a few times to make sure we always end up with repo and display_repo set. IMHO it would be easier to read as:

  if (this) {
     repo = ...;
     display_repo = ...;
  } else if (that) {
     repo = ...;
     display_repo = ...;
  } else {
     die(...);
  }

instead of sticking the die() in the middle. Maybe just personal preference, though. :)

For a if/elseif cascade of few-liner blocks each, I do not think it would matter, but if a block were larger, having the die() case at the beginning or at the end would indeed make it easier to spot any anomalies.

PATCH v2 1/1 clone/fetch: anonymize URLs in the reflog

Anonymize URLs in the reflog

This came up in an internal audit, but we do not consider this to be a big deal: the reflog is local and not really shared with anybody.

Changes since v1:

* Changed the if...else if...else cadence to move the die() to the last arm
* Stopped the memory leak of display_repo (allocated by transport_anonymize_url())

The new patch is easier to see because display_repo becomes non NULL only when anonymization was necessary and done. Makes sense.

Will queue. Thanks.
