4+Subject: [PATCH] check for dir/symlink conflicts on checkout/pull
5+ 
6+Our "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands, at present,
7+follow any extant symbolic links when they populate the current working
8+tree with files containing the content of Git LFS objects, even if
9+the symbolic links point to locations outside of the working tree.
10+This vulnerability has been assigned the identifier CVE-2025-26625.
11+ 
12+In previous commits we partially addressed this vulnerability by
13+ensuring that the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands remove
14+any file or symbolic link which already exists at the location where
15+they intend to write the contents of a Git LFS file, and by checking for
16+symbolic links at these locations first in the DecodePointerFromBlob()
17+function of the "lfs" package.
18+ 
19+However, these changes still allow for the possibility that a symbolic
20+link exists in place of a directory in the path between the root of
21+the working tree and the location where the commands intend to create
22+a file. At present, the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands
23+will not detect such links, and so may be induced to write to a location
24+outside of the working tree.
25+ 
26+To address this issue, revise the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull"
27+commands so they check each path component from the root of the working
28+tree to a Git LFS file. If any are missing, a directory is created, and
29+if any already exist but are not directories, the commands report an
30+error and do not try to create the Git LFS file or write to it.
31+ 
32+In our implementation of these checks, we adopt a similar approach to
33+the one used by Git, which also tries to avoid accidentally traversing
34+symbolic links when updating the files in a working tree. For
35+performance and compatibility reasons, though, Git does not try to
36+completely eliminate all TOCTOU (time-of-check/time-of-use) races
37+involving symbolic links.
38+ 
39+Likewise, we do not aim to prevent every possible race which might
40+allow the Git LFS client to unintentionally write through a symbolic
41+link. Instead, we try to limit the chances of this occurring as far as
42+we reasonably can, while avoiding significant performance penalties.
43+ 
44+One difference between our approach and that taken by Git is that
45+when the we check whether a directory exists and find something other
46+than a directory, we do not try to remove it. This design choice
47+retains compatibility with the legacy behaviour of the Git LFS client,
48+which simply invoked the MkdirAll() function of the "os" package in
49+the Go standard library. That function returns an error if any of the
50+directories in the given path do not already exist and cannot be created,
51+and the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands would just report
52+that error rather than attempt to resolve it by removing anything.
53+ 
54+Another difference between the way Git checks for directory path
55+conflicts and the implementation we introduce in this commit is that
56+Git retains the results of its checks in a simple single-entry cache
57+while we repeat our checks for each new Git LFS file we process. We
58+can add caching logic in the future if we find it valuable, but we
59+would require a more complex and thread-safe cache than Git's due to
60+our use of multiple goroutines in the "git lfs pull" command, and initial
61+testing indicates that the performance gains would be relatively limited.
62+ 
63+When the "git checkout" command runs, the checkout_entry_ca() function
64+performs the necessary changes in the working tree in order to be able
65+to write a copy of a given file at its expected location. This function
66+invokes the create_directories() function to ensure that all of the
67+directories between the root of the working tree and the file are present
68+before the file is created. If the create_directories() function detects
69+a conflict in place of any directory, such as a file or symbolic link,
70+it tries to remove the conflicting entry and then create a new directory
71+in its place.
72+ 
73+As noted above, though, Git does not re-check every directory entry in
74+a file's path in all cases, and also does not try to avoid TOCTOU races
75+in the checks it does perform. The create_directories() function relies
76+on the has_dirs_only_path() function to report whether a path consists
77+of only directories, and that function ultimately invokes the
78+lstat_cache_matchlen() function to determine whether Git believes this
79+to be the case or not:
80+ 
81+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.50.1/entry.c#L582
82+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.50.1/entry.c#L41-L42
83+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.50.1/symlinks.c#L257
84+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.50.1/symlinks.c#L276-L278
85+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.50.1/symlinks.c#L199-L200
86+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.50.1/symlinks.c#L63-L193
87+ 
88+The lstat_cache_matchlen() function accepts a path from the root of the
89+repository as its "name" parameter, and for each component of the path
90+for which the function does not have any cached information, it uses
91+the lstat(2) POSIX system call to test whether that path component exists
92+and if it is a directory or not. The final result is then retained in
93+the function's single-entry cache.
94+ 
95+The use of a cache with only a single entry is viable for Git because in
96+almost all cases, it processes files in sorted order. Thus it can make
97+use of the cached lstat(2) information about the directory "abc" from the
98+path "abc/bar.txt" when checking the path of "abc/foo.txt", for instance.
99+ 
100+The use of cache in this function, though, is one of the reasons Git is
101+not immune to TOCTOU races involving symbolic links. If a directory is
102+replaced with a symbolic link after the lstat_cache_matchlen() function
103+has checked the path, the lstat_cache_matchlen() function will assume
104+another file with the same leading path components can be created without
105+re-checking for symbolic links, and Git will traverse the new symbolic
106+link when writing the file, even if it leads to a location outside of
107+the working tree.
108+ 
109+Git also has to be careful to reset the cache whenever it removes any
110+of the directories in the cached path, as may occur when Git processes
111+files that are not in sorted order and their paths conflict with each
112+other due to case-insensitivity or case-folding on the part of the
113+filesystem. This type of situation was described in commit
114+git/git@684dd4c2b414bcf648505e74498a608f28de4592, which added logic to
115+ensure the cache is cleared under these conditions as part of the
116+remediation for the vulnerability identified as CVE-2021-21300.
117+ 
118+Further, Git would also need to consistently use the openat(2) family of
119+POSIX system calls in conjunction with their O_NOFOLLOW flags, or their
120+equivalent on Windows, in order to guarantee that a given path consists
121+solely of directories and no symbolic links. As noted in commit
122+git/git@f4aa8c8bb11dae6e769cd930565173808cbb69c8 in relation to the
123+vulnerability identified as CVE-2024-32004, on Windows this type of
124+implementation would require the use of the relatively expensive
125+NtCreateFile() system call (and its FILE_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT flag):

131+ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winternl/nf-winternl-ntcreatefile
132+ 
133+Beginning with version 1.24.0, Go introduced a Root structure type in
134+the "os" package of the standard library, with a set of methods which
135+explicitly enforces file path boundaries, using the openat(2) family
136+of system calls where they are available, and the NtCreateFile() system
137+call on Windows. Go v1.25.0 expanded the set of methods in the Root
138+type, and in particular added a MkdirAll() method which mirrors
139+the regular MkdirAll() function in the "os" package, but checks that
140+none of the components in a path are symbolic links to locations
141+outside a given initial "root" path. The development of the Root
142+type and its API was tracked in golang/go#67002.
143+ 
144+One minor caveat with the MkdirAll() method of the Root structure type
145+is that it allows symbolic links to exist in a path, so long as they do
146+not resolve to location outside the path that was initially passed to
147+the OpenRoot() function. We would prefer to avoid these types of "local"
148+symbolic links as well when they conflict with a directory we expect
149+to exist, so the Root type's MkdirAll() method would not suffice for
150+our purposes.
151+ 
152+A more important challenge with the Root structure type is that
153+consistent use of its methods would result in a noticeable increase in
154+the execution time of our commands when processing even moderate numbers
155+of Git LFS files. Each of the type's methods, including Lstat(),
156+Mkdir(), OpenFile(), and Remove(), traverses the directories in its
157+path parameter and checks that none are symbolic links to locations
158+outside the path initially passed to the OpenRoot() function. Each
159+method's cost therefore scales with the number of directories in its
160+path parameter; i.e., given "m" method calls and "n" directories in a path,
161+the number of system calls scales as O(m*n). For this reason, the Go
162+documentation states that:
163+ 
164+ "Root operations on filenames containing many directory components can
165+ be much more expensive than the equivalent non-Root operation."
166+ 
167+ https://go.dev/blog/osroot#performance
168+ 
169+We verified this performance penalty in tests of a modified "git lfs
170+checkout" command which checks for symbolic links in each Git LFS file's
171+path within the repository by calling the methods of the Root structure
172+type. We also tested the implementation from this commit, and we report
173+those results in more detail below. In brief, even without a cache like
174+the one in Git's lstat_cache_matchlen() function, the technique we
175+introduce in this commit adds a modest overhead, while the use of the
176+Root structure's methods significantly increased the command's runtime.
177+ 
178+Our preferred technique relies on several enhancements we made in
179+previous commits to the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands.
180+These commands retrieve a list of Git LFS pointer files from the
181+ScanLFSFiles() method of the GitScanner structure type in our "lfs"
182+package, and for each file, invoke the Run() method of the
183+singleCheckout structure type in our "commands" package. The Run()
184+method then determines whether or not to write the contents of the
185+object referenced by the pointer into a file in the working tree at
186+the appropriate path.
187+ 
188+In prior commits we revised the newSingleCheckout() function to verify
189+whether a working tree exists when it initializes a new singleCheckout
190+structure, and if a tree is present, to change the current working
191+directory to the root of the tree. We also adjusted the Run() method
192+so that it returns immediately without taking action if no working
193+tree was found by the newSingleCheckout() function.
194+ 
195+We now introduce a new DirWalker structure type in our "tools" package,
196+with Walk() and WalkAndCreate() methods which check that each component
197+of a given path is a directory, and return an error if a conflict is
198+found. If a directory is missing, the Walk() method will return an
199+error, while the WalkAndCreate() method will try to create the directory.
200+Both methods are simple wrappers around the internal walk() method,
201+whose "create" parameter indicates whether the method should try to
202+create missing directories or not.
203+ 
204+To initialize a DirWalker structure we define a NewDirWalkerForFile()
205+function, which requires three parameters. The first is an initial
206+parent path which should be specified as a path relative to the current
207+working directory, and which is stored in the "parentPath" element of
208+the new DirWalker structure. The second parameter is a file path which
209+should be specified as a path relative to the parent path. If the parent
210+path is empty, the file path is understood to be relative to the current
211+working directory. The third parameter must be a structure with a
212+RepositoryPermissions() method which conforms to the
213+repositoryPermissionFetcher interface type from our "tools" package.
214+ 
215+The NewDirWalkerForFile() function removes the final filename path
216+segment from its second "filePath" parameter in order to populate the
217+new DirWalker structure's "path" element with leading directories in the
218+file's path, if any. If the "filePath" parameter contains a bare
219+filename, because the file resides at the root of the repository, then
220+the "path" element is set to an empty path. Note that we do not use the
221+Dir() function from the "path/filepath" package in the Go standard
222+library to remove the filename from the "filePath" parameter because
223+that function returns a "." path when a path has no leading directory
224+components, and because it replaces the "/" separator with the "\"
225+separator on Windows, which we do not want to do in this context.
226+ 
227+When the DirWalker structure's walk() method is called, it assumes that
228+the path identified by the structure's "parentPath" element exists within
229+the current working directory, and then checks each of the directories
230+in the "path" element until either an error is returned or all the
231+directories have been checked. If a directory does not exist, the
232+walk() method returns an ErrNotExist error unless the "create"
233+parameter is set to "true", in which case the walk() method will try
234+to create the missing directory. If a conflict is found in the place
235+of a directory, such as a pre-existing file or symbolic link with the
236+same name, then the walk() method returns a custom errNotDir error.
237+ 
238+Assuming that the newSingleCheckout() function found an extant working
239+tree and was able to change the current working directory to the root
240+of the tree, the singleCheckout structure's Run() method creates a new
241+DirWalker structure and calls its Walk() method to determine which
242+directories in the given Git LFS pointer file's path already exist,
243+without at first trying to create any new directories. Since the current
244+working directory is the root of the work tree, the Run() method passes
245+an empty path to the NewDirWalkerForFile() function as its "parentPath"
246+parameter, and the pointer file's path as the "filePath" parameter.
247+ 
248+The pointer file paths processed by the Run() method are guaranteed to
249+be those supplied by Git, since they are the paths returned by the
250+ScanLFSFiles() method of the GitScanner structure, which reads the
251+paths from the output of either a "git ls-files" or "git ls-tree"
252+command. As such, we expect these paths to always use forward slash
253+characters as separators, to always be relative paths and not absolute
254+paths, and to never contain empty path components or "." or ".." path
255+components. For safety, the DirWalker structure's walk() method rejects
256+any path which contains any of these path components and returns an
257+error in such a case.
258+ 
259+If the call to the Walk() method returns an error, the Run() method
260+checks whether the error was due to a missing directory or some other
261+issue. If an ErrNotExist error from the "os" package was returned, this
262+indicates that at least one directory in the current Git LFS pointer
263+file's path does not exist, in which case the Run() method skips calling
264+the DecodePointerFromFile() function from our "lfs" package, since there
265+is no value in trying to read a non-existent file's contents to see if
266+it contains a raw Git LFS pointer. If some other type of error was
267+returned, the Run() method logs the error and returns without proceeding
268+further, and if no error was returned, then all the file's ancestor
269+directories were found, so the Run() method does call the
270+DecodePointerFromFile() function in that case.
271+ 
272+The Run() method then proceeds to check the results from the
273+DecodePointerFromFile() function, if it was called at all. This logic
274+remains unchanged, but can take advantage of the fact that an ErrNotExist
275+error from the call to the Walk() method implies that no pointer file
276+exists. When this type of error is returned by either the Walk() method
277+or the DecodePointerFromFile() function, the Run() method then calls the
278+DiffIndexWithPaths() function in our "git" package to check if the user
279+has intentionally removed the file from Git's index, in which case no
280+further action should be taken.
281+ 
282+If an ErrNotExist error was returned by either the Walk() method or the
283+DecodePointerFromFile() function, and the user has not removed the file
284+from Git's index, then the Run() method calls the DirWalker structure's
285+WalkAndCreate() method in order to create any directories in the file's
286+path which are missing. For this call, the internal walk() method of
287+the DirWalker structure continues where the previous invocation left off,
288+based on the values of the internal "parentPath" and "path" elements of
289+the structure.
290+ 
291+The previous invocation of the walk() method by the Walk() method will
292+have set the structure's "parentPath" element to contain the leading
293+directories in the file's path that were found to exist, and set the
294+"path" element to contain just those directories which need to be
295+created. Note that either of these paths may be empty, since there may
296+be no missing directories, or all the directories in the file's path may
297+be missing, or the file may be located in the top-level directory.
298+ 
299+To verify that the DirWalker structure's internal walk() method handles
300+all of these potential conditions, along with various types of directory
301+conflicts such as pre-existing files or symbolic links, we add a
302+TestDirWalkerWalk() Go test function and define a large number of valid
303+and invalid test cases for this function. The test function then
304+exercises the walk() method in all the defined test cases, both with an
305+empty parent path and with a non-empty parent path.
306+ 
307+When the Run() method calls the DirWalker's WalkAndCreate() method, this
308+passes a "true" value to the walk() method for its "create" parameter, so
309+any directories that are missing will be created. This means that when
310+the Run() method then calls the RunToPath() method, and it invokes the
311+SmudgeToFile() method of the GitFilter structure in our "lfs" package,
312+that method no longer needs to try to create any directories. We
313+therefore remove the call to the MkdirAll() function in our "tools"
314+package from the SmudgeToFile() method.
315+ 
316+However, the MkdirAll() function in our "tools" package is designed to
317+enforce any umask settings defined by Git's "core.sharedRepository"
318+configuration option, which is why the SmudgeToFile() method did not
319+simply invoke the MkdirAll() function from the "os" package. Since
320+we want to retain support for this Git configuration option, we add
321+a Mkdir() function to our "tools" package which mirrors the MkdirAll()
322+function, with the only difference being that it wraps the Mkdir()
323+function from the "os" package rather than the MkdirAll() function.
324+We then call the new function in the walk() method instead of calling
325+the Mkdir() function from the "os" package directly.
326+ 
327+There is one use case where we still need to use the MkdirAll()
328+function from our "tools" package, though. When the "git lfs checkout"
329+command is run with its --to option, the RunToPath() method of the
330+singleCheckout structure is invoked directly. The file path specified
331+as the parameter of the --to option is converted to an absolute path
332+and passed to the RunToPath() method so that the contents of the
333+Git LFS object identified by the other command-line parameters are
334+written to a file at the given path.
335+ 
336+Since the Run() method does not execute in this case, the WalkAndCreate()
337+method is not called and therefore will not create any directories that
338+might be missing in the path specified by the --to option, and neither
339+will the SmudgeToFile() method, because it no longer calls the MkdirAll()
340+function from our "tools" package. To ensure that we still support the
341+use of the --to option with an arbitrary file path parameter, we now call
342+the "tools" package's MkdirAll() function in the checkoutConflict()
343+function of the "git lfs checkout" command immediately after we convert
344+the --to option's parameter into an absolute file path.
345+ 
346+In previous commits we expanded the checks in the "checkout: conflicts"
347+test in our t/t-checkout.sh test script so it will validate the use
348+of the "git lfs checkout" command's --to option in a wide range of
349+conditions, including with file path parameters to locations with
350+ancestor directories that do not exist. As a consequence, we can be
351+confident that the test validates that our changes in this commit do
352+not introduce a regression in our support of the --to option of the
353+"git lfs checkout" command.
354+ 
355+On the other hand, we do require additional shell tests to thoroughly
356+validate the effectiveness of our revisions to the methods of the
357+singleCheckout structure. Since we expect the "git lfs checkout" and
358+"git lfs pull" commands to now try to detect when symbolic links exist
359+in place of the directories in the paths to Git LFS files in a work tree,
360+even if the targets of those links are themselves directories, we expand
361+the "checkout: skip directory symlink conflicts" and "pull: skip
362+directory symlink conflicts" tests that we added to our t/t-checkout.sh
363+and t/t-pull.sh test scripts in a prior commit.
364+ 
365+Previously, these two tests verified that the "git lfs checkout" and
366+"git lfs pull" commands would skip attempting to write out the contents of
367+Git LFS objects into files in the work tree if the files' paths conflicted
368+with pre-existing symbolic links, but only when the targets of the links
369+were not directories. The tests now also specifically check the commands'
370+behaviour when the targets of the links are directories, since before
371+our changes in this commit the commands would traverse these links and
372+create or update files and subdirectories within the target directories.
373+Note, though, that we do not check this behaviour under TOCTOU race
374+conditions, because we do not expect the commands to avoid traversing
375+symbolic links in those cases, as described above.
376+ 
377+We also expand the "checkout: skip case-based symlink conflicts" and
378+"pull: skip case-based symlink conflicts" tests we added in a previous
379+commit. These tests now also check that when when the directories in
380+Git LFS file paths conflict with symbolic links as a result of
381+case-insensitivity on the part of a filesystem, the "git lfs checkout"
382+and "git lfs pull" commands detect the conflicts and report errors
383+instead of trying to populate the Git LFS files with their objects'
384+contents.
385+ 
386+In both these two tests and the "checkout: skip directory symlink
387+conflicts" and "pull: skip directory symlink conflicts" tests, we make
388+an additional check to confirm that when symbolic links to directories
389+exist in place of regular directories in the paths to Git LFS files, the
390+Git error message "is beyond a symbolic link" does not appear in the
391+output of the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands. This
392+message would indicate that the Git LFS commands attempted to refresh
393+the Git index using the "git update-index" command for a file whose path
394+contains a symbolic link to a directory in place of a regular directory.
395+As the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands should now detect
396+such symbolic links (so long as there is no TOCTOU race), these Git error
397+messages should not appear in the commands' output.
398+ 
399+Finally, we adjust the "checkout: skip directory file conflicts" and
400+"pull: skip directory file conflicts" tests we added in another prior
401+commit. These tests check that the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull"
402+commands detect when a regular file exists in the place of a directory
403+in a Git LFS file's path. Our changes in this commit do not alter
404+that fundamental behaviour, but they do result in a more consistent
405+error message from the commands when a regular file exists in place
406+of a directory.
407+ 
408+Previously, when a file conflicted with a directory in a Git LFS file's
409+path, the output of the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands
410+differed between Unix and Windows systems due to a difference in the
411+error returned by the Lstat() function call performed in the
412+DecodePointerFromFile() function. On Unix systems, this error
413+encapsulates an ENOTDIR error number, which the IsNotExist() function
414+of the "os" package does not consider equivalent to an ErrNotExist
415+error. On these systems, the Run() method would therefore report the
416+error immediately after calling the DecodePointerFromFile() function
417+and then return without taking further action.
418+ 
419+On Windows systems, however, the same circumstances caused the Lstat()
420+function to return an ErrNotExist error, due to the implementation of
421+the Lstat() function in the Go standard library, which maps the Windows
422+ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND error number to an ErrNotExist error. As a result,
423+the Run() method would proceed to call the RunToPath() method, which
424+invoked the SmudgeToFile() method. When that method called the OpenFile()
425+function from the "os" package to try to create the Git LFS file, though,
426+an error would occur, and this was then the error whose message would be
427+logged by the by the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands.
428+ 
429+Now that the DecodePointerFromFile() function is only called by the Run()
430+method if its invocation of the DirWalker structure's Walk() method does
431+not return an error, the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands
432+will report the same error message on both Unix and Windows systems if
433+the Walk() method encounters a regular file in place of a directory.
434+To account for this change, we update our "checkout: skip directory file
435+conflicts" and "pull: skip directory file conflicts" tests so they expect
436+the same error message on all systems.
437+ 
438+In addition to these changes to our regular Go and shell test suites,
439+we also evaluated the impact of our changes in this commit to the
440+speed of the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands under
441+moderate workloads. Our performance testing focused on the "git lfs
442+checkout" command since we are not concerned with the time required
443+to fetch Git LFS objects from a remote server.
444+ 
445+For our principal test scenario, we created 10,000 small Git LFS files,
446+with each file containing roughly 10 bytes of data only, so that the
447+time required to write out the Git LFS object data of each file was
448+minimal.
449+ 
450+Because the cost of checking for symbolic links in the paths to Git LFS
451+files will scale with the number of files and the number of path
452+components, we chose a distribution of our test files with the intent
453+that it would emulate a relatively normal repository and not a
454+pathological use case. For example, if we placed all the Git LFS files
455+at the root of the repository, we would not exercise our new checks
456+for symbolic links at all. For our principal test repository, we
457+therefore distributed the Git LFS files in groups of 100 into 100
458+subdirectories, with 5 ancestor directories between these each of
459+these subdirectories and the root of the repository.
460+ 
461+In a completely empty working tree, the runtime of the "git lfs checkout"
462+command is heavily dominated by the cost of repeatedly spawning the
463+"git diff-index" command, which we execute once for each file we find
464+to be missing from the work tree. (Improving this behaviour so that
465+the "git diff-index" command could be invoked with multiple file paths
466+would be a valuable enhancement we might want to explore in the future.)
467+ 
468+So as to better evaluate the performance impact of our changes in this
469+commit, we usually populated our working tree with raw Git LFS pointer
470+files, as might occur after running "git clone" with the
471+GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE environment variable set to a value equivalent
472+to "true". This avoids the cost of executing the "git diff-index"
473+command, which can otherwise result in a tenfold increase in the
474+runtime of the "git lfs checkout" command.
475+ 
476+For the majority of our tests, we utilized a Linux system with 16 cores
477+running at 2.10 GHz and a 5.15 kernel version. We also repeated our
478+tests on macOS and Windows systems, with similar results. The times
479+reported below are from the Linux system tests.
480+ 
481+In our primary test scenario, with 10,000 small Git LFS files in groups
482+of 100 with 6 levels of subdirectories for each group, the impact of
483+checking of each directory in the files' paths amounted to a 15% increase
484+in the average runtime of the "git lfs checkout" command compared to the
485+3.7.0 version of the Git LFS client. The v3.7.0 client's average
486+runtime was 3.89s and the average runtime with this commit's changes
487+was 4.46s.
488+ 
489+We also experimented with the inclusion of a simple lock-free single-entry
490+cache in the walk() function, similar to the cache implemented by Git in
491+its lstat_cache_matchlen() function. This reduced the average runtime
492+of the "git lfs checkout" command in the same scenario described above
493+to 4.23s, an 8% increase over the v3.7.0 client's average runtime.
494+ 
495+Our test scenario represented the ideal conditions for this simple
496+cache, however. The "git lfs checkout" command processes files
497+sequentially in the order returned by the "git ls-files" command (or
498+the "git ls-tree" command, if the installed version of Git is older
499+than v2.42.0), and so we could avoid the need for any locks around
500+our cache, or use a more complex multiple-entry cache.
501+ 
502+The "git lfs pull" command, though, invokes the Run() method of the
503+singleCheckout structure from two separate goroutines, one of which
504+receives its list of Git LFS pointer files from the transfer queue as
505+their corresponding objects' data is downloaded. A functional cache
506+implementation would consequently require locks to avoid contention
507+between parallel invocations of the walk() method by separate goroutines,
508+which would somewhat diminish any potential performance gains.
509+ 
510+A single-entry cache might also prove to be ineffective with the
511+"git lfs pull" command, since some files would be processed immediately
512+if their objects were present in the local Git LFS storage directories,
513+while others would be processed as their objects were downloaded, which
514+might occur in a significantly different order than the sort order of
515+the pointers' file paths. Instead of a single-entry cache, we could
516+use a simple map of unbounded size, or an LRU (Least-Recently Used)
517+cache with a bounded number of elements.
518+ 
519+However, if we do choose to add a cache in the future, it should not
520+expose us to the type of vulnerability which the Git project reported
521+in CVE-2021-21300. That issue resulted partly from the use of a
522+single-entry cache and an incorrect assumption that files would always
523+be processed in sorted order, but the key difference between Git and
524+Git LFS in this regard is that Git tries to conform the working tree
525+to have the contents it expects, and Git LFS does not.
526+ 
527+During a "git checkout" command, Git will try to remove directory entries
528+such as files and symbolic links which conflict with the file paths Git
529+intends to create. Thus, when Git encountered files whose paths
530+conflicted on a case-insensitive filesystem, if these files were
531+processed out of the usual sorted order, Git might cache one file
532+path, then remove it from the filesystem but not the cache, and then
533+assume the file path still existed based on the contents of the cache.
534+Git LFS should not be vulnerable to this type of problem because it
535+does not try to remove entries which conflict with the ancestor
536+directories in a Git LFS file's path.
537+ 
538+Overall, though, the performance of the "git lfs checkout" command with
539+the changes from this commit but without any form of caching appears to
540+be acceptable, so we do not implement a cache in the DirWalker structure's
541+methods at this time. We can always revisit this decision in the future,
542+of course.
543+ 
544+As well as testing our changes from this commit (both with and without
545+a simple cache), we also tested an experimental version of the
546+"git lfs checkout" command which used the methods of the Root structure
547+type from the "os" package. As described above, these methods are
548+designed to ensure that they never operate on files outside a given
549+initial "root" file path.
550+ 
551+On our Linux test system, the average runtime of the "git lfs checkout"
552+command, when all filesystem operations were converted to use the
553+methods of the Root type, was 6.57s in our primary test scenario, a 69%
554+increase over the average runtime of the command when using the 3.7.0
555+version of Git LFS client, and a 47% increase over the average runtime
556+of the command when using the changes from this commit. (Those average
557+runtimes were 3.89s and 4.46s, respectively.)
558+ 
559+On a GitHub Actions runner with Windows Server 2025, the average runtime
560+of the "git lfs checkout" command when all its filesystem operations
561+used the Root type's methods was 28.83s, a 63% increase over the average
562+runtime of the command when using the 3.7.0 version of the client, and
563+a 39% increase over the average runtime of the command when using the
564+changes from this commit. (Those average runtimes were 17.70s and 20.70s,
565+respectively.)
566+ 
567+Intriguingly, on a GitHub Actions runner with macOS 15.5 (Sequoia), the
568+average runtime of the "git lfs checkout" command with the changes from
569+this commit was 5.81s, 5% faster than the 6.14s average runtime when
570+using the 3.7.0 version of the Git LFS client. The average runtime of
571+the command when all filesystem operations used the Root type's methods,
572+however, was 11.73s, a 91% increase compared to the runtime of the
573+command with the 3.7.0 version of the client and a 102% increase
574+compared to the runtime of the command with the changes from this commit.
575+ 
576+ | v3.7.0 | DirWalker | os.Root
577+ --------+-----------+-----------+-----------
578+ Linux | 3.89s | 4.46s | 6.57s
579+ macOS | 6.14s | 5.81s | 11.73s
580+ Windows | 17.70s | 20.70s | 28.83s
581+ 
582+As we explained above, these performance impacts are the primary reason
583+why we avoid the use of the Root interface and its methods and prefer to
584+check for symbolic links in a more efficient manner, even if that allows
585+for the possibility that we cannot detect some race conditions.

4+Subject: [PATCH] docs,lfs,t: create new files on checkout and pull
5+ 
6+Our "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands, at present,
7+follow any extant symbolic links when they populate the current working
8+tree with files containing the content of Git LFS objects, even if
9+the symbolic links point to locations outside of the working tree.
10+This vulnerability has been assigned the identifier CVE-2025-26625.
11+ 
12+In a previous commit we partially addressed this vulnerability by
13+adjusting the DecodePointerFromBlob() function in our "lfs" package to
14+check whether an irregular file or other directory entry exists at the
15+location where the commands intend to create or update a file.
16+ 
17+While this change handles cases where a symbolic link already exists
18+the working tree before we try to create or update a file at the same
19+location, it does not entirely prevent TOCTOU (time-of-check/time-of-use)
20+races where a symbolic link might be created immediately after we check
21+for its existence and before we attempt to create or open a file.
22+ 
23+One reason is that the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands
24+use the Create() function from the Go standard library's "os" package
25+to create or open the files they intend to populate with the contents
26+of Git LFS objects. This function follows symbolic links when
27+determining whether it should create a new file or truncate an existing
28+one. If the last segment of the path passed to the function is a
29+symbolic link, the link will be dereferenced, and a new file will be
30+created at the link's target path or, if a file already exists at that
31+target path, then that file will be opened and truncated.
32+ 
33+Further, because the Create() function opens and truncates any existing
34+file it finds, if that file is hard-linked to one or more other
35+paths, then once the file is closed the new content our commands have
36+written into it will be visible through all of those paths, regardless
37+of whether they reside inside or outside the Git working tree.
38+ 
39+Our "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands have exhibited these
40+behaviours since they were first implemented in PR #527. That PR
41+added a PointerSmudgeToFile() function to the "lfs" package, which was
42+later refactored by PR #2687 into the SmudgeToFile() method of the
43+GitFilter structure in the current version of our "lfs" package. The
44+original PointerSmudgeToFile() function made use of the "os" package's
45+Create() function to create a new file or truncate an existing one,
46+and the contemporary SmudgeToFile() method follows suit.
47+ 
48+For performance and compatibility reasons, Git does not try to
49+completely eliminate all TOCTOU races involving symbolic links, and
50+for similar reasons we do not expect to prevent every possible race
51+which might allow the Git LFS client to unintentionally write through
52+a symbolic link. We do, though, intend to limit the chances of this
53+occurring as far as we reasonably can.
54+ 
55+Therefore, to address the problems with symbolic and hard links described
56+above, we revise the SmudgeToFile() method so that it first removes any
57+existing file at the path it is given, and if that succeeds, then attempts
58+to atomically create a new file, reporting an error if that cannot be done
59+because a file or other directory entry already exists at the same path.
60+ 
61+Specifically, we use the OpenFile() function from the "os" package
62+instead of the Create() function, and we pass both the O_CREATE and
63+O_EXCL flags to guarantee that the function either creates a new file
64+or returns an error. Before calling OpenFile() we first call the
65+"os" package's Remove() function and report an error if it fails for
66+any reason other than that there is no file found at the given path.
67+ 
68+This approach mirrors that taken by Git when it updates files in the
69+working tree. In particular, when the "git checkout" command is
70+asked to update a specific pathspec (e.g., with a command such as
71+"git checkout -- file.txt"), the checkout_entry_ca() function first
72+calls the unlink(2) system call, and then the create_file() function
73+invokes the open(2) system call with the O_CREATE and O_EXCL flags:
74+ 
75+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/cb96e1697ad6e54d11fc920c95f82977f8e438f8/entry.c#L552-L578
76+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/cb96e1697ad6e54d11fc920c95f82977f8e438f8/entry.c#L88-L89
77+ 
78+Note that Git is actually more aggressive than the Git LFS client
79+in how it handles conflicting content when checking out specific
80+paths. For instance, if it finds a directory in place of a file it
81+intends to write, its remove_subtree() function will be used to try
82+to recursively remove the directory and all of its contents.
83+ 
84+By constrast, while our SmudgeToFile() method will now remove existing
85+files (whether regular or irregular), symbolic links, and empty
86+directories which conflict with the file it intends to create, the
87+function will will not remove non-empty directories.
88+ 
89+Moreover, the SmudgeToFile() method will only take this action if one
90+of these types of directory entries has been created in the brief
91+time interval since the DecodePointerFromBlob() function was called,
92+since we use that function to determine whether to proceed to call
93+the SmudgeToFile() method.
94+ 
95+The sole caller of the SmudgeToFile() method is the RunToPath()
96+method of the singleCheckout structure in our "commands" package,
97+which is used only by the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull"
98+commands. Except when "git lfs checkout" is called with a --to
99+option, the RunToPath() method is only called from the Run() method
100+of the same singleCheckout structure. That method first invokes
101+the DecodePointerFromBlob() function, and proceeds to call the
102+SmudgeToFile() method only if no regular file was found, or if
103+a regular file was found and its contained a valid Git LFS pointer
104+whose ID matches that of the corresponding object.
105+ 
106+For this reason, we are guaranteed that when the SmudgeToFile() method
107+is called, the path it is passed is either one provided by the user
108+with the --to option of the "git lfs checkout" command, or has just
109+been checked by the DecodePointerFromBlob() function. In either case
110+we can be confident that it is reasonable to delete anything which now
111+exists at that location. Note, too, that prior to the changes in this
112+commit, any regular file or file referenced by a final symbolic link
113+in the path would be truncated and overwritten regardless of its contents
114+by the SmudgeToFile() method, so removing any directory entry (except
115+for non-empty subdirectories) we find and creating a new file is not
116+substantially different in this respect.
117+ 
118+However, there are several key advantages to our new approach. First,
119+we can now be certain we will never dereference a final symbolic link
120+in the given path and write to the link's target. Note, though, that
121+we do still traverse symbolic links when they are found in place of
122+directories in path segments other than the final segment. We will
123+partially address this concern in a subsequent commit, with the same
124+caveats that apply to Git's handling of symbolic links in non-terminal
125+path segments.
126+ 
127+Second, by always creating a new file we can be certain the content
128+we write will not be visible through hard links to an existing file.
129+We therefore add a pair of new tests to our t/t-checkout.sh and
130+t/t-pull.sh test suite which exercise the "git lfs checkout" and
131+"git lfs pull" commands and confirm that they replace existing files
132+with multiple hard links and effectively break those links. Both of
133+our new tests use the assert_clean_status() test helper function to
134+confirm that the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands continue
135+to update the Git index entries for any Git LFS files they recreate in
136+the working tree.
137+ 
138+We also expand the checks performed by the "checkout: conflicts" test
139+in our t/t-checkout.sh test script to check that symbolic links as well
140+as hard links are broken by our changes to the SmudgeToFile() method.
141+We are able to use this test for this purpose because it runs the
142+"git lfs checkout" command with the --to option, which means the
143+Run() method of the singleCheckout structure is not used and the
144+RunToPath() method is called directly. In turn, that implies that
145+the DecodePointerFromBlob() function is never invoked, so the command
146+does not simply detect the symbolic link in that function and therefore
147+skip making a call to the SmudgeToFile() method, as occurs in our
148+"checkout: skip file symlink conflicts" and "pull: skip file symlink
149+conflicts" tests. Instead, the RunToPath() method calls the
150+SmudgeToFile() method, which then removes the symbolic link and
151+creates a new file in its place. Hence we can use this test to confirm
152+that our changes are effective in breaking symbolic links as well as
153+hard links.
154+ 
155+And third, our new approach means we can eliminate two calls to the
156+"os" package's Chmod() function, which were added to the SmudgeToFile()
157+method in commit 686bda3722f12293f345240532f666b6a0961bb2 of PR #3120
158+in order to handle pointer files to which our "lockable" Git attribute
159+applies, but which the user has not yet locked, and so the pointer files
160+have read-only permissions we want to retain while also replacing the
161+file's contents with the corresponding Git LFS object data.
162+ 
163+We do not need to call the Chmod() function before invoking the
164+Remove() function, because that function should be able to delete any
165+existing file, even one with read-only permissions, so long as the
166+parent directory permits changes to its list of entries.
167+ 
168+Note that our previous implementation might succeed even if the
169+parent directory did not allow changes to its list of entries, and
170+our new implementation will not. This does imply a partial change
171+in the behaviour of the Git LFS client when directories in the
172+working tree are themselves marked read-only. However, neither our
173+old or new implementations could succeed in creating new files within
174+such directories. Moreover, we expect Git working trees to normally
175+have read-write directory permissions, since many regular Git commands
176+will not function otherwise. We therefore consider the altered
177+behaviour of the Git LFS client to be an acceptable change given
178+that it will remediate several security concerns.
179+ 
180+We also do not need to call the Chmod() function at the end of the
181+SmudgeToFile() method, because we instead pass the file permissions
182+we want directly to the OpenFile() function.
183+ 
184+In the case where an existing file is found, prior to our deletion of
185+that file, we read its permissions with the Lstat() function of the
186+"os" package, and then pass those permissions to the OpenFile()
187+function. If a symbolic link or some other type of directory entry
188+is found, though, we ignore its permissions and use a default setting
189+of 0666 instead. (On Unix systems, the current "umask" setting will
190+then be applied to whatever permissions we pass to the OpenFile()
191+function.)
192+ 
193+While the use of a default permissions mode of 0666 matches that used
194+by the Create() function of the "os" package, and so aligns with the
195+legacy behaviour of the Git LFS client, this is not actually the ideal
196+implementation. Rather, we should respect the mode defined for the
197+file in Git, which may have the executable mode set. For now, though,
198+we leave this as improvement for a future PR, and just include a
199+comment to remind us of this oversight in our implementation.
200+ 
201+Finally, because the "git lfs checkout" command will now attempt to
202+remove and replace the file or other directory entry it finds at the
203+path supplied with the --to option, we update our git-lfs-checkout(1)
204+manual page to reflect this new behaviour.

4+Subject: [PATCH] fix bare repo pull/checkout path handling bug
5+ 
6+Our "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands may both, at present,
7+be executed in a bare repository, although the former has no utility in
8+a bare repository, and the latter often performs no actions, but can be
9+used to fetch Git LFS objects in a bare repository.
10+ 
11+The "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands are the only commands
12+which make use of the methods of the singleCheckout structure in our
13+"commands" package, and in a subsequent commit we will update these methods
14+so they change the current working directory to the root of the current
15+working tree, so long as one exists.
16+ 
17+Before we make these revisions, though, we first need to guarantee that
18+the singleCheckout structure's methods correctly handle the case where no
19+current work tree is defined, such as in a bare repository when the
20+GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable has not been set.
21+ 
22+When no working tree is defined, the "git lfs pull" command should perform
23+no action other than fetching objects, since there is no work tree into
24+which the command should write any Git LFS file content.
25+ 
26+For the same reason, the "git lfs checkout" should have no effect when
27+no work tree is defined, since the command's only purpose is to check
28+out Git LFS file content into a working tree.
29+ 
30+Unfortunately, both the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands
31+may, under unusual circumstances, try to check out Git LFS files by
32+writing their object data into files either inside or outside a
33+bare repository.
34+ 
35+In bare repositories, when the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull"
36+commands try to determine whether to check out a Git LFS file into the
37+(non-existent) working tree, they incorrectly treat the path to a file
38+from the root of the repository as if it were instead an absolute path
39+starting from the root of the current filesystem. For instance, given
40+the path "foo/bar.bin" to a Git LFS file in a repository, the commands
41+will instead treat this path as if it were the path "/foo/bar.bin".
42+ 
43+Normally, no file will exist at this location, so the "git lfs checkout"
44+and "git lfs pull" commands then check the Git index to try to determine
45+whether the user has staged the file for deletion. Since bare
46+repositories typically have no index, the commands will assume the user
47+has intentionally removed the file, and skip any further processing for
48+the file.
49+ 
50+If the user has added an index entry for the file, though, the commands
51+will assume the file should be re-created in the (non-existent) working
52+tree with the content of the object referenced by the Git LFS pointer
53+stored in Git's version of the file. Taking the file's path from the
54+root of the repository as if it was an absolute path, the commands will
55+try to create any missing directories in that path, and then try to
56+either create a new file or truncate an existing one before writing
57+the Git LFS object content into the file.
58+ 
59+An alternative sequence of events which leads to the same result may
60+occur in the extremely unlikely case that a file already exists at
61+the location specified by the incorrectly-determined absolute path,
62+and that the file contains a Git LFS pointer with the same object ID
63+as that of the given file in the repository. In other words, using
64+the same example file paths as above, this means a "/foo/bar.bin" file
65+would have to already exist and contain the same raw Git LFS pointer
66+data as the "foo/bar.bin" file in the Git repository. Should this
67+happen, the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands would assume
68+the file should be overwritten with the contents of the corresponding
69+Git LFS object.
70+ 
71+Of course, even if the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands
72+try to create or overwrite a file at the path they are incorrectly
73+treating as an absolute path, the current user may not have sufficient
74+permissions to permit the necessary filesystem operations to complete.
75+ 
76+Regardless, the Git LFS client should not try to read or write files
77+outside of the current repository unless specifically requested to do
78+so with an argument such as the --to option of the "git lfs checkout"
79+command.
80+ 
81+In conjunction with our remediation of the vulnerability assigned the
82+identifier CVE-2025-26625, we therefore revise the "git lfs checkout"
83+and "git lfs pull" commands now to ensure they will never treat paths
84+relative to the root of the current repository as if they were absolute
85+filesystem paths.
86+ 
87+We also adjust the "git lfs checkout" command so that it generates the
88+same error message as commands like "git lfs status" when no working
89+tree is defined, and exits immediately afterwards. This change will
90+make clear to our users why the "git lfs checkout" command has no effect
91+in a bare repository, while also simplifying our test requirements as we
92+do not have to verify the command's behaviour in a bare repository beyond
93+checking that it exits with the appropriate warning message.
94+ 
95+The specific problem addressed in this commit is the result of the
96+joining an empty path, which signals the lack of a current working
97+tree, to a file's path from the root of the repository, and adding
98+a file separator character between the two strings. This occurs
99+within the Convert() method of the repoToCurrentPathConverter structure
100+type from our "lfs" package.
101+ 
102+In a subsequent commit we will be able to remove the
103+repoToCurrentPathConverter structure and its methods entirely, when we
104+revise the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands to change
105+the current working directory to the root of the current working tree.
106+ 
107+In this commit, however, we simply alter the commands so that they
108+never call the structure's Convert() method if no working tree exists.
109+ 
110+First, we add a "hasWorkTree" element to the singleCheckout structure
111+type in our "commands" package, and when we initialize a new structure
112+in the newSingleCheckout() function, we set the "hasWorkTree" element's
113+value to "true" only if the LocalWorkingDir() method of the Configuration
114+structure type from our "config" package returns a non-empty path.
115+ 
116+The LocalWorkingDir() method returns the absolute path to the root of
117+the current working tree, or an empty path if no working tree is defined,
118+as determined by the GitAndRootDirs() function in our "git" package.
119+The GitAndRootDirs() function runs the "git rev-parse" command with the
120+--show-toplevel option, and then interprets that command's output and
121+exit code so that if no working tree is defined, an empty path is
122+returned instead of a path to the work tree's root directory.
123+ 
124+Second, we update the Run() method of the singleCheckout structure
125+so that it returns immediately unless the "hasWorkTree" element is
126+set to a "true" value, meaning a work tree exists and it is safe to
127+create and write files within that directory tree.
128+ 
129+To verify these changes work as we expect, we introduce a new "pull: bare
130+repository" test to our t/t-pull.sh test script, and in this test we
131+specifically add a Git LFS pointer file to the test repository at a path
132+that, if treated as an absolute path instead of a path from the root of
133+the repository, could be created by the current test process. After the
134+test clones the repository, it adds this file's path to the index, runs
135+the "git lfs pull" command, and then checks that no file is created either
136+inside the bare repository or, most importantly, outside the repository.
137+ 
138+(The test also ensures that a Git LFS filter attribute is defined in
139+the "$GIT_DIR/info/attributes" file, which guarantees that regardless
140+of which Git version is installed, the "git lfs pull" command will find
141+our new Git LFS pointer file in the repository's contents and process it.
142+We describe the issues pertaining to the need to use a local Git
143+attributes file instead of a ".gitattributes" file further below.)
144+ 
145+Without our changes to the singleCheckout structure and its methods
146+in this commit, the revised "pull: bare repository" test will fail, so
147+we can be confident that it validates that our remediation is effective.
148+ 
149+As for the "git lfs checkout" command, we alter its main checkoutCommand()
150+function so that after calling the setupRepository() function, the
151+checkoutCommand() function checks whether a path to the current working
152+tree has been found, and if not, outputs a warning message and stops
153+execution of the command. This new check is modelled on that performed
154+by the requireWorkingCopy() function, but causes the command to return a
155+zero (i.e., successful) exit code rather than a non-zero one.
156+ 
157+Our new check relies on the functions invoked by the setupRepository()
158+function to have already called the GitAndRootDirs() function in our
159+"git" package. That function runs the "git rev-parse" command with the
160+--show-toplevel option, and then interprets the command's output and exit
161+code so that if no current work tree is present, an empty path will be
162+returned by the LocalWorkingDir() method of our "config" package's
163+Configuration structure instead of a path to the work tree's root
164+directory.
165+ 
166+It would be more straightforward for us to revise the checkoutCommand()
167+function to simply call the setupWorkingCopy() function rather than the
168+setupRepository() function, because the setupWorkingCopy() function calls
169+the requireWorkingCopy() function and so would enforce the presence of
170+a working tree in the same manner as we employ in other commands such as
171+the "git lfs status" and "git lfs track" commands.
172+ 
173+However, this implementation would result in a backwards-incompatible
174+change to the behaviour the "git lfs checkout" command when it is run in a
175+bare repository, which could result in the unexpected failure of automated
176+CI jobs, for instance. Although the use of the "git lfs checkout" command
177+in a bare repository has no purpose, we defer the simpler implementation
178+to a future release, and for now ensure that the command still returns
179+a zero exit code when run in a bare repository.
180+ 
181+We do, though, update our git-lfs-checkout(1) manual page to clarify that
182+the command requires a working tree, and that in the future the command
183+may exit with an error when run in a bare repository. We also add a new
184+"checkout: bare repository" test to our t/t-checkout.sh test script, which
185+just verifies that the command generates the expected error message and
186+returns a zero exit code when it is run in a bare repository.
187+ 
188+Both the "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands currently exhibit
189+the erroneous behaviour addressed by this commit because the singleCheckout
190+structure's Run() method relies on the Convert() method of the
191+repoToCurrentPathConverter structure type to rewrite file paths
192+relative to the root of the repository into paths relative to the
193+current working directory, and this method returns invalid paths when
194+no working tree is defined, as is the case in a bare repository.
195+ 
196+The Run() method is executed, either directly or indirectly, for
197+each Git LFS pointer file path found by the ScanLFSFiles() method of
198+the GitScanner structure in our "lfs" package. This method retrieves
199+a list of files from Git, and for each one that corresponds to a Git
200+LFS pointer, the method invokes an anonymous function which in turn
201+causes the Run() method to be performed.
202+ 
203+In the case of the "git lfs pull" command, if a local copy of the object
204+associated with a Git LFS pointer is found, the Run() method is invoked
205+directly within the anonymous function, and otherwise it is invoked by
206+a goroutine for each object whose data is successfully retrieved from
207+the Git LFS remote by the transfer queue.
208+ 
209+In the case of the "git lfs checkout" command, the anonymous function
210+called by the ScanLFSFiles() method appends each Git LFS pointer to a
211+slice, and then the Run() method is invoked for each pointer in the
212+slice after the scan through the list of files is complete.
213+ 
214+To retrieve a list of files from Git, the runScanLFSFiles() function,
215+which is called by the ScanLFSFiles() method, uses one of two Git
216+commands. If the installed version of Git is 2.42.0 or higher, the
217+"git ls-files" command is executed, and otherwise the "git ls-tree"
218+command is used. This difference accounts for one of the reasons
219+why the "git lfs pull" command, in particular, may perform no action
220+when run within a bare repository.
221+ 
222+Specifically, as noted in issue #6004, the "git ls-files" command lists
223+the files in the Git index, while the "git ls-tree" command lists the
224+files in the Git tree associated with a given reference, which in the
225+case of our "git lfs checkout" and "git lfs pull" commands is always
226+the current "HEAD" symbolic reference.
227+ 
228+If the installed version of Git is older than v2.42.0, when our commands
229+run the "git ls-tree" command they will receive a list of files from
230+the Git tree associated with the "HEAD" reference, and will process
231+any Git LFS pointers found in that list. (Note that pointer files
232+will be processed even if they no longer match any Git LFS filter
233+attributes; for instance, if there are no ".gitattributes" files in
234+the index or in the Git tree associated with the "HEAD" reference,
235+and no local Git attributes files.)
236+ 
237+If the installed version of Git is at least v2.42.0, our commands
238+run the "git ls-files" command instead of the "git ls-tree" command.
239+For two separate reasons, in a bare repository the "git ls-files"
240+command will often return an empty list, so our "git lfs checkout"
241+and "git lfs pull" commands will take no further action.
242+ 
243+The more obvious reason is that by default, Git creates bare
244+repositories without an index, so unless the user has explicitly
245+added entries to the index for Git LFS pointer files, no results
246+will be returned by the "git ls-files" command.
247+ 
248+The less obvious reason is due to the "attr:filter=lfs" pathspec
249+our commands pass to the "git ls-files" command, which causes the
250+command to only return paths for files which match a Git LFS filter
251+attribute definition. However, in a bare repository Git's internal
252+read_attr() function by default ignores all ".gitattributes" files
253+found in either the index or the tree associated with the "HEAD"
254+reference:
255+ 
256+ https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.50.1/attr.c#L851-L867
257+ 
258+Since there is no working tree in a bare repository, this means all
259+".gitattributes" files are ignored by default, and because users
260+typically define Git LFS attributes in those files, the "git ls-files"
261+command will not match any files even if entries for Git LFS pointer
262+files have been added to the index. Users would have to specifically
263+set the GIT_ATTR_SOURCE environment variable to a reference like "HEAD"
264+or add Git LFS filter attributes to a local Git attributes file such
265+as the "$GIT_DIR/info/attributes" file in order for the "git ls-files"
266+command to match pointer files in the index to the "attr:filter=lfs"
267+pathspec and return a non-empty list.
268+ 
269+Regardless of the source, though, if Git LFS pointers are identified from
270+the list of files returned by Git, the "git lfs pull" command will fetch
271+the objects referenced by those pointers unless the objects already exist
272+in the local storage directories under "lfs/objects". (Note that in a
273+bare repository, the usual leading ".git" directory is not necessary.)
274+ 
275+As objects are fetched by the transfer queue, the separate goroutine
276+started by the "git lfs pull" command passes their pointer data to the
277+Run() method of the singleCheckout structure, one pointer at a time.
278+ 
279+In a "git lfs checkout" command, by contrast, no objects are fetched,
280+and the Run() method is instead invoked directly by the command's main
281+function for each Git LFS pointer file path collected during the
282+execution of the ScanLFSFiles() method.
283+ 
284+As described above, the Run() method begins by converting the file path
285+of the Git LFS pointer provided in its "p" parameter into a file path
286+relative to the current working directory using the Convert() method of
287+the repoToCurrentPathConverter structure type.
288+ 
289+We initialize a structure of that type in the newSingleCheckout()
290+function by calling the NewRepoToCurrentPathConverter() function.
291+That function uses an internal function named pathConverterArgs() to set
292+the new structure's "repoDir" element to the file path returned by the
293+LocalWorkingDir() method of the Configuration structure type, which as
294+mentioned above will be an empty path if no current work tree is defined.
295+ 
296+When the repoToCurrentPathConverter structure type's Convert() method
297+is called, it first joins the structure's "repoDir" element to the
298+file path provided in the method's "p" parameter using a local wrapper
299+function around the Join() function from the Go standard library's
300+"strings" package, rather than the Join() function from the
301+"path/filepath" package. (This change was made in commit
302+fd69029c76e3898fc7c81ac2e8705174c4ebf2b5 of PR #2875, presumably to
303+make more efficient the handling of file paths which we expect to
304+always be defined.)
305+ 
306+In a bare repository, however, the "repoDir" element contains an empty
307+path, so the result of joining it with a file path relative to the root
308+of the repository using the Join() function from the "strings" package
309+is the same file path but with a leading "/" character prepended to it,
310+in effect creating an invalid absolute path from the root of the
311+filesystem. Note that if the Join() function from the "path/filepath"
312+package was used instead, it ignores empty parameters, so the file path
313+would be returned unchanged.
314+ 
315+The Convert() method then passes this invalid absolute path to the
316+Rel() function of the "path/filepath" package of the Go standard library,
317+along with the absolute path to the current working directory. We expect
318+this call to return a relative path from the current working directory
319+to the location within the current Git work tree where a file should
320+be created or updated with the contents of a Git LFS object.
321+ 
322+In a bare repository, though, what is returned by the Convert() method
323+to the Run() method is a relative path from the current working directory
324+to a location constructed by treating a Git LFS pointer's path within
325+the repository as if it was a path descending from the root of the
326+current filesystem. For instance, given the path "foo/bar" of a
327+Git LFS pointer within the repository, and current working directory
328+of "/path/to/bare/repo", the Convert() method would return the path
329+"../../../../foo/bar".
330+ 
331+After this path is returned to the Run() method, it is passed to the
332+DecodePointerFromFile() function in our "lfs" package, which checks
333+whether a file exists at the given location, and if so, reads it and
334+checks whether it contains a valid Git LFS pointer.
335+ 
336+In the large majority of cases, of course, files will not exist in
337+the locations identifed by the invalid paths that the Convert() method
338+generates when the "git lfs checkout" or "git lfs pull" commands are
339+executed in a bare repository. Hence the DecodePointerFromFile()
340+function will return an error which the IsNotExist() function of the
341+"os" package considers equivalent to an ErrNotExist error. The Run()
342+method will then execute a "git diff-index" command to determine whether
343+the user has intentionally removed the file from the Git index, and
344+will pass the original file path (the one relative to the root of the
345+repository) to that command.
346+ 
347+If the installed version of Git is older than v2.42.0, and the bare
348+repository has no index, as is normally the case in such repositories,
349+the "git diff-index" command's output will indicate that the file does
350+not exist in the index and so the Run() method will return without
351+taking further action.
352+ 
353+On the other hand, if the installed version of Git is 2.42.0 or higher,
354+then the index must include an entry for the original file path (the
355+one relative to the root of the repository), since otherwise the
356+"git ls-files" command would not have listed the file at all and the
357+Run() method would never have been called. Thus the "git diff-index"
358+command will also list the file as present in the index, and so the
359+Run() method will proceed on the assumption that the file is just
360+missing in the (non-existent) working tree and should be created, even
361+though there is no actual work tree.
362+ 
363+Even if a version of Git older than 2.42.0 is installed, though,
364+the user may have created an index entry for the file, in which case
365+the Run() method will likewise proceed because the "git diff-index"
366+command's output will indicate that the file is present in the index.
367+ 
368+It is also possible, although extremely unlikely, that the
369+DecodePointerFromFile() function finds a file at the incorrectly-
370+generated path it was given, and is able to open it and parse it as a
371+valid Git LFS pointer. The Run() method will then check to see if the
372+pointer's ID matches that of the pointer under consideration. If it
373+does not, the method will return without taking action, but if it does,
374+it will proceed on the assumption that the pointer file should be
375+overwritten with the contents of the associated object file.
376+ 
377+In summary, in a bare repository the singleCheckout structure's Run()
378+method will only proceed under one of two conditions: either a Git index
379+entry exists for the file path under consideration, which is unlikely
380+to be the case in a bare repository since the index is typically empty,
381+or a Git LFS pointer file with the expected object ID happens to exist
382+at the absolute path derived by prepending a file separator to the
383+file's path within the repository, which is even more unlikely.
384+ 
385+Should one of these circumstances occur, though, the Run() method
386+will invoke the RunToPath() method of the singleCheckout structure,
387+which will in turn call the SmudgeToFile() method of the GitFilter
388+structure in our "lfs" package. That method will attempt to create
389+or truncate a file at the incorrect path, and then write the contents
390+of a Git LFS object into the file.
391+ 
392+With the changes in this commit, however, this incorrect behaviour
393+should no longer occur under any circumstances.
