    • odb: verify hashes in read_prefix_1 · e0973bc0
      While the function reading an object from the complete OID already
      verifies OIDs, we do not yet do so for reading objects from a partial
      OID. Do so when strict OID verification is enabled.

    • odb: improve error handling in read_prefix_1 · 14109620
      The read_prefix_1 function has several return statements springled
      throughout the code. As we have to free memory upon getting an error,
      the free code has to be repeated at every single retrun -- which it is
      not, so we have a memory leak here.
      
      Refactor the code to use the typical `goto out` pattern, which will free
      data when an error has occurred. While we're at it, we can also improve
      the error message thrown when multiple ambiguous prefixes are found. It
      will now include the colliding prefixes.

    • odb: add option to turn off hash verification · 35079f50
      Verifying hashsums of objects we are reading from the ODB may be costly
      as we have to perform an additional hashsum calculation on the object.
      Especially when reading large objects, the penalty can be as high as
      35%, as can be seen when executing the equivalent of `git cat-file` with
      and without verification enabled. To mitigate for this, we add a global
      option for libgit2 which enables the developer to turn off the
      verification, e.g. when he can be reasonably sure that the objects on
      disk won't be corrupted.

    • odb: verify object hashes · 28a0741f
      The upstream git.git project verifies objects when looking them up from
      disk. This avoids scenarios where objects have somehow become corrupt on
      disk, e.g. due to hardware failures or bit flips. While our mantra is
      usually to follow upstream behavior, we do not do so in this case, as we
      never check hashes of objects we have just read from disk.
      
      To fix this, we create a new error class `GIT_EMISMATCH` which denotes
      that we have looked up an object with a hashsum mismatch. `odb_read_1`
      will then, after having read the object from its backend, hash the
      object and compare the resulting hash to the expected hash. If hashes do
      not match, it will return an error.
      
      This obviously introduces another computation of checksums and could
      potentially impact performance. Note though that we usually perform I/O
      operations directly before doing this computation, and as such the
      actual overhead should be drowned out by I/O. Running our test suite
      seems to confirm this guess. On a Linux system with best-of-five
      timings, we had 21.592s with the check enabled and 21.590s with the
      ckeck disabled. Note though that our test suite mostly contains very
      small blobs only. It is expected that repositories with bigger blobs may
      notice an increased hit by this check.
      
      In addition to a new test, we also had to change the
      odb::backend::nonrefreshing test suite, which now triggers a hashsum
      mismatch when looking up the commit "deadbeef...". This is expected, as
      the fake backend allocated inside of the test will return an empty
      object for the OID "deadbeef...", which will obviously not hash back to
      "deadbeef..." again. We can simply adjust the hash to equal the hash of
      the empty object here to fix this test.

    • tests: object: test looking up corrupted objects · d59dabe5
      We currently have no tests which check whether we fail reading corrupted
      objects. Add one which modifies contents of an object stored on disk and
      then tries to read the object.

    • tests: object: create sandbox · 86c03552
      The object::lookup tests do use the "testrepo.git" repository in a
      read-only way, so we do not set up the repository as a sandbox but
      simply open it. But in a future commit, we will want to test looking up
      objects which are corrupted in some way, which requires us to modify the
      on-disk data. Doing this in a repository without creating the sandbox
      will modify contents of our libgit2 repository, though.
      
      Create the repository in a sandbox to avoid this.

    • tests: odb: make hash of fake backend configurable · e29e8029
      In the odb::backend::nonrefreshing test suite, we set up a fake backend
      so that we are able to determine if backend functions are called
      correctly. During the setup, we also parse an OID which is later on used
      to read out the pseudo-object. While this procedure works right now, it
      will create problems later when we implement hash verification for
      looked up objects. The current OID ("deadbeef") will not match the hash
      of contents we give back to the ODB layer and thus cannot be verified.
      
      Make the hash configurable so that we can simply switch the returned for
      single tests.
