Re: [PATCH] Fix "unpack-objects --strict"

Martin Koegler [off-list ref] writes:

I'm talking on the server side of a push operation (receive-pack), not
the client side. The patchset should prevent invalid data from
entering the repository, thereby preventing upload-pack (during further
fetch operation) and other git programs (eg. called from gitweb) from
failing/segfaulting.

upload-pack won't feed starting from a random object for a reason, so your
worry is unfounded.

I'd agree gitweb may be a problem.  Ideally it should restrict itself from
anything reachable from the refs of he repository---patches welcome.
