The genreal ways I see forward from that are:
A) Say that v2 has a security issue and that this is a feature that
works in some circumstances, but given Jeff's explanation here we
should at least improve our "SECURITY" docs to be less handwaivy.
B) Improve security docs, turn uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant=true on by
default, allow people to turn it off.
C) Like B) but deprecate
uploadpack.allow{Tip,Reachable,Any}SHA1InWant=false. This is my
patch upthread
D-Z) ???
I'm not set on C), and yeah it's probably overzelous to just rip the
thing out, but then what should we do?
Hmph. The other overzealous thing you could do is to strenthen A
and "fix" the security issue in v2? Which letter comes before A in
the alphabet? ;-)
