is_ntfs_dotgit: match other .git files
When we started to catch NTFS short names that clash with .git, we only
looked for GIT~1. This is sufficient because we only ever clone into an
empty directory, so .git is guaranteed to be the first subdirectory or
file in that directory.
However, even with a fresh clone, .gitmodules is *not* necessarily the
first file to be written that would want the NTFS short name GITMOD~1: a
malicious repository can add .gitmodul0000 and friends, which sorts
before `.gitmodules` and is therefore checked out *first*. For that
reason, we have to test not only for ~1 short names, but for others,
too.
It's hard to just adapt the existing checks in is_ntfs_dotgit(): since
Windows 2000 (i.e., in all Windows versions still supported by Git),
NTFS short names are only generated in the <prefix>~<number> form up to
number 4. After that, a *different* prefix is used, calculated from the
long file name using an undocumented, but stable algorithm.
For example, the short name of .gitmodules would be GITMOD~1, but if it
is taken, and all of ~2, ~3 and ~4 are taken, too, the short name
GI7EBA~1 will be used. From there, collisions are handled by
incrementing the number, shortening the prefix as needed (until ~
9999999
is reached, in which case NTFS will not allow the file to be created).
We'd also want to handle .gitignore and .gitattributes, which suffer
from a similar problem, using the fall-back short names GI250A~1 and
GI7D29~1, respectively.
To accommodate for that, we could reimplement the hashing algorithm, but
it is just safer and simpler to provide the known prefixes. This
algorithm has been reverse-engineered and described at
https://usn.pw/blog/gen/2015/06/09/filenames/, which is defunct but
still available via https://web.archive.org/.
These can be recomputed by running the following Perl script:
-- snip --
use warnings;
use strict;
sub compute_short_name_hash ($) {
my $checksum = 0;
foreach (split('', $_[0])) {
$checksum = ($checksum * 0x25 + ord($_)) & 0xffff;
}
$checksum = ($checksum *
314159269) & 0xffffffff;
$checksum = 1 + (~$checksum & 0x7fffffff) if ($checksum & 0x80000000);
$checksum -= (($checksum *
1152921497) >> 60) *
1000000007;
return scalar reverse sprintf("%x", $checksum & 0xffff);
}
print compute_short_name_hash($ARGV[0]);
-- snap --
E.g., running that with the argument ".gitignore" will
result in "250a" (which then becomes "gi250a" in the code).
