+Subject: [PATCH] transport: add a protocol-whitelist environment variable
+
+If we are cloning an untrusted remote repository into a
+sandbox, we may also want to fetch remote submodules in
+order to get the complete view as intended by the other
+side. However, that opens us up to attacks where a malicious
+user gets us to clone something they would not otherwise
+have access to (this is not necessarily a problem by itself,
+but we may then act on the cloned contents in a way that
+exposes them to the attacker).
+
+Ideally such a setup would sandbox git entirely away from
+high-value items, but this is not always practical or easy
+to set up (e.g., OS network controls may block multiple
+protocols, and we would want to enable some but not others).
+
+We can help this case by providing a way to restrict
+particular protocols. We use a whitelist in the environment.
+This is more annoying to set up than a blacklist, but
+defaults to safety if the set of protocols git supports
+grows). If no whitelist is specified, we continue to default
+to allowing all protocols (this is an "unsafe" default, but
+since the minority of users will want this sandboxing
+effect, it is the only sensible one).
+
+A note on the tests: ideally these would all be in a single
+test file, but the git-daemon and httpd test infrastructure
+is an all-or-nothing proposition rather than a test-by-test
+prerequisite. By putting them all together, we would be
+unable to test the file-local code on machines without
+apache.

++`GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL`::
++	If set, provide a colon-separated list of protocols which are
++	allowed to be used with fetch/push/clone. This is useful to
++	restrict recursive submodule initialization from an untrusted
++	repository. Any protocol not mentioned will be disallowed (i.e.,
++	this is a whitelist, not a blacklist). If the variable is not
++	set at all, all protocols are enabled.  The protocol names
++	currently used by git are:
++
++	  - `file`: any local file-based path (including `file://` URLs,
++	    or local paths)
++
++	  - `git`: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP
++	    connection (or proxy, if configured)
++
++	  - `ssh`: git over ssh (including `host:path` syntax,
++	    `git+ssh://`, etc).
++
++	  - `rsync`: git over rsync
++
++	  - `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
++	    Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want both,
++	    you should specify both as `http:https`.
++
++	  - any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use
++	    `hg` to allow the `git-remote-hg` helper)
+++
++Note that this controls only git's internal protocol selection.
++If libcurl is used (e.g., by the `http` transport), it may
++redirect to other protocols. There is not currently any way to
++restrict this.
