+Subject: [PATCH] http: limit redirection to protocol-whitelist
+
+Previously, libcurl would follow redirection to any protocol
+it was compiled for support with. This is desirable to allow
+redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. However, it would even
+successfully allow redirection from HTTP to SFTP, a protocol
+that git does not otherwise support at all. Furthermore
+git's new protocol-whitelisting could be bypassed by
+following a redirect within the remote helper, as it was
+only enforced at transport selection time.
+
+This patch limits redirects within libcurl to HTTP, HTTPS,
+FTP and FTPS. If there is a protocol-whitelist present, this
+list is limited to those also allowed by the whitelist. As
+redirection happens from within libcurl, it is impossible
+for an HTTP redirect to a protocol implemented within
+another remote helper.
+
+When the curl version git was compiled with is too old to
+support restrictions on protocol redirection, we warn the
+user if GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL restrictions were requested. This
+is a little inaccurate, as even without that variable in the
+environment, we would still restrict SFTP, etc, and we do
+not warn in that case. But anything else means we would
+literally warn every time git accesses an http remote.
+
+This commit includes a test, but it is not as robust as we
+would hope. It redirects an http request to ftp, and checks
+that curl complained about the protocol, which means that we
+are relying on curl's specific error message to know what
+happened. Ideally we would redirect to a working ftp server
+and confirm that we can clone without protocol restrictions,
+and not with them. But we do not have a portable way of
+providing an ftp server, nor any other protocol that curl
+supports (https is the closest, but we would have to deal
+with certificates).
+
+[jk: added test and version warning]
