CVE-2016-10128 (2017-03-24)

Buffer overflow in the git_pkt_parse_line function in transports/smart_pkt.c in the Git Smart Protocol support in libgit2 before 0.24.6 and 0.25.x before 0.25.1 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted non-flush packet.

CVE-2016-10129 (2017-03-24)

The Git Smart Protocol support in libgit2 before 0.24.6 and 0.25.x before 0.25.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via an empty packet line.

CVE-2016-10130 (2017-03-24)

The http_connect function in transports/http.c in libgit2 before 0.24.6 and 0.25.x before 0.25.1 might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers by leveraging clobbering of the error variable.

NAME

Git::Raw::Branch - Git branch class

VERSION

version 0.74

SYNOPSIS

use Git::Raw;

# open the Git repository at $path
my $repo = Git::Raw::Repository -> open($path);

# create a new branch named 'some_branch'
$repo -> branch('some_branch', $repo -> head -> target);

DESCRIPTION

Helper class for branch manipulation. Note that a Git branch is nothing more than a Git::Raw::Reference, so this class inherits all methods from it.

WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog).

METHODS

create( $repo, $name, $target )

Create a new branch given a name and a target object (either a Git::Raw::Commit or a Git::Raw::Tag).

lookup( $repo, $name, $is_local )

Retrieve the branch corresponding to the given branch name.

move( $name, $force )

Rename the branch to $name. Note that in order to get the updated branch object, an additional Git::Raw::Branch->lookup() is needed.

upstream( [$upstream] )

Retrieve or set the reference supporting the remote tracking branch, given the local branch. If there is no corresponding supporting reference, this function will return undef. $upstream may either be a Git::Raw::Reference, a string containing the upstream reference name or undef. If $upstream is set to undef, the remote tracking branch association is removed.

upstream_name( )

Return the name of the reference supporting the remote tracking branch, given the the local branch. If there is no associated remote tracking branch, this function will return undef.

remote_name( )

Return the name of remote that the remote tracking branch belongs to, given the local branch. If there is no associated remote tracking branch, this function will return undef.

is_head( )

Check if the current local branch is pointed at by HEAD.
