Bug ID: 5753
Summary: Support for inline clone bundles when cloning via ssh
Product: Mercurial
Version: unspecified
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: feature
Priority: wish
Component: Mercurial
Assignee: bugzi...@mercurial-scm.org
Reporter: jo...@netbsd.org
CC: mercurial-devel@mercurial-scm.org
The main NetBSD repository is a secured machine with restricted access. It is
considered the root of the trust hierachy in terms of information flow.
Developers access the machine via ssh only. Replicating such a setup for
Mercurial is desirable, but it can currently not support clone bundles as those
can be only obtained via HTTP(S). Having to provide more services increases the
attack surface and is less desirable.
The easiest approachs seems to be a new argument for 'getbundle', i.e.
'getbundle clonebundle <url>' and a inline:// URL schema for the manifest. The
remote side would verify that <url> can be found in the manifest and then
interprete it as local reference, similar to the ssh schema. This approach
should work for any transport, ssh and https as well.
