+Subject: Revert "core.hooksPath: add some protection while cloning"
+
+commit f13e8e2ea56ceef593311b3cff1ba7ba1a493682 upstream.
+
+This defense-in-depth was intended to protect the clone operation
+against future escalations where bugs in `git clone` would allow
+attackers to write arbitrary files in the `.git/` directory would allow
+for Remote Code Execution attacks via maliciously-placed hooks.
+
+However, it turns out that the `core.hooksPath` protection has
+unintentional side effects so severe that they do not justify the
+benefit of the protections. For example, it has been reported in
+https://lore.kernel.org/git/FAFA34CB-9732-4A0A-87FB-BDB272E6AEE8@alchemists.io/
+that the following invocation, which is intended to make `git clone`
+safer, is itself broken by that protective measure:
+
+	git clone --config core.hooksPath=/dev/null <url>
+
+Since it turns out that the benefit does not justify the cost, let's revert
+20f3588efc6 (core.hooksPath: add some protection while cloning,
+2024-03-30).

+Subject: tests: verify that `clone -c core.hooksPath=/dev/null` works again
+
+commit a25a15726f4d1bf1c8362f1b3146096d6a87f965 upstream.
+
+As part of the protections added in Git v2.45.1 and friends,
+repository-local `core.hooksPath` settings are no longer allowed, as a
+defense-in-depth mechanism to prevent future Git vulnerabilities to
+raise to critical level if those vulnerabilities inadvertently allow the
+repository-local config to be written.
+
+What the added protection did not anticipate is that such a
+repository-local `core.hooksPath` can not only be used to point to
+maliciously-placed scripts in the current worktree, but also to
+_prevent_ hooks from being called altogether.
+
+We just reverted the `core.hooksPath` protections, based on the Git
+maintainer's recommendation in
+https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq4jaxvm8z.fsf@gitster.g/ to address this
+concern as well as related ones. Let's make sure that we won't regress
+while trying to protect the clone operation further.

+Subject: hook(clone protections): add escape hatch
+
+commit 85811d32aca9f0ba324a04bd8709c315d472efbe upstream.
+
+As defense-in-depth measures, v2.39.4 and friends leading up to v2.45.1
+introduced code that detects when hooks have been installed during a
+`git clone`, which is indicative of a common attack vector with critical
+severity that allows Remote Code Execution.
+
+There are legitimate use cases for such behavior, though, for example
+when those hooks stem from Git's own templates, which system
+administrators are at liberty to modify to enforce, say, commit message
+conventions. The git clone protections specifically add exceptions to
+allow for that.
+
+Another legitimate use case that has been identified too late to be
+handled in these security bug-fix versions is Git LFS: It behaves
+somewhat similar to common attack vectors by writing a few hooks while
+running the `smudge` filter during a regular clone, which means that Git
+has no chance to know that the hooks are benign and e.g. the
+`post-checkout` hook can be safely executed as part of the clone
+operation.
+
+To help Git LFS, and other tools behaving similarly (if there are any),
+let's add a new, multi-valued `safe.hook.sha256` config setting. Like
+the already-existing `safe.*` settings, it is ignored in
+repository-local configs, and it is interpreted as a list of SHA-256
+checksums of hooks' contents that are safe to execute during a clone
+operation. Future Git LFS versions will need to write those entries at
+the same time they install the `smudge`/`clean` filters.

+Subject: hooks(clone protections): special-case current Git LFS hooks
+
+commit c65d0f9ee6894cdf7feeb51639870bfaf826c905 upstream.
+
+A notable regression in v2.45.1 and friends (all the way down to
+v2.39.4) has been that Git LFS-enabled clones error out with a message
+indicating that the `post-checkout` hook has been tampered with while
+cloning, and as a safety measure it is not executed.
+
+A generic fix for benign third-party applications wishing to write hooks
+during clone operations has been implemented in the parent of this
+commit: said applications are expected to add `safe.hook.sha256` values
+to a protected config.
+
+However, the current version of Git LFS, v3.5.1, cannot be adapted
+retroactively; Therefore, let's just hard-code the SHA-256 values for
+this version. That way, Git LFS usage will no longer be broken, and the
+next Git LFS version can be taught to add those `safe.hook.sha256`
+entries.

+Subject: hooks(clone protections): simplify templates hooks validation
+
+commit eff37e9b1dec25a3e1297eb89a36d8e68fe01b40 upstream.
+
+When an active hook is encountered during a clone operation, to protect
+against Remote Code Execution attack vectors, Git checks whether the
+hook was copied over from the templates directory.
+
+When that logic was introduced, there was no other way to check this
+than to add a function to compare files.
+
+In the meantime, we've added code to compute the SHA-256 checksum of a
+given hook and compare that checksum against a list of known-safe ones.
+
+Let's simplify the logic by adding to said list when copying the
+templates' hooks.
+
+We need to be careful to support multi-process operations such as
+recursive submodule clones: In such a scenario, the list of SHA-256
+checksums that is kept in memory is not enough, we also have to pass the
+information down to child processes via `GIT_CONFIG_PARAMETERS`.
+
+Extend the regression test in t5601 to ensure that recursive clones are
+handled as expected.
+
+Note: Technically there is no way that the checksums computed while
+initializing the submodules' gitdirs can be passed to the process that
+performs the checkout: For historical reasons, these operations are
+performed in processes spawned in separate loops from the
+super-project's `git clone` process. But since the templates from which
+the submodules are initialized are the very same as the ones from which
+the super-project is initialized, we can get away with using the list of
+SHA-256 checksums that is computed when initializing the super-project
+and passing that down to the `submodule--helper` processes that perform
+the recursive checkout.

+Subject: Revert "Add a helper function to compare file contents"
+
+commit 851218a8af645b0abd64882d2b88bc984aa762e9 upstream.
+
+Now that during a `git clone`, the hooks' contents are no longer
+compared to the templates' files', the caller for which the
+`do_files_match()` function was introduced is gone, and therefore this
+function can be retired, too.
+
+This reverts commit 584de0b4c23 (Add a helper function to compare file
+contents, 2024-03-30).
