| 466 | <p>Fetch branches and/or tags (collectively, "refs") from one or more |
| 467 | other repositories, along with the objects necessary to complete their |
| 468 | histories. Remote-tracking branches are updated (see the description |
| 469 | of <refspec> below for ways to control this behavior).</p> |
| 470 | </div> |
| 471 | <div class="paragraph"> |
| 472 | <p>By default, any tag that points into the histories being fetched is |
| 473 | also fetched; the effect is to fetch tags that |
| 474 | point at branches that you are interested in. This default behavior |
| 475 | can be changed by using the --tags or --no-tags options or by |
| 476 | configuring remote.<name>.tagOpt. By using a refspec that fetches tags |
| 477 | explicitly, you can fetch tags that do not point into branches you |
| 478 | are interested in as well.</p> |

| 1592 | <p>The fetch and push protocols are not designed to prevent one side from |
| 1593 | stealing data from the other repository that was not intended to be |
| 1594 | shared. If you have private data that you need to protect from a malicious |
| 1595 | peer, your best option is to store it in another repository. This applies |
| 1596 | to both clients and servers. In particular, namespaces on a server are not |
| 1597 | effective for read access control; you should only grant read access to a |
| 1598 | namespace to clients that you would trust with read access to the entire |

| 1606 | <li> |
| 1607 | <p>The victim sends "have" lines advertising the IDs of objects it has that |
| 1608 | are not explicitly intended to be shared but can be used to optimize the |
| 1609 | transfer if the peer also has them. The attacker chooses an object ID X |
| 1610 | to steal and sends a ref to X, but isn’t required to send the content of |
| 1611 | X because the victim already has it. Now the victim believes that the |
| 1612 | attacker has X, and it sends the content of X back to the attacker |
| 1613 | later. (This attack is most straightforward for a client to perform on a |
| 1614 | server, by creating a ref to X in the namespace the client has access |
| 1615 | to and then fetching it. The most likely way for a server to perform it |
| 1616 | on a client is to "merge" X into a public branch and hope that the user |
| 1617 | does additional work on this branch and pushes it back to the server |
| 1618 | without noticing the merge.)</p> |
| 1619 | </li> |
| 1620 | <li> |
| 1621 | <p>As in #1, the attacker chooses an object ID X to steal. The victim sends |
| 1622 | an object Y that the attacker already has, and the attacker falsely |
| 1623 | claims to have X and not Y, so the victim sends Y as a delta against X. |
