| connect: reject ssh hostname that begins with a dash When commands like "git fetch" talk with ssh://$rest_of_URL/, the code splits $rest_of_URL into components like host, port, etc., and then spawns the underlying "ssh" program by formulating argv[] array that has:
- the path to ssh command taken from GIT_SSH_COMMAND, etc.
- dashed options like '-batch' (for Tortoise), '-p <port>' as needed.
- ssh_host, which is supposed to be the hostname parsed out of $rest_of_URL.
- then the command to be run on the other side, e.g. git upload-pack.
If the ssh_host ends up getting '-<anything>', the argv[] that is used to spawn the command becomes something like:
{ "ssh", "-p", "22", "-<anything>", "command", "to", "run", NULL }
which obviously is bogus, but depending on the actual value of "<anything>", will make "ssh" parse and use it as an option.
Prevent this by forbidding ssh_host that begins with a "-".
