# testsuid

This program is a simple git wrapper intended to be used with suid/guid bits set to "impersonate" another user and let them clone a repository (with their consent, of course).

When cloning the repository without initializing the submodules, everything works as expected. However, it appears git fails when cloning submodules when called from a suid program (the program uses `git clone --recursive`).

How to reproduce:

```
$ git clone https://tildegit.org/southerntofu/testsuid
$ cd testsuid
$ cargo build --release
$ cp target/release/testsuid /tmp/testsuid
$ chmod u+s,g+s /tmp/testsuid
$ mkdir /tmp/dest/
$ /tmp/testsuid "https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/site" /tmp/dest/1
Cloning https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/site to /tmp/dest/1 (recursive: false)
$ # SUCCESS
$ /tmp/testsuid --recursive "https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/site" /tmp/dest/2
Cloning https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/site to /tmp/dest/2 (recursive: true)
$ # SUCCESS
$ # Now let's try from a different user.
$ su guest
$ /tmp/testsuid "https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/site" /tmp/dest/3
Cloning https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/site to /tmp/dest3 (recursive: false)
$ # SUCCESS
$ /tmp/testsuid --recursive "https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/site" /tmp/dest/4
Cloning https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/site to /tmp/dest/4 (recursive: true)
FAILED!
