GUI's problems with intent-to-add files.
This patch will likely be improved substantially before it is merged
into Git GUI's main branch, but we want to have _something_ resembling a

Every once in a while, whitespace errors are introduced in Git for
Windows' rebases to newer Git versions, simply by virtue of integrating
upstream commits that do not follow upstream Git's own whitespace rule.
In Git v2.50.0-rc0, for example, 03f2915541 (xdiff: disable
cleanup_records heuristic with --minimal, 2025-04-29) introduced a
trailing space.
Arguably, non-actionable alerts are worse than no alerts at all, so
let's suppress those alerts that we cannot do anything about, anyway.

The reftable library goes out of its way to use its own set of allocator
functions that can be configured using `reftable_set_alloc()`. However,
Git does not configure this.
That is not typically a problem, except when Git uses a custom allocator
via some definitions in `git-compat-util.h`, as is the case in Git for
Windows (which switched away from the long-unmaintained nedmalloc to
mimalloc).
Then, it is quite possible that Git assigns a `strbuf` (allocated via
the custom allocator) to, say, the `refname` field of a
`reftable_log_record` in `write_transaction_table()`, and later on asks
the reftable library function `reftable_log_record_release()` to release
it, but that function was compiled without using `git-compat-util.h` and
hence calls regular `free()` (i.e. _not_ the custom allocator's own
function).
This has been a problem for a long time and it was a matter of some sort
of "luck" that 1) reftables are not commonly used on Windows, and 2)
mimalloc can often ignore gracefully when it is asked to release memory
that it has not allocated.
However, a recent update to `seen` brought this problem to the
forefront, letting t1460 fail in Git for Windows, with symptoms much in
the same way as the problem I had to address in d02c37c3e6
(t-reftable-basics: allow for `malloc` to be `#define`d, 2025-01-08)
where exit code 127 was also produced in lieu of
`STATUS_HEAP_CORRUPTION` (C0000374) because exit codes are only 7 bits
wide.
It was not possible to figure out what change in particular caused these
new failures within a reasonable time frame, as there are too many
changes in `seen` that conflict with Git for Windows' patches, I had to
stop the investigation after spending four hours on it fruitlessly.
To verify that this patch fixes the issue, I avoided using mimalloc and
temporarily patched in a "custom allocator" that would more reliably
point out problems, like this:

I briefly considered contributing this "custom allocator" patch, too,
but it is unwieldy (for example, it would not work at all when compiling
with mimalloc support) and it would only waste space (or even time, if a
compile flag was introduced and exercised as part of the CI builds).
Given that it is highly unlikely that Git will lose the new
`reftable_set_alloc()` call by mistake, I rejected that idea as simply
too wasteful.

While this command is definitely something we _want_, chances are that

We still want to be able to experiment with this before that, to focus
on what we need out of this command: To assist with diagnosing issues
with large repositories, as well as to help monitoring the growth and
the associated painpoints of such repositories.
To that end, we are about to integrate this command into
`microsoft/git`, to get the tool into the hands of users who need it
most, with the idea to iterate in close collaboration between these
users and the developers familar with Git's internals.
However, we will definitely want to avoid letting anybody have the

Since we are already walking our reachable objects using the path-walk API,
let's now collect lists of the paths that contribute most to different
metrics. Specifically, we care about
* Number of versions.
* Total size on disk.
* Total inflated size (no delta or zlib compression).
This information can be critical to discovering which parts of the
repository are causing the most growth, especially on-disk size. Different
packing strategies might help compress data more efficiently, but the toal
inflated size is a representation of the raw size of all snapshots of those
paths. Even when stored efficiently on disk, that size represents how much
information must be processed to complete a command such as 'git blame'.
The exact disk size seems to be not quite robust enough for testing, as
could be seen by the `linux-musl-meson` job consistently failing, possibly
because of zlib-ng deflates differently: t8100.4(git survey
(default)) was failing with a symptom like this:
TOTAL OBJECT SIZES BY TYPE
===============================================
Object Type | Count | Disk Size | Inflated Size
------------+-------+-----------+--------------
- Commits | 10 | 1523 | 2153
+ Commits | 10 | 1528 | 2153
Trees | 10 | 495 | 1706
Blobs | 10 | 191 | 101
- Tags | 4 | 510 | 528
+ Tags | 4 | 547 | 528
This means: the disk size is unlikely something we can verify robustly.
Since zlib-ng seems to increase the disk size of the tags from 528 to
547, we cannot even assume that the disk size is always smaller than the
inflated size. We will most likely want to either skip verifying the
disk size altogether, or go for some kind of fuzzy matching, say, by
replacing `s/ 1[45][0-9][0-9] / ~1.5k /` and `s/ [45][0-9][0-9] / ~½k /`
or something like that.

The winsock2 library provides functions that work on different data

But that is not the only difference: they also do not set `errno` but
expect the callers to enquire about errors via `WSAGetLastError()`.
Let's translate that into appropriate `errno` values whenever the socket
operations fail so that Git's code base does not have to change its
expectations.

Now that we have explored objects by count, we can expand that a bit more to
summarize the data for the on-disk and inflated size of those objects. This
information is helpful for diagnosing both why disk space (and perhaps
clone or fetch times) is growing but also why certain operations are slow
because the inflated size of the abstract objects that must be processed is
so large.
Note: zlib-ng is slightly more efficient even at those small sizes. Even
between zlib versions, there are slight differences in compression. To
accommodate for that in the tests, not the exact numbers but some rough
approximations are validated (the test should validate `git survey`,
after all, not zlib).

As reported in https://lore.kernel.org/git/ZuPKvYP9ZZ2mhb4m@pks.im/,
libcurl v8.10.0 had a regression that was picked up by Git's t5559.30
"large fetch-pack requests can be sent using chunked encoding".
This bug was fixed in libcurl v8.10.1.
Sadly, the macos-13 runner image was updated in the brief window between
these two libcurl versions, breaking each and every CI build, as
reported at https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/5159.
This would usually not matter, we would just ignore the failing CI
builds until the macos-13 runner image is rebuilt in a couple of days,
and then the CI builds would succeed again.
However.
As has become the custom, a surprise Git version was released, and now
that Git for Windows wants to follow suit, since Git for Windows has
this custom of trying to never release a version with a failing CI
build, we _must_ work around it.
This patch implements this work-around, basically for the sake of Git
for Windows v2.46.2's CI build.

The sparse tree walk algorithm was created in d5d2e93577 (revision:
implement sparse algorithm, 2019-01-16) and involves using the
mark_trees_uninteresting_sparse() method. This method takes a repository
and an oidset of tree IDs, some of which have the UNINTERESTING flag and
some of which do not.
Create a method that has an equivalent set of preconditions but uses a
"dense" walk (recursively visits all reachable trees, as long as they
have not previously been marked UNINTERESTING). This is an important
difference from mark_tree_uninteresting(), which short-circuits if the
given tree has the UNINTERESTING flag.
A use of this method will be added in a later change, with a condition
set whether the sparse or dense approach should be used.

Git LFS is now built with Go 1.21 which no longer supports Windows 7.
However, Git for Windows still wants to support Windows 7.
Ideally, Git LFS would re-introduce Windows 7 support until Git for
Windows drops support for Windows 7, but that's not going to happen:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4996#issuecomment-2176152565
The next best thing we can do is to let the users know what is
happening, and how to get out of their fix, at least.
This is not quite as easy as it would first seem because programs
compiled with Go 1.21 or newer will simply throw an exception and fail
with an Access Violation on Windows 7.
The only way I found to address this is to replicate the logic from Go's
very own `version` command (which can determine the Go version with
which a given executable was built) to detect the situation, and in that
case offer a helpful error message.
This addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/4996.

Create a custom table data structure that allows specifying a list of

winuser.h contains the definition of RT_MANIFEST that our LLVM based
toolchain needs to understand that we want to embed
compat/win32/git.manifest as an application manifest. It currently just
embeds it as additional data that Windows doesn't understand.
This also helps our GCC based toolchain understand that we only want one
copy embedded. It currently embeds one working assembly manifest and one
nearly identical, but useless copy as additional data.
This also teaches our Visual Studio based buildsystems to pick up the
manifest file from git.rc. This means we don't have to explicitly specify
it in contrib/buildsystems/Generators/Vcxproj.pm anymore. Slightly
counter-intuitively this also means we have to explicitly tell Cmake

The previous commits introduced a compile-time option to load libcurl
lazily, but it uses the hard-coded name "libcurl-4.dll" (or equivalent
on platforms other than Windows).
To allow for installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, where
each supports one specific SSL/TLS backend, let's first look whether
`libcurl-<backend>-4.dll` exists, and only use `libcurl-4.dll` as a fall
back.
That will allow us to ship with a libcurl by default that only supports
the Secure Channel backend for the `https://` protocol. This libcurl
won't suffer from any dependency problem when upgrading OpenSSL to a new
major version (which will change the DLL name, and hence break every
program and library that depends on it).
This is crucial because Git for Windows relies on libcurl to keep
working when building and deploying a new OpenSSL package because that
library is used by `git fetch` and `git clone`.
Note that this feature is by no means specific to Windows. On Ubuntu,
for example, a `git` built using `LAZY_LOAD_LIBCURL` will use
`libcurl.so.4` for `http.sslbackend=openssl` and `libcurl-gnutls.so.4`
for `http.sslbackend=gnutls`.

This implements the Windows-specific support code, because everything is
slightly different on Windows, even loading shared libraries.
Note: I specifically do _not_ use the code from
`compat/win32/lazyload.h` here because that code is optimized for
loading individual functions from various system DLLs, while we
specifically want to load _many_ functions from _one_ DLL here, and
distinctly not a system DLL (we expect libcurl to be located outside
`C:\Windows\system32`, something `INIT_PROC_ADDR` refuses to work with).
Also, the `curl_easy_getinfo()`/`curl_easy_setopt()` functions are
declared as vararg functions, which `lazyload.h` cannot handle. Finally,
we are about to optionally override the exact file name that is to be
loaded, which is a goal contrary to `lazyload.h`'s design.

This compile-time option allows to ask Git to load libcurl dynamically
at runtime.
Together with a follow-up patch that optionally overrides the file name
depending on the `http.sslBackend` setting, this kicks open the door for
installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, and load the one
corresponding to the (runtime-)configured SSL/TLS backend.
