In the years-old effort to clean up the PATH a bit, we deprecated dashed

The original idea of deprecating invocations of Git subcommands via
their dashed form was to be able to ship without having to hard-link
each and every builtin to its dashed form.
We need to follow this plan ourselves, by patching our very own scripts
accordingly.

A long time ago, in turn a long time after introducing builtins and
moving Git's scripts to libexec/git-core/, we deprecated the invocation
of dashed commands.
The merge-octopus script is a holdover from the time before that, as it
still tries to invoke a builtin by its dashed form. Let's just not.

Coverity is a tool to analyze code statically, trying to find common (or
not so common) problems before they occur in production.
Coverity offers its services to Open Source software, and just like
upstream Git, Git for Windows applied and was granted the use.
While Coverity reports a lot of false positives due to Git's (ab-)use of
the FLEX_ARRAY feature (where it declares a 0-byte or 1-byte array at the
end of a struct, and then allocates a variable-length data structure
holding a variable-length string at the end, so that the struct as well as
the string can be released with a single free()), there were a few issues
reported that are true positives, and not all of them were resource leaks
in builtins (for which it is considered kind of okay to not release memory
just before exit() is called anyway).
This topic branch tries to address a couple of those issues.
Note: there are a couple more issues left, either because they are tricky
to resolve (in some cases, the custody of occasionally-allocated memory is
very unclear) or because it is unclear whether they are false positives
(due to the hard-to-reason-about nature of the code). It's a start,
though.

This topic branch allows us to specify absolute paths without the drive
prefix e.g. when cloning.
Example:

This will clone into a new directory C:\upstream-git, in line with how
Windows interprets absolute paths.

The `guess_ref()` returns an allocated buffer of which `make_linked_ref()`
does not take custody (`alloc_ref()` makes a copy), therefore we need to
release the buffer afterwards.

We free()d the `log` buffer when dwim_log() returned 1, but not when it
returned a larger value (which meant that it still allocated the buffer
but we simply ignored it).
While in the vicinity, make sure that the `reflogs` structure as well as
the `branch` variable are released properly, too.

Coverity reported a memory leak in this function. However, it can only
be called once, as setup_git_directory() changes global state and hence

This function did a whole lot of unnecessary work, such as reading in
four files just to figure out that, oh, hey, we do not need to look at
them after all because the HEAD is not detached.
Simplify the entire function to return early when possible, to read in
the files only when necessary, and to release the allocated memory
always (there was a leak, reported via Coverity, where we failed to
release the allocated strings if the HEAD is not detached).

While POSIX states that it is okay to pass EOF to isspace() (and it seems
to be implied that EOF should *not* be treated as whitespace), and also to
pass EOF to ungetc() (which seems to be intended to fail without buffering
the character), it is much better to handle these cases explicitly. Not
only does it reduce head-scratching (and helps static analysis avoid
reporting false positives), it also lets us handle files containing
nothing but whitespace by erroring out.

To initialize the foreground color attributes of "plain text", our ANSI
emulation tries to infer them from the currently attached console while
running the is_console() function. This function first tries to detect any
console attached to stdout, then it is called with stderr.
If neither stdout nor stderr has any console attached, it does not
actually matter what we use for "plain text" attributes, as we never need
to output any text to any console in that case.
However, after working on stdout and stderr, is_console() is called with
stdin, and it still tries to initialize the "plain text" attributes if
they had not been initialized earlier. In this case, we cannot detect any
attributes, and we used an uninitialized value for them.
Naturally, Coverity complained about this use case because it could not
reason about the code deeply enough to figure out that we do not even use
those attributes in that case.
Let's just initialize the value to 0 in that case, both to avoid future
Coverity reports, and to help catch future regressions in case anybody
changes the order of the is_console() calls (which would make the text
black on black).

This topic branch allows us to skip the gettext initialization
when the locale directory does not even exist.
This saves 150ms out of 210ms for a simply `git version` call on
Windows, and it most likely will help scripts that call out to
`git.exe` hundreds of times.

We newly handle isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file
descriptors, caching the return value. However, we missed the case where
dup2() overrides the respective file descriptor.
That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very
early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the
return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently,
`cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should
happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and
consequently stdout should be left alone.
Let's override dup2() to handle this appropriately.

A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified
how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime
derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls
for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20).
An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.
One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.

On Windows, there are several categories of absolute paths. One such
category starts with a backslash and is implicitly relative to the
drive associated with the current working directory. Example:
c:
git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W
should clone into C:\G4W.
There is currently a problem with that, in that mingw_mktemp() does not
expect the _wmktemp() function to prefix the absolute path with the
drive prefix, and as a consequence, the resulting path does not fit into
the originally-passed string buffer. The symptom is a "Result too large"
error.
