"new safer autocrlf handling":
- Check if eols in a file are converted at commit, when the file has
CR (or CRLF) in the repo (technically speaking in the index).
- Add a test-file repoMIX with mixed line-endings.
- When converting LF->CRLF or CRLF->LF: check the warnings
checkout_files():
- Checking out CRLF_nul and checking for eol coversion does not
make much sense (CRLF will stay CRLF).
- Use the file LF_nul instead: It is handled a binary in "auto" modes,
and when declared as text the LF may be replaced with CRLF, depending
on the configuration.

t0027 expects the native end-of-lines to be a single line feed
character. On Windows, however, we set it to a carriage return
character followed by a line feed character. Thus, we have to
modify t0027 to expect different warnings depending on the
end-of-line markers.
Adjust the check of the warnings and use these macros:
WILC: Warn if LF becomes CRLF
WICL: Warn if CRLF becomes LF
WAMIX: Mixed line endings: either CRLF->LF or LF->CRLF
Improve the information given by check_warning().
Use test_cmp to show which warning is missing (or shouldn't be
there).

This branch introduces support for reading the "Windows-wide" Git
configuration from `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config`. As these settings are
intended to be shared between *all* Git-related software, that config

Between the libgit2 and the Git for Windows project, there has been a
discussion how we could share Git configuration to avoid duplication (or
worse: skew).
Earlier, libgit2 was nice enough to just re-use Git for Windows'
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig
but with the upcoming Git for Windows 2.x, there would be more paths to
search, as we will have 64-bit and 32-bit versions, and the
corresponding config files will be in %PROGRAMFILES%\Git\mingw64\etc and
...\mingw32\etc, respectively.
Worse: there are portable Git for Windows versions out there which live
in totally unrelated directories, still.
Therefore we came to a consensus to use `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` as the
location for shared Git settings that are of wider interest than just Git
for Windows.
On XP, there is no %PROGRAMDATA%, therefore we need to use
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Git\config" in those setups.
Of course, the configuration in `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` has the
widest reach, therefore it must take the lowest precedence, i.e. Git for
Windows can still override settings in its `etc/gitconfig` file.

The idea of `git-bash.exe` automatically running the Git Bash in the
home directory was to support the start menu item `Git Bash` (which
should not start in C:\Program Files\Git, but in $HOME), and to make
that behavior consistent with double-clicking in `git-bash.exe`
portable Git.
However, it turns out that one of the main use cases of portable Git is
to run the Git Bash in GitHub for Windows, and it should start in the
top-level directory of a given project. Therefore, the concern to keep
double-clicking `git-bash.exe` consistent with the start menu item was
actually unfounded.
As to the start menu item: it can easily be changed to launch
`git-bash.exe` with a command-line option. So let's introduce the
--cd-to-home option for that purpose.
As a bonus, the Git wrapper can now also serve as a drop-in redirector
/bin/bash.exe to provide backwards-compatibility of Git for Windows 2.x
with 1.x: some 3rd-party software expects to find that executable there,
and it also expects it to leave the working directory unchanged.

By embedding string resources into the Git wrapper executable, it
can be configured to execute custom commands (after setting up the
environment in the way required for Git for Windows to work properly).
This feature is used e.g. for `git-bash.exe` which launches a Bash in
the configured terminal window.
Here, we introduce command-line options to override those string
resources. That way, a user can call `git-bash.exe` (which is a copy of
the Git wrapper with `usr\bin\bash.exe --login -i` embedded as string
resource) with command-line options that will override what command is
run.
ConEmu, for example, might want to call
...\git-bash.exe --needs-console --no-hide --minimal-search-path ^
--command=usr\\bin\\bash.exe --login -i
In particular, the following options are supported now:
--command=<command-line>::
Executes `<command-line>` instead of the embedded string resource
--[no-]minimal-search-path::
Ensures that only `/cmd/` is added to the `PATH` instead of
`/mingw??/bin` and `/usr/bin/`, or not
--[no-]needs-console::
Ensures that there is a Win32 console associated with the spawned
process, or not
--[no-]hide::
Hides the console window, or not

When developing Git for Windows, we always have to ensure that we do not
break any non-Windows platforms, e.g. by introducing Windows-specific code
into the platform-independent source code.
At other times, it is necessary to test whether a bug is Windows-specific
or not, in order to send the bug report to the correct place. Having
access to a Linux-based Git comes in really handy in such a situation.
Vagrant offers a painless way to install and use a defined Linux
development environment on Windows (and other Operating Systems). We offer
a Vagrantfile to that end for two reasons:
1) To allow Windows users to gain the full power of Linux' Git
2) To offer users an easy path to verify that the issue they are about
to report is really a Windows-specific issue; otherwise they would
need to report it to git@vger.kernel.org instead.
Using it is easy: Download and install https://www.virtualbox.org/, then
download and install https://www.vagrantup.com/, then direct your
command-line window to the Git source directory containing the Vagrantfile
and run the commands:
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
See https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Vagrant for details.
As part of switching Git for Windows' development environment from msysGit
to the MSys2-based Git SDK, this Vagrantfile was copy-edited from msysGit:

Use msysGit's `git-wrapper` instead of the builtins. This works around
two issues:
- when the file system does not allow hard links, we would waste over
800 megabyte by having 109 copies of a multi-megabyte executable
- even when the file system allows hard links, the Windows Explorer
counts the disk usage as if it did not. Many users complained about
Git for Windows using too much space (when it actually did not). We
can easily avoid those user complaints by merging this branch.

This is needed so that `_wchdir()` can be used with drive root
directories, e.g. C:\ (`_wchdir("C:")` fails to switch the directory
to the root directory).
This fixes https://github.com/msysgit/git/issues/359 (in Git for Windows
2.x only, though).
Likewise, `readlink()`'s semantics require a trailing slash for symbolic
links pointing to directories. Otherwise all checked out symbolic links
pointing to directories would be marked as modified even directly after a
fresh clone.

The SVN library doesn't seem to support symlinks, even if symlinks are
enabled in MSys and Git. Use 'cp' instead of 'ln -s'.
Signed-off-by: Karsten Blees <blees@dcon.de>
Symlinks on Windows have a flag that indicates whether the target is a file
or a directory. Symlinks of wrong type simply don't work. This even affects
core Win32 APIs (e.g. DeleteFile() refuses to delete directory symlinks).
However, CreateFile() with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS doesn't seem to care.
Check the target type by first creating a tentative file symlink, opening
it, and checking the type of the resulting handle. If it is a directory,
recreate the symlink with the directory flag set.
It is possible to create symlinks before the target exists (or in case of
symlinks to symlinks: before the target type is known). If this happens,
create a tentative file symlink and postpone the directory decision: keep
a list of phantom symlinks to be processed whenever a new directory is
created in mingw_mkdir().
Limitations: This algorithm may fail if a link target changes from file to
directory or vice versa, or if the target directory is created in another
process.

If symlinks are enabled, resolve all symlinks when changing directories,
as required by POSIX.
Note: Git's real_path() function bases its link resolution algorithm on
this property of chdir(). Unfortunately, the current directory on Windows
is limited to only MAX_PATH (260) characters. Therefore using symlinks and
long paths in combination may be problematic.
Note: GetFinalPathNameByHandleW() was introduced with symlink support in
Windows Vista. Thus, for compatibility with Windows XP, we need to load it
dynamically and behave gracefully if it isnt's available.

Symlinks on Windows don't work the same way as on Unix systems. E.g. there
are different types of symlinks for directories and files, creating
symlinks requires administrative privileges etc.
By default, disable symlink support on Windows. I.e. users explicitly have
to enable it with 'git config [--system|--global] core.symlinks true'.
The test suite ignores system / global config files. Allow testing *with*
symlink support by checking if native symlinks are enabled in MSys2 (via
'MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict').
Reminder: This would need to be changed if / when we find a way to run the
test suite in a non-MSys-based shell (e.g. dash).
