The Git wrapper does one thing, and does it well: setting up the
environment required to run Git and its scripts, and then hand off to
another program.
We already do this for the Git executable itself; in Git for Windows'
context, we have exactly the same need also when calling the Git Bash or
Git CMD. However, both are tied to what particular shell environment you
use, though: MSys or MSys2 (or whatever else cunning developers make
work for them). This means that the Git Bash and Git CMD need to be
compiled in the respective context (e.g. when compiling the
mingw-w64-git package in the MSys2 context).
Happily, Windows offers a way to configure compiled executables:
resources. So let's just look whether the current executable has a
string resource and use it as the command-line to execute after the
environment is set up. To support MSys2's Git Bash better (where
`mintty` should, but might not, be available), we verify whether the
specified executable exists, and keep looking for string resources if it
does not.
For even more flexibility, we expand environment variables specified as
`@@<VARIABLE-NAME>@@`, and for convenience `@@EXEPATH@@` expands into
the directory in which the executable resides.

We are about to use the Git wrapper to call the Git Bash of Git for
Windows. All the wrapper needs to do for that is to set up the
environment variables, use the home directory as working directory and
then hand off to a user-specified command-line.
We prepare the existing code for this change by introducing flags to set
up the environment variables, to launch a non-Git program, and to use
the home directory as working directory.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
The original purpose of the Git wrapper is to run from inside Git for
Windows' /cmd/ directory, to allow setting up some environment variables
before Git is allowed to take over.
Due to differences in the file system layout, MSys2 requires some
changes for that to work.
In addition, we must take care to set the `MSYSTEM` environment variable
to `MINGW32` or `MINGW64`, respectively, to allow MSys2 to be configured
correctly in case Git launches a shell or Perl script.
We also need to change the `TERM` variable to `cygwin` instead of
`msys`, otherwise the pager `less.exe` (spawned e.g. by `git log`) will
simply crash with a message similar to this one:

Git started out as a bunch of separate commands, in the true Unix spirit.
Over time, more and more functionality was shared between the different
Git commands, though, so it made sense to introduce the notion of
"builtins": programs that are actually integrated into the main Git
executable.
These builtins can be called in two ways: either by specifying a
subcommand as the first command-line argument, or -- for backwards
compatibility -- by calling the Git executable hardlinked to a filename
of the form "git-<subcommand>". Example: the "log" command can be called
via "git log <parameters>" or via "git-log <parameters>". The latter
form is actually deprecated and only supported for scripts; calling
"git-log" interactively will not even work by default because the
libexec/git-core/ directory is not in the PATH.
All of this is well and groovy as long as hard links are supported.
Sadly, this is not the case in general on Windows. So it actually hurts
quite a bit when you have to fall back to copying all of git.exe's
currently 7.5MB 109 times, just for backwards compatibility.
The simple solution would be to install really trivial shell script
wrappers in place of the builtins:
for builtin in $BUILTINS
do
rm git-$builtin.exe
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec git %s "$@"\n' $builtin > git-builtin
chmod a+x git-builtin
done
This method would work -- even on Windows because Git for Windows ships a
full-fledged Bash. However, the Windows Bash comes at a price: it needs to
spin up a full-fledged POSIX emulation layer everytime it starts.
Therefore, the shell script solution would incur a significant performance
penalty.
The best solution the Git for Windows team could come up with is to extend
the Git wrapper -- that is needed to call Git from cmd.exe anyway, and
that weighs in with a scant 19KB -- to also serve as a drop-in replacement
for the builtins so that the following workaround is satisfactory:
for builtin in $BUILTINS
do
cp git-wrapper.exe git-$builtin.exe
done
This commit allows for this, by extending the module file parsing to
turn builtin command names like `git-log.exe ...` into calls to the main
Git executable: `git.exe log ...`.

* Some of the higher level x* APIs from wrapper.c require a working
getenv(), using e.g. xstrdup() during initialization is dangerous.
* Slashifying the Windows TMP variable may break native Windows programs,

* Properly slashify TMPDIR even if it is already set, and also if we only
have TEMP, but not TMP.
* Reduce complexity from O(n) to O(log n).

This developer should really, really have known better. The fact that we
are changing the environment in ways for which the MSVCRT is not
prepared for is bad enough. But then this developer followed the request
to re-enable nedmalloc -- despite the prediction that it would cause an
access violation, predicting it in the same message as the request to
re-enable nedmalloc, no less!
To paper over the issue until the time when this developer finds the
time to re-design the Unicode environment handling from scratch, let's
hope that cURL is the only library we are using that *may* set an
environment variable using MSVCRT's putenv() after we fscked the
environment up.
Note: this commit can serve as no source of pride to anyone, certainly
not yours truly. It is necessary as a quick and pragmatic stop gap,
though, to prevent worse problems.
Note: cURL manages to set the variable CHARSET when nedmalloc is *not*
enabled, without causing an access violation. In that case, it sets it
successfully to the value "cp" + GetACP() (hence it is our choice, too,
cURL may need it, Git does not):

The environment is modified in most surprising circumstances, and not
all of them are under Git's control. For example, calling
curl_global_init() on Windows will ensure that the CHARSET variable is
set, adding one if necessary.
While the previous commit worked around crashes triggered by such
outside changes of the environment by relaxing the requirement that the
environment be terminated by a NULL pointer, the other assumption made
by `mingw_getenv()` and `mingw_putenv()` is that the environment is
sorted, for efficient lookup via binary search.
Let's make real sure that our environment is intact before querying or
modifying it, and reinitialize our idea of the environment if necessary.
With this commit, before working on the environment we look briefly for
indicators that the environment was modified outside of our control, and
to ensure that it is terminated with a NULL pointer and sorted again in
that case.
Note: the indicators are maybe not sufficient. For example, when a
variable is removed, it will not be noticed. It might also be a problem
if outside changes to the environment result in a modified `environ`
pointer: it is unclear whether such a modification could result in a
problem when `mingw_putenv()` needs to `realloc()` the environment
buffer.
For the moment, however, the current fix works well enough, so let's
only face the potential problems when (and if!) they occur.

Outside of our Windows-specific code, the end of the environment can be
marked also by a pointer to a NUL character, not only by a NULL pointer
as our code assumed so far.
That led to a buffer overrun in `make_environment_block()` when running
`git-remote-https` in `mintty` (because `curl_global_init()` added the
`CHARSET` environment variable *outside* of `mingw_putenv()`, ending the
environment in a pointer to an empty string).
Side note for future debugging on Windows: when running programs in
`mintty`, the standard input/output/error is not connected to a Win32
Console, but instead is pipe()d. That means that even stderr may not be
written completely before a crash, but has to be fflush()ed explicitly.
For example, when debugging crashes, the developer should insert an
`fflush(stderr);` at the end of the `error()` function defined in
usage.c.

It is unlikely that we have an empty environment, ever, but *if* we do,

MSys2 emulates pseudo terminals via named pipes, and isatty() returns 0
for such file descriptors. Therefore, some interactive functionality (such
as launching a pager, asking if a failed unlink should be repeated etc.)
doesn't work when run in a terminal emulator that uses MSys ptys (such as
mintty).
However, MSys uses special names for its pty pipes ('msys-*-pty*'), which
allows us to distinguish them from normal piped input / output.
On startup, check if stdin / stdout / stderr are connected to such pipes
using the NtQueryObject API from NTDll.dll. If the names match, adjust the
flags in MSVCRT's ioinfo structure accordingly.

On Windows >= Vista, not having an application manifest with a
requestedExecutionLevel can cause several kinds of confusing behavior.
The first and more obvious behavior is "Installer Detection", where
Windows sometimes decides (by looking at things like the file name and
even sequences of bytes within the executable) that an executable is an
installer and should run elevated (causing the well-known popup dialog
to appear). In Git's context, subcommands such as "git patch-id" or "git
update-index" fall prey to this behavior.
The second and more confusing behavior is "File Virtualization". It
means that when files are written without having write permission, it
does not fail (as expected), but they are instead redirected to
somewhere else. When the files are read, the original contents are
returned, though, not the ones that were just written somewhere else.
Even more confusing, not all write accesses are redirected; Trying to
write to write-protected .exe files, for example, will fail instead of
redirecting.
In addition to being unwanted behavior, File Virtualization causes
dramatic slowdowns in Git (see for instance
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=320).
There are two ways to prevent those two behaviors: Either you embed an
application manifest within all your executables, or you add an external
manifest (a file with the same name followed by .manifest) to all your
executables. Since Git's builtins are hardlinked (or copied), it is
simpler and more robust to embed a manifest.
A recent enough MSVC compiler should already embed a working internal
manifest, but for MinGW you have to do so by hand.
Very lightly tested on Wine, where like on Windows XP it should not make
any difference.

Windows paths are typically limited to MAX_PATH = 260 characters, even
though the underlying NTFS file system supports paths up to 32,767 chars.
This limitation is also evident in Windows Explorer, cmd.exe and many
other applications (including IDEs).
Particularly annoying is that most Windows APIs return bogus error codes
if a relative path only barely exceeds MAX_PATH in conjunction with the
current directory, e.g. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND / ENOENT instead of the
infinitely more helpful ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE / ENAMETOOLONG.
Many Windows wide char APIs support longer than MAX_PATH paths through the
file namespace prefix ('\\?\' or '\\?\UNC\') followed by an absolute path.
Notable exceptions include functions dealing with executables and the
current directory (CreateProcess, LoadLibrary, Get/SetCurrentDirectory) as
well as the entire shell API (ShellExecute, SHGetSpecialFolderPath...).
Introduce a handle_long_path function to check the length of a specified
path properly (and fail with ENAMETOOLONG), and to optionally expand long
paths using the '\\?\' file namespace prefix. Short paths will not be
modified, so we don't need to worry about device names (NUL, CON, AUX).
Contrary to MSDN docs, the GetFullPathNameW function doesn't seem to be
limited to MAX_PATH (at least not on Win7), so we can use it to do the
heavy lifting of the conversion (translate '/' to '\', eliminate '.' and
'..', and make an absolute path).
Add long path error checking to xutftowcs_path for APIs with hard MAX_PATH
limit.
Add a new MAX_LONG_PATH constant and xutftowcs_long_path function for APIs
that support long paths.
While improved error checking is always active, long paths support must be
explicitly enabled via 'core.longpaths' option. This is to prevent end
users to shoot themselves in the foot by checking out files that Windows
Explorer, cmd/bash or their favorite IDE cannot handle.
Test suite:
Test the case is when the full pathname length of a dir is close
to 260 (MAX_PATH).

Checking the work tree status is quite slow on Windows, due to slow lstat
emulation (git calls lstat once for each file in the index). Windows
operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the status
of entire directories than checking single files.
Add an lstat implementation that uses a cache for lstat data. Cache misses
read the entire parent directory and add it to the cache. Subsequent lstat
calls for the same directory are served directly from the cache.
Also implement opendir / readdir / closedir so that they create and use
directory listings in the cache.
The cache doesn't track file system changes and doesn't plug into any
modifying file APIs, so it has to be explicitly enabled for git functions
that don't modify the working copy.
Note: in an earlier version of this patch, the cache was always active and
tracked file system changes via ReadDirectoryChangesW. However, this was
much more complex and had negative impact on the performance of modifying
git commands such as 'git checkout'.
