In Git for Windows, there is an option to mark the .git directory as
hidden. Our test cases verify this by using the system utility
`attrib.exe`.
This file name is unfortunately quite generic, and overlaps with a
Unix-y utility that might be hiding the system one in the `PATH`.
Let's specify explicitly which `attrib` to use.

When compiling Git with a runtime prefix (so that it can be installed
into any location, finding its libexec/ directory relative to the
location of the `git` executable), it is convenient to provide
"absolute" Unix-y paths e.g. for http.sslCAInfo, and have those absolute
paths be resolved relative to the runtime prefix.
This patch makes it so for Windows. It is up for discussion whether we
want this for other platforms, too, as long as building with
RUNTIME_PREFIX.

The winsock2 library provides functions that work on different data
types than file descriptors, therefore we wrap them.
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.

Since commit 0c499ea60f the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.
Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.
The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from ttps://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to mimic the
functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll to treat sockets as
Installable File System (IFS) handles, calling ReadFile, WriteFile,
DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on them. This approach works well in simple
cases on recent versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns.
In particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write concurrently
on the same socket (from one or more processes) will deadlock in a scenario
where the read waits for a response from the server which is only invoked after
the write. This is what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
codepath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new config option "sendpack.sideband" allows to override the side-band-64k
capability of the server, and thus makes the dump git protocol work.
Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of "sendpack.sideband"
is still true.

Git for Windows is compiled with a runtime prefix, and that runtime
prefix is typically `C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64`. As we want the
system gitconfig to live in the sibling directory `etc`, we define the
relative path as `../etc/gitconfig`.
However, as reported by Philip Oakley, the output of `git config
--show-origin --system -l` looks rather ugly, as it shows the path as
`file:C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/../etc/gitconfig`, i.e. with the
`mingw64/../` part.
By normalizing the path, we get a prettier path.

On certain network filesystems (currently encounterd with Isilon, but in
theory more network storage solutions could be causing the same issue),
when the directory in question is missing, `raceproof_create_file()`
fails with an `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER` instead of an

MSys2's strace facility is very useful for debugging... With this patch,
the bash will be executed through strace if the environment variable
GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS is set, which comes in real handy when investigating
issues in the test suite.
Also support passing a path to a log file via GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS to
force Git to call strace.exe with the `-o <path>` argument, i.e. to log
into a file rather than print the log directly.
That comes in handy when the output would otherwise misinterpreted by a
calling process as part of Git's output.
Note: the values "1", "yes" or "true" are *not* specifying paths, but
tell Git to let strace.exe log directly to the console.

Git for Windows' prefix is `/mingw64/` (or `/mingw32/` for 32-bit
versions), therefore the system config is located at the clunky location
`C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig`.
This moves the system config into a more logical location: the `mingw64`
part of `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig` never made sense,
as it is a mere implementation detail. Let's skip the `mingw64` part and
move this to `C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig`.
Side note: in the rare (and not recommended) case a user chooses to
install 32-bit Git for Windows on a 64-bit system, the path will of
course be `C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig`.
Background: During the Git for Windows v1.x days, the system config was
located at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig`. With Git for
Windows v2.x, it moved to `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\gitconfig` (or
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\mingw32\gitconfig`). Rather than fixing it
back then, we tried to introduce a "Windows-wide" config, but that never
caught on.
Likewise, we move the system `gitattributes` into the same directory.
Obviously, we are cautious to do this only for the known install
locations `/mingw64` and `/mingw32`; If anybody wants to override that
while building their version of Git (e.g. via `make prefix=$HOME`), we
leave the default location of the system config and gitattributes alone.

It seems to be not exactly rare on Windows to install NTFS junction
points (the equivalent of "bind mounts" on Linux/Unix) in worktrees,
e.g. to map some development tools into a subdirectory.
In such a scenario, it is pretty horrible if `git clean -dfx` traverses
into the mapped directory and starts to "clean up".
Let's just not do that. Let's make sure before we traverse into a
directory that it is not a mount point (or junction).

For performance reasons `stdout` is buffered by default. That leads to
problems if after printing to `stdout` a read on `stdin` is performed.
For that reason interactive commands like `git clean -i` do not function

trying to read from `stdin`.
So let's precede all reads on `stdin` in `git clean -i` by flushing

From the documentation of said setting:
This boolean will enable fsync() when writing object files.
This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that
orders data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems
that do not use journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or
that only journal metadata and not file contents (OS X’s HFS+,
or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
The most common file system on Windows (NTFS) does not guarantee that
order, therefore a sudden loss of power (or any other event causing an
unclean shutdown) would cause corrupt files (i.e. files filled with
NULs). Therefore we need to change the default.
Note that the documentation makes it sound as if this causes really bad
performance. In reality, writing loose objects is something that is done
only rarely, and only a handful of files at a time.

This topic branch fixes a corner case that is amazingly common in this

It is one of those "good enough" fixes, not a full fix, though, as the

To avoid running into command line limitations, some of Git's commands
support the `--stdin` option.
Let's use exactly this option in the three rev-list/log invocations in
gitk that would otherwise possibly run the danger of trying to invoke a
too-long command line.
While it is easy to redirect either stdin or stdout in Tcl/Tk scripts,
what we need here is both. We need to capture the output, yet we also
need to pipe in the revs/files arguments via stdin (because stdin does
not have any limit, unlike the command line). To help this, we use the
neat Tcl feature where you can capture stdout and at the same time feed
a fixed string as stdin to the spawned process.
One non-obvious aspect about this change is that the `--stdin` option
allows to specify revs, the double-dash, and files, but *no* other
options such as `--not`. This is addressed by prefixing the "negative"
revs with `^` explicitly rather than relying on the `--not` option
(thanks for coming up with that idea, Max!).

When trying to stash part of the worktree changes by splitting a hunk
and then only partially accepting the split bits and pieces, the user
is presented with a rather cryptic error:
error: patch failed: <file>:<line>
error: test: patch does not apply
Cannot remove worktree changes
and the command would fail to stash the desired parts of the worktree
changes (even if the `stash` ref was actually updated correctly).
We even have a test case demonstrating that failure, carrying it for
four years already.
The explanation: when splitting a hunk, the changed lines are no longer
separated by more than 3 lines (which is the amount of context lines
Git's diffs use by default), but less than that. So when staging only
part of the diff hunk for stashing, the resulting diff that we want to
apply to the worktree in reverse will contain those changes to be
dropped surrounded by three context lines, but since the diff is
relative to HEAD rather than to the worktree, these context lines will
not match.
Example time. Let's assume that the file README contains these lines:
We
the
people
and the worktree added some lines so that it contains these lines
instead:
We
are
the
kind
people
and the user tries to stash the line containing "are", then the command
will internally stage this line to a temporary index file and try to
revert the diff between HEAD and that index file. The diff hunk that
`git stash` tries to revert will look somewhat like this:
@@ -1776,3 +1776,4
We
+are
the
people
It is obvious, now, that the trailing context lines overlap with the
part of the original diff hunk that the user did *not* want to stash.
Keeping in mind that context lines in diffs serve the primary purpose of
finding the exact location when the diff does not apply precisely (but
when the exact line number in the file to be patched differs from the
line number indicated in the diff), we work around this by reducing the
amount of context lines: the diff was just generated.
Note: this is not a *full* fix for the issue. Just as demonstrated in
t3701's 'add -p works with pathological context lines' test case, there
are ambiguities in the diff format. It is very rare in practice, of
course, to encounter such repeated lines.
The full solution for such cases would be to replace the approach of
generating a diff from the stash and then applying it in reverse by
emulating `git revert` (i.e. doing a 3-way merge). However, in `git
stash -p` it would not apply to `HEAD` but instead to the worktree,
which makes this non-trivial to implement as long as we also maintain a
scripted version of `add -i`.

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.

the test script `t3904-stash-patch.sh` that demonstrated that splitting

As expected, it still fails, but for the wrong reason: once the bug is
fixed, we would expect stderr to show nothing, yet the regression test
expects stderr to show something.
Let's fix that by telling that regression test case to expect nothing to

This is a performance optimization. This routine is called
during run_diff_files in status and the caller is iterating
