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.

This topic branch allows us to specify absolute paths without the drive
prefix e.g. when cloning.
Example:
C:\Users\me> git clone https://github.com/git/git \upstream-git
This will clone into a new directory C:\upstream-git, in line with how
Windows interprets absolute paths.

These fixes were necessary for Sverre Rabbelier's remote-hg to work,
but for some magic reason they are not necessary for the current
remote-hg. Makes you wonder how that one gets away with it.

When debugging Git, the criss-cross spawning of processes can make
things quite a bit difficult, especially when a Unix shell script is
thrown in the mix that calls a `git.exe` that then segfaults.
To help debugging such things, we introduce the `open_in_gdb()` function
which can be called at a code location where the segfault happens (or as
close as one can get); This will open a new MinTTY window with a GDB
that already attached to the current process.
Inspired by Derrick Stolee.

It gets a bit silly to add the commands to the name of the test script,
so let's just rename it while we're testing more UNC stuff.

When specifying an absolute path without a drive prefix, we convert that
path internally. Let's make sure that we handle that case properly, too
;-)
This fixes the command
git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W

Teach register_rename_src() to see if new file pair
can simply be appended to the rename_src[] array before
performing the binary search to find the proper insertion
point.
This is a performance optimization. This routine is called
during run_diff_files in status and the caller is iterating
over the sorted index, so we should expect to be able to
append in the normal case. The existing insert logic is
preserved so we don't have to assume that, but simply take
advantage of it if possible.

After importing anything with fast-import, we should always let the
garbage collector do its job, since the objects are written to disk
inefficiently.
This brings down an initial import of http://selenic.com/hg from about
230 megabytes to about 14.
In the future, we may want to make this configurable on a per-remote
basis, or maybe teach fast-import about it in the first place.

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.

This happens only when the corresponding commits are not exported in
the current fast-export run. This can happen either when the relevant
commit is already marked, or when the commit is explicitly marked
as UNINTERESTING with a negative ref by another argument.
This breaks fast-export basec remote helpers.

Technical details of the bundle format has been documented.
I think this is in a good enough shape.
* ms/doc-bundle-format:
doc: describe Git bundle format
"git grep --no-index" should not get affected by the contents of
the .gitmodules file but when "--recurse-submodules" is given or
the "submodule.recurse" variable is set, it did. Now these
settings are ignored in the "--no-index" mode.
* pb/do-not-recurse-grep-no-index:
grep: ignore --recurse-submodules if --no-index is given
Corner case bugs in "git clean" that stems from a (necessarily for
performance reasons) awkward calling convention in the directory
enumeration API has been corrected.
* en/fill-directory-fixes-more:
dir: point treat_leading_path() warning to the right place
dir: restructure in a way to avoid passing around a struct dirent
dir: treat_leading_path() and read_directory_recursive(), round 2

The code recently added in this release to move to the entry beyond
the ones in the same directory in the index in the sparse-cone mode
did not count the number of entries to skip over incorrectly, which

"git restore --staged" did not correctly update the cache-tree

has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the

"git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is
nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints

This fix makes using Git credentials more friendly to Windows users. In
previous version it was unable to finish input correctly without
configuration changes (tested in PowerShell, CMD, Cygwin).
We know credential filling should be finished by empty input, but the
current implementation does not take into account CR/LF ending, and
hence instead of the empty string we get '\r', which is interpreted as
an incorrect string.
So this commit changes default reading function to a more Windows
compatible reading function.
