4c8c909c94 name-hash: fix buffer overrun
Add check for the end of the entries for the thread partition.
Add test for lazy init name hash with specific directory structure

The lazy init hash name was causing a buffer overflow when the last
entry in the index was multiple folder deep with parent folders that
did not have any files in them.

This adds a test for the boundary condition of the thread partitions
with the folder structure that was triggering the buffer overflow.

The fix was to check if it is the last entry for the thread partition
in the handle_range_dir and not try to use the next entry in the cache.

Add t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash.c test code
to demonstrate performance times for lazy_init_name_hash()
using the original single-threaded and the new multi-threaded
code paths.

Includes a --dump option to dump the created hashmaps to
stdout.  You can use this to run both code paths and
confirm that they generate the same hashmaps.

Includes a --analyze option to analyze performance of both
code paths over a range of index sizes to help you find a
lower bound for the LAZY_THREAD_COST in name-hash.c.
For example, passing "-a 4000" will set "istate.cache_nr"
to 4000 and then try the multi-threaded code -- probably
giving 2 threads with 2000 entries each.  It will then
run both the single-threaded (1x4000) and the multi-threaded
(2x2000) and compare the times.  It will then repeat the
test with 8000, 12000, and etc. so that you can see the
cross over.

6d1283030b name-hash: perf improvement for lazy_init_name_hash
Improve performance of lazy_init_name_hash() when
ignore_case is set.  Teach name-hash to build the
istate.name_hash and istate.dir_hash simultaneously
using a forward-diving technique on the pathname
of the index_entry, rather than adding name_hash
entries and then searching backwards in the pathname
for parent directories.

This borrows algorithm ideas from clear_ce_flags_{1,dir}.

Multiple threads are used with the new algorithm to
speed hashmap construction.

This new code path is only used when threads are present
(a compiler settings) and when the index is large enough
to warrant the pthread complexity.

The code in clear_ce_flags_dir() uses a linear search to
find the adjacent index entries with the same prefix; a
binary search is used here handle_range_dir() to further
speed things up.

The size of LAZY_THREAD_COST was determined from rough
analysis using:
    t/helper/test-lazy-init-name-hash --analyze

Previously hashmap_init() was given 0, causing a 64 bucket

realloc and rebalance the hashmap. This is especially true
when the worktree is deep, with many directories containing

8c8bc331da gettext: avoid initialization if the locale dir is not present
The runtime of a simple `git.exe version` call on Windows is currently
dominated by the gettext setup, adding a whopping ~150ms to the ~210ms
total.

Given that this cost is added to each and every git.exe invocation goes
through common-main's invocation of git_setup_gettext(), and given that
scripts have to call git.exe dozens, if not hundreds, of times, this is
a substantial performance penalty.

This is particularly pointless when considering that Git for Windows
ships without localization (to keep the installer's size to a bearable
~34MB): all that time setting up gettext is for naught.

So let's be smart about it and skip setting up gettext if the locale
directory is not even present.

12f33ac823 gettext: use a GIT_LOCALE_PATH relative to $(prefix)
On Windows, we simply pass a POSIX path to bindtextdomain(), relying on
the current libintl-8.dll implementation to handle that gracefully by
resolving the path relative to the "root" directory inferred from the
location of the .dll file itself.

However, not only does this rely on the custom patches of the gettext
library as shipped with MSYS2 (gettext's own source code is not prepared
to handle POSIX paths on Windows), it also means that Git itself cannot
use the `podir` variable at all because it does not handle absolute
POSIX paths in system_path() correctly, leaving them as-is.

This patch fixes that behavior by always using a GIT_LOCALE_PATH
relative to the (runtime) prefix.

45889bb073 gettext: handle GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR relative to $(prefix)
On Windows, there is no single root directory. And what Git thinks is a
root directory is not a root directory at all: everything is relative to
the location where Git is installed.

To handle this situation better, let's just allow for GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR
to be a path relative to the (runtime) prefix.

To that end, we have to switch the order in which common-main handles
argv0 and sets up gettext: in order to have access to the runtime
prefix, we need it to be inferred from argv0 already.

This patch also prepares for GIT_LOCALE_PATH to be relative to prefix,
which is the even more important fix.

e9601b025d mingw: fix isatty() after dup2()
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.

bd84c72821 git gui: de-dup selected repo from recentrepo history
When the gui/user selects a repo for display, that repo is brought to
the end of the recentrepo config list. The logic can fail if there are
duplicate old entries for the repo (you cannot unset a single config
entry when duplicates are present).

Similarly, the maxrecentrepo logic could fail if older duplicate entries
are present.

The first commit of this series ({this}~2) fixed the config unsetting
issue. Rather than manipulating a local copy of the $recent list (one
cannot know how many entries were removed), simply re-read it.

We must also catch the error when the attempt to remove the second copy
from the re-read list is performed.

bc818e4419 git-gui: remove duplicate entries from .gitconfig's gui.recentrepo
The git gui's recent repo list may become contaminated with duplicate
entries. The git gui would barf when attempting to remove one entry.
Remove them all - there is no option within 'git config' to selectively
remove one of the entries.

This issue was reported on the 'Git User' list
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/git-users/msev4KsQGFc,
Warning: gui.recentrepo has multiply values while executing).

And also by zosrothko as a Git-for-Windows issue
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1014.

On startup the gui checks that entries in the recentrepo list are still
valid repos and deletes thoses that are not. If duplicate entries are
present the 'git config --unset' will barf and this prevents the gui
from starting.

Subsequent patches fix other parts of recentrepo logic used for syncing
internal lists with the external .gitconfig.

e88932e4d4 mingw: ensure valid CTYPE
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.

8d0f4d715d fscache: remember not-found directories
Teach FSCACHE to remember "not found" directories.

This is a performance optimization.

FSCACHE is a performance optimization available for Windows.  It
intercepts Posix-style lstat() calls into an in-memory directory
using FindFirst/FindNext.  It improves performance on Windows by
catching the first lstat() call in a directory, using FindFirst/
FindNext to read the list of files (and attribute data) for the
entire directory into the cache, and short-cut subsequent lstat()
calls in the same directory.  This gives a major performance
boost on Windows.

However, it does not remember "not found" directories.  When STATUS
runs and there are missing directories, the lstat() interception
fails to find the parent directory and simply return ENOENT for the
file -- it does not remember that the FindFirst on the directory
failed. Thus subsequent lstat() calls in the same directory, each
re-attempt the FindFirst.  This completely defeats any performance
gains.

This can be seen by doing a sparse-checkout on a large repo and
then doing a read-tree to reset the skip-worktree bits and then
running status.

This change reduced status times for my very large repo by 60%.

0ef17370b3 t9001: work around hard-to-debug hangs
Just like the workaround we added for t9116, t9001.83 hangs sometimes --
but not always! -- when being run in the Git for Windows SDK.

The issue seems to be related to redirection via a pipe, but it is really
hard to diagnose, what with git.exe (a non-MSYS2 program) calling a Perl
script (which is executed by an MSYS2 Perl), piping into another MSYS2
program.

As hunting time is scarce these days, simply work around this for now and
leave the real diagnosis and resolution for later.

b5fe4b0564 t5580: verify that alternates can be UNC paths
On Windows, UNC paths are a very convenient way to share data, and
alternates are all about sharing data.

We fixed a bug where alternates specifying UNC paths were not handled
properly, and it is high time that we add a regression test to ensure
that this bug is not reintroduced.

bfbef6b126 t9116: work around hard-to-debug hangs
As of a couple of weeks ago, t9116 hangs sometimes -- but not always! --
when being run in the Git for Windows SDK.

The issue seems to be related to redirection via a pipe, but it is really
hard to diagnose, what with git.exe (a non-MSYS2 program) calling a Perl
script (which is executed by an MSYS2 Perl), piping into another MSYS2
program.
