3611bbe0db mingw: work around incorrect standard handles
For some reason, when being called via TortoiseGit the standard handles,
or at least what is returned by _get_osfhandle(0) for standard input,
can take on the value (HANDLE)-2 (which is not a legal value, according
to the documentation).

Even if this value is not documented anywhere, CreateProcess() seems to
work fine without complaints if hStdInput set to this value.

In contrast, the upcoming code to restrict which file handles get
inherited by spawned processes would result in `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER`
when including such handle values in the list.

To help this, special-case the value (HANDLE)-2 returned by
_get_osfhandle() and replace it with INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, which will
hopefully let the handle inheritance restriction work even when called
from TortoiseGit.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1481

0ad4014791 mingw: demonstrate that all file handles are inherited by child processes
When spawning child processes, we really should be careful which file
handles we let them inherit.

This is doubly important on Windows, where we cannot rename, delete, or
modify files if there is still a file handle open.

Sadly, we have to guard this test inside #ifdef WIN32: we need to use
the value of the HANDLE directly, and that concept does not exist on
Linux/Unix.

In Git for Windows, there is an option to mark the .git directory as

`attrib.exe`.

This file name is unfortunately quite generic, and overlaps with a

ede7a3898e Merge branch 'mingw-expand-absolute-user-path'
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.

84c6ee33f6 mingw: cope with the Isilon network file system
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
`ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND`.

Since it is highly unlikely that we produce such an error by mistake
(the parameters we pass are fairly benign), we can be relatively certain
that the directory is missing in this instance. So let's just translate
that error automagically.

Windows' equivalent to "bind mounts", NTFS junction points, can be

target directory of said junction should be left alone (unless it is

798229341e clean: do not traverse mount points
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).

e8750a2517 Help debugging with MSys2 by optionally executing bash with strace
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.

df82e28a52 mingw: explicitly fflush stdout
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
properly anymore if the `stdout` is not flushed by `fflush(stdout)` before
trying to read from `stdin`.

So let's precede all reads on `stdin` in `git clean -i` by flushing
`stdout`.

490ee9b82e gitk: prevent overly long command lines
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!).

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1987

7e4593137b mingw: change core.fsyncObjectFiles = 1 by default
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.

516a179006 Windows: add support for a Windows-wide configuration
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.

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.

50fa1b80dc msvc: work around a bug in GetEnvironmentVariable()
The return value of that function is 0 both for variables that are
unset, as well as for variables whose values are empty. To discern those
two cases, one has to call `GetLastError()`, whose return value is
`ERROR_ENVVAR_NOT_FOUND` and `ERROR_SUCCESS`, respectively.

Except that it is not actually set to `ERROR_SUCCESS` in the latter
case, apparently, but the last error value seems to be simply unchanged.

To work around this, let's just re-set the last error value just before
inspecting the environment variable.

This fixes a problem that triggers failures in t3301-notes.sh (where we
try to override config settings by passing empty values for certain
environment variables).

This problem is hidden in the MINGW build by the fact that older
MSVC runtimes (such as the one used by MINGW builds) have a `calloc()`
that re-sets the last error value in case of success, while newer
runtimes set the error value only if `NULL` is returned by that
function.

c79c47a162 msvc: ignore some libraries when linking
To build with MSVC, we "translate" GCC options to MSVC options, and part
of those options refer to the libraries to link into the final
executable. Currently, this part looks somewhat like this on Windows:

	-lcurl -lnghttp2 -lidn2 -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32
	-lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lz -lws2_32 -lexpat

Some of those are direct dependencies (such as curl and ssl) and others
are indirect (nghttp2 and idn2, for example, are dependencies of curl,
but need to be linked in for reasons).

We already handle the direct dependencies, e.g. `-liconv` is already
handled as adding `libiconv.lib` to the list of libraries to link
against.

Let's just ignore the remaining `-l*` options so that MSVC does not have
to warn us that it ignored e.g. the `/lnghttp2` option. We do that by
extending the clause that already "eats" the `-R*` options to also eat
the `-l*` options.

25144753ae msvc: avoid using minus operator on unsigned types
MSVC complains about this with `-Wall`, which can be taken as a sign
that this is indeed a real bug. The symptom is:

	C4146: unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result
	still unsigned

Let's avoid this warning in the minimal way, e.g. writing `-1 -
<unsigned value>` instead of `-<unsigned value> - 1`.

Note that the change in the `estimate_cache_size()` function is
needed because MSVC considers the "return type" of the `sizeof()`
operator to be `size_t`, i.e. unsigned, and therefore it cannot be
negated using the unary minus operator.

Even worse, that arithmetic is doing extra work, in vain. We want to
calculate the entry extra cache size as the difference between the
size of the `cache_entry` structure minus the size of the
`ondisk_cache_entry` structure, padded to the appropriate alignment
boundary.

To that end, we start by assigning that difference to the `per_entry`
variable, and then abuse the `len` parameter of the
`align_padding_size()` macro to take the negative size of the ondisk
entry size. Essentially, we try to avoid passing the already calculated
difference to that macro by passing the operands of that difference
instead, when the macro expects operands of an addition:

	#define align_padding_size(size, len) \
		((size + (len) + 8) & ~7) - (size + len)

Currently, we pass A and -B to that macro instead of passing A - B and
0, where A - B is already stored in the `per_entry` variable, ready to
be used.

This is neither necessary, nor intuitive. Let's fix this, and have code
that is both easier to read and that also does not trigger MSVC's
warning.

753e6bb72e Merge branch 'add-p-in-c-config-settings'
This is the final leg of the journey to a fully built-in `git add`: the
`git add -i` and `git add -p` modes were re-implemented in C, but they
lacked support for a couple of config settings.

The one that sticks out most is the `interactive.singleKey` setting: it
was not only particularly hard to get to work, especially on Windows. It
is also the setting that seems to be incomplete already in the Perl
version: while the name suggests that it applies to the main loop of
`git add --interactive`, or to the file selections in that command, it
does not. Only the `git add --patch` mode respects that setting.

As it is outside the purpose of the conversion of
`git-add--interactive.perl` to C, we will leave that loose end for some
future date.

At this stage on the journey to a fully built-in `git add`, we already
have everything we need, including the `--interactive` and `--patch`
options, as long as the `add.interactive.useBuiltin` setting is set to
`true` (kind of a "turned off feature flag", which it will be for a
while, until we get confident enough that the built-in version does the
job, and retire the Perl script).

However, the internal `add--interactive` helper is also used to back the
`--patch` option of `git stash`, `git reset` and `git checkout`.

This patch series brings them "online".

Out of all the patch series on the journey to provide `git add
--interactive` and `git add --patch` in a built-in versions, this is the
big one, as can be expected from the fact that the `git add --patch`
functionality makes up over half of the 1,800+ lines of
`git-add--interactive.perl`.

The two patches that stick out are of course the ones to implement hunk
splitting and hunk editing: these operations are fundamentally more
complicated, and less obvious, than the rest of the operations.

While re-implementing `git add -i` and `git add -p` in C, I tried to
make sure that there is test coverage for all of the features I convert
from Perl to C, to give me some confidence in the correctness from
running the test suite both with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=true` and
with `GIT_TEST_ADD_I_USE_BUILTIN=false`.

However, I discovered that there are a couple of gaps. This patch series
intends to close them.

The first patch might actually not be considered a gap by some: it
basically removes the need for the `TTY` prerequisite in the `git add
-i` tests to verify that the output is colored all right. This change is
rather crucial for me, though: on Windows, where the conversion to a
built-in shows the most obvious benefits, there are no pseudo terminals
(yet), therefore `git.exe` cannot work with them (even if the MSYS2 Perl
interpreter used by Git for Windows knows about some sort of pty
emulation). And I *really* wanted to make sure that the colors work on
Windows, as I personally get a lot out of those color cues.

The patch series ends by addressing two issues that are not exactly
covering testing gaps:

- While adding a test case, I noticed that `git add -p` exited with
  *success* when it could not even generate a diff. This is so obviously
  wrong that I had to fix it right away (I noticed, actually, because my
  in-progress built-in `git add -p` failed, and the Perl version did
  not), and I used the same test case to verify that this is fixed once
  and for all.

- While working on covering those test gaps, I noticed a problem in an
  early version of the built-in version of `git add -p` where the `git
  apply --allow-overlap` mode failed to work properly, for little
  reason, and I fixed it real quick.

  It would seem that the `--allow-overlap` function is not only
  purposefully under-documented, but also purposefully under-tested,
  probably to discourage its use. I do not quite understand what I
  perceive to be Junio's aversion to that option, but I did not feel
  like I should put up a battle here, so I did not accompany this fix
  with a new test script.

  In the end, the built-in version of `git add -p` does not use the
  `--allow-overlap` function at all, anyway. Which should make everybody
  a lot happier.
