This brings substantial wins in performance because the FSCache is now
per-thread, being merged to the primary thread only at the end, so we do
not have to lock (except while merging).

Git for Windows supports the core.longPaths config setting to allow
writing/reading long paths via the \\?\ trick for a long time now.
However, for that support to work, it is absolutely necessary that
git_default_config() is given a chance to parse the config. Otherwise
Git will be non the wiser.
So let's make sure that as many commands that previously failed to
parse the core.* settings now do that, implicitly enabling long path
support in a lot more places.
Note: this is not a perfect solution, and it cannot be, as there is
a chicken-and-egg problem in reading the config itself...

This branch introduces support for reading the "Windows-wide" Git
configuration from `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config`. As these settings are
intended to be shared between *all* Git-related software, that config
file takes an even lower precedence than `$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig`.

These are Git for Windows' Git GUI and gitk patches. We will have to
decide at some point what to do about them, but that's a little lower
priority (as Git GUI seems to be unmaintained for the time being, and
the gitk maintainer keeps a very low profile on the Git mailing list,
too).

This is the branch thicket of patches in Git for Windows that are
considered ready for upstream. To keep them in a ready-to-submit shape,
they are kept as close to the beginning of the branch thicket as
possible.
Previously, we did not install any handler for Ctrl+C, but now we really
want to because the MSYS2 runtime learned the trick to call the
ConsoleCtrlHandler when Ctrl+C was pressed.
With this, hitting Ctrl+C while `git log` is running will only terminate
the Git process, but not the pager. This finally matches the behavior on
Linux and on macOS.

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.

Using FindFirstFileExW() requires the OS to allocate a 64K buffer for each
directory and then free it when we call FindClose(). Update fscache to call
the underlying kernel API NtQueryDirectoryFile so that we can do the buffer
management ourselves. That allows us to allocate a single buffer for the
lifetime of the cache and reuse it for each directory.
This change improves performance of 'git status' by 18% in a repo with ~200K
files and 30k folders.
Documentation for NtQueryDirectoryFile can be found at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/content/ntifs/nf-ntifs-ntquerydirectoryfilehttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/file-attribute-constantshttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/reparse-point-tags
To determine if the specified directory is a symbolic link, inspect the
FileAttributes member to see if the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT flag is
set. If so, EaSize will contain the reparse tag (this is a so far
undocumented feature, but confirmed by the NTFS developers). To
determine if the reparse point is a symbolic link (and not some other
form of reparse point), test whether the tag value equals the value
IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK.
The NtQueryDirectoryFile() call works best (and on Windows 8.1 and
earlier, it works *only*) with buffer sizes up to 64kB. Which is 32k
wide characters, so let's use that as our buffer size.

The TerminateProcess() function does not actually leave the child
processes any chance to perform any cleanup operations. This is bad
insofar as Git itself expects its signal handlers to run.
A symptom is e.g. a left-behind .lock file that would not be left behind
if the same operation was run, say, on Linux.
To remedy this situation, we use an obscure trick: we inject a thread
into the process that needs to be killed and to let that thread run the
ExitProcess() function with the desired exit status. Thanks J Wyman for
describing this trick.
The advantage is that the ExitProcess() function lets the atexit
handlers run. While this is still different from what Git expects (i.e.
running a signal handler), in practice Git sets up signal handlers and
atexit handlers that call the same code to clean up after itself.
In case that the gentle method to terminate the process failed, we still
fall back to calling TerminateProcess(), but in that case we now also
make sure that processes spawned by the spawned process are terminated;
TerminateProcess() does not give the spawned process a chance to do so
itself.
Please note that this change only affects how Git for Windows tries to
terminate processes spawned by Git's own executables. Third-party
software that *calls* Git and wants to terminate it *still* need to make
sure to imitate this gentle method, otherwise this patch will not have
any effect.

The Makefile target `install-mingit-test-artifacts` simply copies stuff
and things directly into a MinGit directory, including an init.bat
script to set everything up so that the tests can be run in a cmd
window.
Sadly, Git's test suite still relies on a Perl interpreter even if
compiled with NO_PERL=YesPlease. We punt for now, installing a small
script into /usr/bin/perl that hands off to an existing Perl of a Git
for Windows SDK.

In the BusyBox-w32 version that is currently under consideration for
MinGit for Windows (to reduce the .zip size, and to avoid problems with
the MSYS2 runtime), the UTF-16 environment present in Windows is
considered to be authoritative, and the 8-bit version is always in UTF-8
encoding.
As a consequence, the ISO-8859-1 test in t9350-fast-export (which tries
to set GIT_AUTHOR_NAME to a ISO-8859-1 encoded value) *must* fail in
that setup.
So let's detect when it would fail (due to an environment being purely
kept UTF-8 encoded), and skip that test in that case.

On Windows, the current working directory is pretty much guaranteed to
contain a colon. If we feed that path to CVS, it mistakes it for a
separator between host and port, though.
This has not been a problem so far because Git for Windows uses MSYS2's
Bash using a POSIX emulation layer that also pretends that the current
directory is a Unix path (at least as long as we're in a shell script).
However, that is rather limiting, as Git for Windows also explores other
ports of other Unix shells. One of those is BusyBox-w32's ash, which is
a native port (i.e. *not* using any POSIX emulation layer, and certainly
not emulating Unix paths).
So let's just detect if there is a colon in $PWD and punt in that case.

Git for Windows uses MSYS2's Bash to run the test suite, which comes
with benefits but also at a heavy price: on the plus side, MSYS2's
POSIX emulation layer allows us to continue pretending that we are on a
Unix system, e.g. use Unix paths instead of Windows ones, yet this is
bought at a rather noticeable performance penalty.
There *are* some more native ports of Unix shells out there, though,
most notably BusyBox-w32's ash. These native ports do not use any POSIX
emulation layer (or at most a *very* thin one, choosing to avoid
features such as fork() that are expensive to emulate on Windows), and
they use native Windows paths (usually with forward slashes instead of
backslashes, which is perfectly legal in almost all use cases).
And here comes the problem: with a $PWD looking like, say,
C:/git-sdk-64/usr/src/git/t/trash directory.t5813-proto-disable-ssh
Git's test scripts get quite a bit confused, as their assumptions have
been shattered. Not only does this path contain a colon (oh no!), it
also does not start with a slash.
This is a problem e.g. when constructing a URL as t5813 does it:
ssh://remote$PWD. Not only is it impossible to separate the "host" from
the path with a $PWD as above, even prefixing $PWD by a slash won't
work, as /C:/git-sdk-64/... is not a valid path.
As a workaround, detect when $PWD does not start with a slash on
Windows, and simply strip the drive prefix, using an obscure feature of
Windows paths: if an absolute Windows path starts with a slash, it is
implicitly prefixed by the drive prefix of the current directory. As we
are talking about the current directory here, anyway, that strategy
works.

When t5605 tries to verify that files are hardlinked (or that they are
not), it uses the `-links` option of the `find` utility.
BusyBox' implementation does not support that option, and BusyBox-w32's
lstat() does not even report the number of hard links correctly (for
performance reasons).
So let's just switch to a different method that actually works on
Windows.

While it may seem super convenient to some old Unix hands to simpy
require Perl to be available when running the test suite, this is a
major hassle on Windows, where we want to verify that Perl is not,
actually, required in a NO_PERL build.
As a super ugly workaround, we "install" a script into /usr/bin/perl
reading like this:
#!/bin/sh
# We'd much rather avoid requiring Perl altogether when testing
# an installed Git. Oh well, that's why we cannot have nice
# things.
exec c:/git-sdk-64/usr/bin/perl.exe "$@"
The problem with that is that BusyBox assumes that the #! line in a
script refers to an executable, not to a script. So when it encounters
the line #!/usr/bin/perl in t5532's proxy-get-cmd, it barfs.
Let's help this situation by simply executing the Perl script with the
"interpreter" specified explicitly.

BusyBox' unzip is working pretty well. But Git's tests want to abuse it
to not only extract files, but to convert their line endings on the fly,
too. BusyBox' unzip does not support that, and it would appear that
it would require rather intrusive changes.
So let's just work around this by skipping the test case that uses
`unzip -a` and the subsequent test cases expecting `unzip -a`'s output.

At some stage, t5003-archive-zip wants to add a file that is not ASCII.
To that end, it uses /bin/sh. But that file may actually not exist (it

we already have perfectly fine binary files intended for use solely by

Everybody and their dogs, cats and other pets settled on using unified
diffs. It is a really quaint holdover from a long-gone era that GNU diff
outputs "normal" diff by default.
Yet, t4124 relied on that mode.
This mode is so out of fashion in the meantime, though, that e.g.
BusyBox' diff decided not even to bother to support it. It only supports
unified diffs.
So let's just switch away from "normal" diffs and use unified diffs, as
we really are only interested in the `+` lines.

On Windows, it is impossible to create a file whose name contains a
quote character. We already excluded test cases using such files from
running on Windows when git.exe itself was tested.
However, we still had two test cases that try to create such a file, and
redirect stdin from such a file, respectively. This *seems* to work in
Git for Windows' Bash due to an obscure feature inherited from Cygwin:
illegal filename characters are simply mapped into/from a private UTF-8
page. Pure Win32 programs (such as git.exe) *still* cannot work with
those files, of course, but at least Unix shell scripts pretend to be
able to.
This entire strategy breaks down when switching to any Unix shell
lacking support for that private UTF-8 page trick, e.g. BusyBox-w32's
ash. So let's just exclude test cases that test whether the Unix shell
can redirect to/from files with "funny names" those from running on
Windows, too.

Since c6b0831c9c (docs: warn about possible '=' in clean/smudge filter
process values, 2016-12-03), t0021 writes out a file with quotes in its
name, and MSYS2's path conversion heuristics mistakes that to mean that
we are not talking about a path here.
Therefore, we need to use Windows paths, as the test-helper is a Win32
program that would otherwise have no idea where to look for the file.
