MSYS2 inherits the trick from Cygwin to pretend that filenames can
contain characters that are illegal on Windows (by mapping them to a
private Unicode page). As long as we stay safely within the MSYS2 realm
(Bash, GNU make, Perl) that is fine, so technically this change is not
needed. But it is a lot more elegant not to rely on this.
Besides, the suffix `.new` is a lot more intuitive than the suffix
`+`...

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.

As suggested privately to Brendan Forster by some unnamed person
(suggestion for the future: use the public mailing list, or even the
public GitHub issue tracker, that is a much better place to offer such
suggestions), we should make use of gcc's stack smashing protector that
helps detect stack buffer overruns early.
Rather than using -fstack-protector, we use -fstack-protector-strong
because it strikes a better balance between how much code is affected
and the performance impact.
In a local test (time git log --grep=is -p), best of 5 timings went from
23.009s to 22.997s (i.e. the performance impact was *well* lost in the
noise).

On Windows >= Vista, not having an application manifest with a
requestedExecutionLevel can cause several kinds of confusing behavior.
The first and more obvious behavior is "Installer Detection", where
Windows sometimes decides (by looking at things like the file name and
even sequences of bytes within the executable) that an executable is an
installer and should run elevated (causing the well-known popup dialog
to appear). In Git's context, subcommands such as "git patch-id" or "git
update-index" fall prey to this behavior.
The second and more confusing behavior is "File Virtualization". It
means that when files are written without having write permission, it
does not fail (as expected), but they are instead redirected to
somewhere else. When the files are read, the original contents are
returned, though, not the ones that were just written somewhere else.
Even more confusing, not all write accesses are redirected; Trying to
write to write-protected .exe files, for example, will fail instead of
redirecting.
In addition to being unwanted behavior, File Virtualization causes
dramatic slowdowns in Git (see for instance
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=320).
There are two ways to prevent those two behaviors: Either you embed an
application manifest within all your executables, or you add an external
manifest (a file with the same name followed by .manifest) to all your
executables. Since Git's builtins are hardlinked (or copied), it is
simpler and more robust to embed a manifest.
A recent enough MSVC compiler should already embed a working internal
manifest, but for MinGW you have to do so by hand.
Very lightly tested on Wine, where like on Windows XP it should not make
any difference.

When running an external diff from, say, a diff tool, it is safe to
assume that we want to write the files in question. On Windows, that
means that there cannot be any other process holding an open handle to
said files.
So let's make sure that `git diff` itself is not holding any open handle
to the files in question.

For many Win32 functions, there actually exist two variants: one with
the `A` suffix that takes ANSI parameters (`char *` or `const char *`)
and one with the `W` suffix that takes Unicode parameters (`wchar_t *`

It is actually highly encouraged to use the Unicode versions, so let's

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.

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.

We frequently build Git using the `DEVELOPER=1` make setting as a
shortcut to enable all kinds of more stringent compiler warnings.
Those compiler warnings are relatively specific to GCC, though, so let's
try our best to translate them to the equivalent options to pass to MS
Visual C++'s `cl.exe`.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
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.

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.

To make things even more useful, we also generate and commit other files

Based on the previous patch series to be able to compile Git using
Visual C++ from the command-line, this patch offers to generate project
definitions for Visual Studio, so that Git can be developed in a modern
IDE.
Based on the generator for Visual Studio versions <= 2008 (which used
.sln/.vcproj files), this patch copy-edits the generator of the .vcproj
files to a new generator that produces .vcxproj files ready for Visual
Studio 2010 and later (or MSBuild).
As the vcpkg system (which is used to build Git's dependencies) cannot
run in parallel (it does not lock, wreaking havoc with files being
accessed and written at the same time, letting the vcpkg processes
stumble over each others' toes), we make libgit the root of the project
dependency tree and initialize the vcpkg system in this project's
