There is a Win32 API function to resolve symbolic links, and we can use
that instead of resolving them manually. Even better, this function also
resolves NTFS junction points (which are somewhat similar to bind
mounts).
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2481.

NTFS junctions are somewhat similar in spirit to Unix bind mounts: they
point to a different directory and are resolved by the filesystem
driver. As such, they appear to `lstat()` as if they are directories,
not as if they are symbolic links.
_Any_ user can create junctions, while symbolic links can only be
created by non-administrators in Developer Mode on Windows 10. Hence
NTFS junctions are much more common "in the wild" than NTFS symbolic
links.
It was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2481
that adding files via an absolute path that traverses an NTFS junction:
since 1e64d18 (mingw: do resolve symlinks in `getcwd()`), we resolve not
only symbolic links but also NTFS junctions when determining the
absolute path of the current directory. The same is not true for `git
add <file>`, where symbolic links are resolved in `<file>`, but not NTFS
junctions.

This fix corrects an issue found in the `dockerized(pedantic, fedora)` CI
build, first appearing after the introduction of a new version of the Fedora
docker image version. This image includes a version of `glibc` with the
attribute `__attr_access_none` added to `pthread_getspecific` [1], the
implementation of which only exists for GCC 11.X - the version included in
the Fedora image. The attribute requires that the pointer provided in the
second argument of `pthread_getspecific` must, if not NULL, be a pointer to
a valid object. In the usage in `async_die_is_recursing`, `(void *)1` is not
valid, causing the error.
This fix imitates a workaround added in SELinux [2] by using the pointer to
`ret` as the second argument to `pthread_getspecific`. This guaranteed
non-NULL, valid pointer matches the intent of the current usage while not
triggering the build error.

baf8ec8d3a (rebase -r: don't write .git/MERGE_MSG when
fast-forwarding, 2021-08-20) stopped reading the author script in
run_git_commit() when rewording a commit. This is normally safe
because "git commit --amend" preserves the authorship. However if the
user passes "--committer-date-is-author-date" then we need to read the
author date from the author script when rewording. Fix this regression
by tightening the check for when it is safe to skip reading the author
script.

This reverts the change from ed49584 (dir: fix pattern matching on dirs,
2021-09-24), which claimed to fix a directory-matching problem without a
test case. It turns out to _create_ a bug, but it is a bit subtle.
The bug would have been revealed by the first of two tests being added to
t0008-ignores.sh. The first uses a pattern "/git/" inside the a/.gitignores
file, which matches against 'a/git/foo' but not 'a/git-foo/bar'. This test
would fail before the revert.
The second test shows what happens if the test instead uses a pattern "git/"
and this test passes both before and after the revert.
The difference in these two cases are due to how
last_matching_pattern_from_list() checks patterns both if they have the
PATTERN_FLAG_MUSTBEDIR and PATTERN_FLAG_NODIR flags. In the case of "git/",
the PATTERN_FLAG_NODIR is also provided, making the change in behavior in
match_pathname() not affect the end result of
last_matching_pattern_from_list().

allow for integrating into Git for Windows' `main` branch) that strikes

The `xutftowcs_path` function canonicalizes absolute paths using GetFullPathNameW.
This canonicalization may change the length of the string (e.g. getting rid of \.\),
which breaks callers that pass the template string in a strbuf and expect the
length of the string to remain the same.
In my particular case, the tmp-objdir code is passing a strbuf to mkdtemp and is
breaking since the strbuf.len is no longer synchronized with strlen(strbuf.buf).

the upstream Git project before we could propose `--stdin`.
We offered this in MinGit to applications that wanted a safer way to

Instead of `--stdin`, `--pathspec-from-file=-` should be used, and
instead of `-z`, `--pathspec-file-nul`.

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.

the Git process, but not the pager. This finally matches the behavior on

The Makefile target `install-mingit-test-artifacts` simply copies stuff

Sadly, Git's test suite still relies on a Perl interpreter even if

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.

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.
