Even if CMake is not the canonical way to build Git for Windows, but
CMake support merely exists in Git to support building Git for Windows
using Visual Studio, we should include `headless-git` in such a scenario
when installing the binaries to a given location.
This merges the current version of the patch that tries to address Git
GUI's problems with intent-to-add files.
This patch will likely be improved substantially before it is merged
into Git GUI's main branch, but we want to have _something_ resembling a
fix already in Git for Windows v2.29.0.

This topic branch allows `add -p` and `add -i` with a large number of

upstreamed. Let's see if we can do better in the built-in `add -p`.

This topic branch allows us to specify absolute paths without the drive
prefix e.g. when cloning.
Example:
C:\Users\me> git clone https://github.com/git/git \upstream-git
This will clone into a new directory C:\upstream-git, in line with how
Windows interprets absolute paths.

In 590e081dea7c (ident: add NO_GECOS_IN_PWENT for systems without
pw_gecos in struct passwd, 2011-05-19), code was introduced to iterate
over the `gw_gecos` field; The loop variable is of type `char *`, which
assumes that `gw_gecos` is writable.
However, it is not necessarily writable (and it is a bad idea to have it
writable in the first place), so let's switch the loop variable type to
`const char *`.

Move the default `-ENTRY` and `-SUBSYSTEM` arguments for
MSVC=1 builds from `config.mak.uname` into `clink.pl`.
These args are constant for console-mode executables.
Add support to `clink.pl` for generating a Win32 GUI application
using the `-mwindows` argument (to match how GCC does it). This

Internally, Git expects the environment variable `HOME` to be set, and
to point to the current user's home directory.
This environment variable is not set by default on Windows, and
therefore Git tries its best to construct one if it finds `HOME` unset.
There are actually two different approaches Git tries: first, it looks
at `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` because this is widely used in corporate
environments with roaming profiles, and a user generally wants their
global Git settings to be in a roaming profile.
Only when `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` is either unset or does not point to a
valid location, Git will fall back to using `USERPROFILE` instead.
However, starting with Windows Vista, for secondary logons and services,
the environment variables `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` point to Windows'
system directory (usually `C:\Windows\system32`).
That is undesirable, and that location is usually write-protected anyway.
So let's verify that the `HOMEDRIVE`/`HOMEPATH` combo does not point to
Windows' system directory before using it, falling back to `USERPROFILE`
if it does.
This fixes git-for-windows#2709

Git for Windows wants to add `git.exe` to the users' `PATH`, without
cluttering the latter with unnecessary executables such as `wish.exe`.
To that end, it invented the concept of its "Git wrapper", i.e. a tiny
executable located in `C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe` (originally a
CMD script) whose sole purpose is to set up a couple of environment
variables and then spawn the _actual_ `git.exe` (which nowadays lives in
`C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe` for 64-bit, and the obvious
equivalent for 32-bit installations).
Currently, the following environment variables are set unless already
initialized:
- `MSYSTEM`, to make sure that the MSYS2 Bash and the MSYS2 Perl
interpreter behave as expected, and
- `PLINK_PROTOCOL`, to force PuTTY's `plink.exe` to use the SSH
protocol instead of Telnet,
- `PATH`, to make sure that the `bin` folder in the user's home
directory, as well as the `/mingw64/bin` and the `/usr/bin`
directories are included. The trick here is that the `/mingw64/bin/`
and `/usr/bin/` directories are relative to the top-level installation
directory of Git for Windows (which the included Bash interprets as
`/`, i.e. as the MSYS pseudo root directory).
Using the absence of `MSYSTEM` as a tell-tale, we can detect in
`git.exe` whether these environment variables have been initialized
properly. Therefore we can call `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git`
in-place after this change, without having to call Git through the Git
wrapper.
Obviously, above-mentioned directories must be _prepended_ to the `PATH`
variable, otherwise we risk picking up executables from unrelated Git
installations. We do that by constructing the new `PATH` value from
scratch, appending `$HOME/bin` (if `HOME` is set), then the MSYS2 system
directories, and then appending the original `PATH`.
Side note: this modification of the `PATH` variable is independent of
the modification necessary to reach the executables and scripts in
`/mingw64/libexec/git-core/`, i.e. the `GIT_EXEC_PATH`. That
modification is still performed by Git, elsewhere, long after making the
changes described above.
While we _still_ cannot simply hard-link `mingw64\bin\git.exe` to `cmd`
(because the former depends on a couple of `.dll` files that are only in
`mingw64\bin`, i.e. calling `...\cmd\git.exe` would fail to load due to
missing dependencies), at least we can now avoid that extra process of
running the Git wrapper (which then has to wait for the spawned
`git.exe` to finish) by calling `...\mingw64\bin\git.exe` directly, via
its absolute path.
Testing this is in Git's test suite tricky: we set up a "new" MSYS
pseudo-root and copy the `git.exe` file into the appropriate location,
then verify that `MSYSTEM` is set properly, and also that the `PATH` is
modified so that scripts can be found in `$HOME/bin`, `/mingw64/bin/`
and `/usr/bin/`.

In Git for Windows, `has_symlinks` is set to 0 by default. Therefore, we
need to parse the config setting `core.symlinks` to know if it has been
set to `true`. In `git init`, we must do that before copying the
templates because they might contain symbolic links.
Even if the support for symbolic links on Windows has not made it to
upstream Git yet, we really should make sure that all the `core.*`
settings are parsed before proceeding, as they might very well change
the behavior of `git init` in a way the user intended.

Ensure key CMake option values are part of the CMake output to
facilitate user support when tool updates impact the wider CMake
actions, particularly ongoing 'improvements' in Visual Studio.
These CMake displays perform the same function as the build-options.txt
provided in the main Git for Windows. CMake is already chatty.
The setting of CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS is also reported.
Include the environment's CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS value which
may have been propogated to CMake's internal value.
Testing the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS processing can be difficult
in the Visual Studio environment, as it may be cached in many places.
The 'environment' may include the OS, the user shell, CMake's
own environment, along with the Visual Studio presets and caches.

In Git-for-Windows, work on using ARM64 has progressed. The
commit 2d94b77b27 (cmake: allow building for Windows/ARM64, 2020-12-04)
failed to notice that /compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat will default to
using the "x64-windows" architecture for the vcpkg installation if not set,
but CMake is not told of this default. Commit 635b6d99b3 (vcbuild: install
ARM64 dependencies when building ARM64 binaries, 2020-01-31) later updated
vcpkg_install.bat to accept an arch (%1) parameter, but retained the default.
This default is neccessary for the use case where the project directory is
opened directly in Visual Studio, which will find and build a CMakeLists.txt
file without any parameters, thus expecting use of the default setting.
Also Visual studio will generate internal .sln solution and .vcxproj project
files needed for some extension tools. Inform users of the additional
.sln/.vcxproj generation.
** How to test:
rm -rf '.vs' # remove old visual studio settings
rm -rf 'compat/vcbuild/vcpkg' # remove any vcpkg downloads
rm -rf 'contrib/buildsystems/out' # remove builds & CMake artifacts
with a fresh Visual Studio Community Edition, File>>Open>>(git *folder*)
to load the project (which will take some time!).
check for successful compilation.
The implicit .sln (etc.) are in the hidden .vs directory created by
Visual Studio.

part of the standard release of Git for Windows, its stability should be

`git subtree` tests in the CI workflow, these tests are as much of a gate to
merging and indicator of stability as the standard test suite.
