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.

This topic branch allows us to skip the gettext initialization
when the locale directory does not even exist.
This saves 150ms out of 210ms for a simply `git version` call on
Windows, and it most likely will help scripts that call out to
`git.exe` hundreds of times.

We newly handle isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file
descriptors, caching the return value. However, we missed the case where
dup2() overrides the respective file descriptor.
That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very
early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the
return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently,
`cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should
happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and
consequently stdout should be left alone.
Let's override dup2() to handle this appropriately.

A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified
how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime
derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls
for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20).
An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.
One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.

Just like the workaround we added for t9116, t9001.83 hangs sometimes --
but not always! -- when being run in the Git for Windows SDK.
The issue seems to be related to redirection via a pipe, but it is really
hard to diagnose, what with git.exe (a non-MSYS2 program) calling a Perl
script (which is executed by an MSYS2 Perl), piping into another MSYS2
program.
As hunting time is scarce these days, simply work around this for now and
leave the real diagnosis and resolution for later.

Teach register_rename_src() to see if new file pair
can simply be appended to the rename_src[] array before
performing the binary search to find the proper insertion
point.
This is a performance optimization. This routine is called
during run_diff_files in status and the caller is iterating
over the sorted index, so we should expect to be able to
append in the normal case. The existing insert logic is
preserved so we don't have to assume that, but simply take
advantage of it if possible.

If the user has specified '--no-lock-index' when calling git-status, it only seems reasonable that the user intends that option to be carried through to any child forks/procs as well. Currently, the '--no-lock-status' call is lost when submodules are checked. This change places the desired option into the environment, which is in turn passed down to all subsequent children.
With cmd_status checking for '--no-lock--status' first from args then from environment, we're able to keep the option set in all children.

This fixes the compilation, actually, as we still did not make the jump to
post-Windows XP completely: we still compile with _WIN32_WINNT set to
0x0502 (which corresponds to Windows Server 2003 and is technically
greater than Windows XP's 0x0501).
However, GetTickCount64() is only available starting with Windows
Vista/Windows Server 2008.

This topic branch teaches the project generator to generate a Visual
Studio solution, ready to be opened in Visual Studio 2010 or later.
The idea, of course, is to let some automatic build job generate and
commit the project files with
make MSVC=1 vcxproj
and then (force-)push to a special-purpose branch.
The major part of this branch thicket concerns itself not only with
generating the Visual Studio project files, but making sure that the
user can then run the test suite from a regular Git Bash (i.e. *not*
requiring a Git for Windows SDK), e.g. by running
cd t
prove --timer --jobs 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh

When developing Git for Windows, we always have to ensure that we do not
break any non-Windows platforms, e.g. by introducing Windows-specific code
into the platform-independent source code.
At other times, it is necessary to test whether a bug is Windows-specific
or not, in order to send the bug report to the correct place. Having
access to a Linux-based Git comes in really handy in such a situation.
Vagrant offers a painless way to install and use a defined Linux
development environment on Windows (and other Operating Systems). We offer
a Vagrantfile to that end for two reasons:
1) To allow Windows users to gain the full power of Linux' Git
2) To offer users an easy path to verify that the issue they are about
to report is really a Windows-specific issue; otherwise they would
need to report it to git@vger.kernel.org instead.
Using it is easy: Download and install https://www.virtualbox.org/, then
download and install https://www.vagrantup.com/, then direct your
command-line window to the Git source directory containing the Vagrantfile
and run the commands:
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
See https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Vagrant for details.
As part of switching Git for Windows' development environment from msysGit
to the MSys2-based Git SDK, this Vagrantfile was copy-edited from msysGit:

When specifying an absolute path without a drive prefix, we convert that
path internally. Let's make sure that we handle that case properly, too

On Windows, there are several categories of absolute paths. One such
category starts with a backslash and is implicitly relative to the
drive associated with the current working directory. Example:
c:
git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W
should clone into C:\G4W.
There is currently a problem with that, in that mingw_mktemp() does not
expect the _wmktemp() function to prefix the absolute path with the
drive prefix, and as a consequence, the resulting path does not fit into
the originally-passed string buffer. The symptom is a "Result too large"
error.

Teach FSCACHE to remember "not found" directories.
This is a performance optimization.
FSCACHE is a performance optimization available for Windows. It
intercepts Posix-style lstat() calls into an in-memory directory
using FindFirst/FindNext. It improves performance on Windows by
catching the first lstat() call in a directory, using FindFirst/
FindNext to read the list of files (and attribute data) for the
entire directory into the cache, and short-cut subsequent lstat()
calls in the same directory. This gives a major performance
boost on Windows.
However, it does not remember "not found" directories. When STATUS
runs and there are missing directories, the lstat() interception
fails to find the parent directory and simply return ENOENT for the
file -- it does not remember that the FindFirst on the directory
failed. Thus subsequent lstat() calls in the same directory, each
re-attempt the FindFirst. This completely defeats any performance
gains.
This can be seen by doing a sparse-checkout on a large repo and
then doing a read-tree to reset the skip-worktree bits and then
running status.
This change reduced status times for my very large repo by 60%.

With the recent update in efee955 (gpg-interface: check gpg signature
creation status, 2016-06-17), we ask GPG to send all status updates to
stderr, and then catch the stderr in an strbuf.
But GPG might fail, and send error messages to stderr. And we simply
do not show them to the user.
Even worse: this swallows any interactive prompt for a passphrase. And
detaches stderr from the tty so that the passphrase cannot be read.
So while the first problem could be fixed (by printing the captured
stderr upon error), the second problem cannot be easily fixed, and
presents a major regression.
So let's just revert commit efee9553a4.

For regular debugging, it is pretty helpful when a debug assertion in a
running application triggers a window that offers to start the debugger.
However, when running the test suite, it is not so helpful, in
particular when the debug assertions are then suppressed anyway because
we disable the invalid parameter checking (via invalidcontinue.obj, see
the comment in config.mak.uname about that object for more information).
So let's simply disable that window in Debug Mode (it is already
disabled in Release Mode).
