This is a brown paper bag. When adding the tests, we actually failed
to verify that the config variable is heeded in git-init at all. And
when changing the original patch that marked the .git/ directory as
hidden after reading the config, it was lost on this developer that
the new code would use the hide_dotfiles variable before the config
was read.
The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before*
creating the .git/ directory.

When a third-party tool periodically runs `git status` in order to keep
track of the state of the working tree, it is a bad idea to lock the
index: it might interfere with interactive commands executed by the
user, e.g. when the user wants to commit files.
Let's introduce the option `--no-lock-index` to prevent such problems.
The idea is that the third-party tool calls `git status` with this
option, preventing it from ever updating the index.
The downside is that the periodic `git status` calls will be a little
bit more wasteful because they may have to refresh the index repeatedly,
only to throw away the updates when it exits. This cannot really be
helped, though, as tools wanting to get a periodic update of the status
have no way to predict when the user may want to lock the index herself.
Note that the regression test added in this commit does not *really*
verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in
a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten *only*
when `git status` is run without `--no-lock-index`.

issue #790: git bundle create does not close handle to *.lock file
This problem happens when an user tries to create an empty bundle, using the
following command: `git bundle create <bundle> <revlist>` and when <revlist>
resolve to an empty list (for example, like `master..master`), `git bundle` fails
and warn the user about how it don't want to create empty bundle.
In that case, git tries to delete the `<bundle>.lock` file, and since there's still
an open file handle, fails to do so and ask the user if it should retry (which will
fail again).
The lock can still be deleted manually by the user (and it is required if the user
want to create a bundle after revising his rev-list).

When passing a command-line to call an external diff command to the

e.g. backslashes in the temporary directory's path on Windows.
This has been caught by running the test suite with an MSVC-built Git:
in contrast to the MINGW one, it does not rewrite `$TMP` to use forward

There is a really useful debugging technique developed by Sverre
Rabbelier that inserts "bash &&" somewhere in the test scripts, letting
the developer interact at given points with the current state.
Another debugging technique, used a lot by this here coder, is to run
certain executables via gdb by guarding a "gdb -args" call in
bin-wrappers/git.
Both techniques were disabled by 781f76b1(test-lib: redirect stdin of

Let's reinstate the ability to run an interactive shell by making the
redirection optional: setting the TEST_NO_REDIRECT environment variable
will skip the redirection.

Windows paths are typically limited to MAX_PATH = 260 characters, even
though the underlying NTFS file system supports paths up to 32,767 chars.
This limitation is also evident in Windows Explorer, cmd.exe and many
other applications (including IDEs).
Particularly annoying is that most Windows APIs return bogus error codes
if a relative path only barely exceeds MAX_PATH in conjunction with the
current directory, e.g. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND / ENOENT instead of the
infinitely more helpful ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE / ENAMETOOLONG.
Many Windows wide char APIs support longer than MAX_PATH paths through the
file namespace prefix ('\\?\' or '\\?\UNC\') followed by an absolute path.
Notable exceptions include functions dealing with executables and the
current directory (CreateProcess, LoadLibrary, Get/SetCurrentDirectory) as
well as the entire shell API (ShellExecute, SHGetSpecialFolderPath...).
Introduce a handle_long_path function to check the length of a specified
path properly (and fail with ENAMETOOLONG), and to optionally expand long
paths using the '\\?\' file namespace prefix. Short paths will not be
modified, so we don't need to worry about device names (NUL, CON, AUX).
Contrary to MSDN docs, the GetFullPathNameW function doesn't seem to be
limited to MAX_PATH (at least not on Win7), so we can use it to do the
heavy lifting of the conversion (translate '/' to '\', eliminate '.' and
'..', and make an absolute path).
Add long path error checking to xutftowcs_path for APIs with hard MAX_PATH
limit.
Add a new MAX_LONG_PATH constant and xutftowcs_long_path function for APIs
that support long paths.
While improved error checking is always active, long paths support must be
explicitly enabled via 'core.longpaths' option. This is to prevent end
users to shoot themselves in the foot by checking out files that Windows
Explorer, cmd/bash or their favorite IDE cannot handle.
Test suite:
Test the case is when the full pathname length of a dir is close
to 260 (MAX_PATH).

On Windows, file handles need to be marked inheritable when they need to
be used as standard input/output/error handles for a newly spawned
process. The problem with that, of course, is that the "inheritable" flag
is global and therefore can wreak havoc with highly multi-threaded
applications: other spawned processes will *also* inherit those file
handles, despite having *other* input/output/error handles, and never
close the former handles because they do not know about them.
Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and
friends) that point to files, or even better, named pipes and that are
used by the spawned Git process. This helps work around above-mentioned
issue: those named pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon
startup, and no handles are passed around.

On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"

not just the code to decide if the push destination is local. There

We normally try to avoid having two auto-gc operations run
at the same time, because it wastes resources. This was done
long ago in 64a99eb47 (gc: reject if another gc is running,
unless --force is given, 2013-08-08).
When we do a detached auto-gc, we run the ref-related
commands _before_ detaching, to avoid confusing lock
contention. This was done by 62aad1849 (gc --auto: do not
lock refs in the background, 2014-05-25).
These two features do not interact well. The pre-detach
operations are run before we check the gc.pid lock, meaning
that on a busy repository we may run many of them
concurrently. Ideally we'd take the lock before spawning any
operations, and hold it for the duration of the program.
This is tricky, though, with the way the pid-file interacts
with the daemonize() process. Other processes will check
that the pid recorded in the pid-file still exists. But
detaching causes us to fork and continue running under a
new pid. So if we take the lock before detaching, the
pid-file will have a bogus pid in it. We'd have to go back
and update it with the new pid after detaching. We'd also
have to play some tricks with the tempfile subsystem to
tweak the "owner" field, so that the parent process does not
clean it up on exit, but the child process does.
Instead, we can do something a bit simpler: take the lock
only for the duration of the pre-detach work, then detach,
then take it again for the post-detach work. Technically,
this means that the post-detach lock could lose to another
process doing pre-detach work. But in the long run this
works out.
That second process would then follow-up by doing
post-detach work. Unless it was in turn blocked by a third
process doing pre-detach work, and so on. This could in
theory go on indefinitely, as the pre-detach work does not
repack, and so need_to_gc() will continue to trigger. But
in each round we are racing between the pre- and post-detach
locks. Eventually, one of the post-detach locks will win the
race and complete the full gc. So in the worst case, we may
racily repeat the pre-detach work, but we would never do so
simultaneously (it would happen via a sequence of serialized
race-wins).
