This topic branch re-adds the deprecated --stdin/-z options to `git
reset`. Those patches were overridden by a different set of options in
the upstream Git project before we could propose `--stdin`.
We offered this in MinGit to applications that wanted a safer way to
pass lots of pathspecs to Git, and these applications will need to be
adjusted.
Instead of `--stdin`, `--pathspec-from-file=-` should be used, and
instead of `-z`, `--pathspec-file-nul`.

Rather than using private IFTTT Applets that send mails to this
maintainer whenever a new version of a Git for Windows component was
released, let's use the power of GitHub workflows to make this process
publicly visible.
This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a
new version was released.
Note: Bash sometimes releases multiple patched versions within a few
minutes of each other (i.e. 5.1p1 through 5.1p4, 5.0p15 and 5.0p16). The
MSYS2 runtime also has a similar system. We can address those patches as
a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.
Note further: We're not acting on newlib releases, OpenSSL alphas, Perl
release candidates or non-stable Perl releases. There's no need to open
issues about them.

The `--stdin` option was a well-established paradigm in other commands,
therefore we implemented it in `git reset` for use by Visual Studio.
Unfortunately, upstream Git decided that it is time to introduce
`--pathspec-from-file` instead.
To keep backwards-compatibility for some grace period, we therefore
reinstate the `--stdin` option on top of the `--pathspec-from-file`
option, but mark it firmly as deprecated.

In e3f7e01b50 (Revert "editor: save and reset terminal after calling
EDITOR", 2021-11-22), we reverted the commit wholesale where the
terminal state would be saved and restored before/after calling an
editor.
The reverted commit was intended to fix a problem with Windows Terminal
where simply calling `vi` would cause problems afterwards.
To fix the problem addressed by the revert, but _still_ keep the problem
with Windows Terminal fixed, let's revert the revert, with a twist: we
restrict the save/restore _specifically_ to the case where `vi` (or
`vim`) is called, and do not do the same for any other editor.
This should still catch the majority of the cases, and will bridge the
time until the original patch is re-done in a way that addresses all
concerns.

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 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.

On Windows, symbolic links have a type: a "file symlink" must point at
a file, and a "directory symlink" must point at a directory. If the
type of symlink does not match its target, it doesn't work.
Git does not record the type of symlink in the index or in a tree. On
checkout it'll guess the type, which only works if the target exists
at the time the symlink is created. This may often not be the case,
for example when the link points at a directory inside a submodule.
By specifying `symlink=file` or `symlink=dir` the user can specify what
type of symlink Git should create, so Git doesn't have to rely on
unreliable heuristics.

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.

On Windows, symbolic links actually have a type depending on the target:
it can be a file or a directory.
In certain circumstances, this poses problems, e.g. when a symbolic link
is supposed to point into a submodule that is not checked out, so there
is no way for Git to auto-detect the type.
To help with that, we will add support over the course of the next
commits to specify that symlink type via the Git attributes. This
requires an index_state, though, something that Git for Windows'
`symlink()` replacement cannot know about because the function signature
is defined by the POSIX standard and not ours to change.
So let's introduce a helper function to create symbolic links that
*does* know about the index_state.

When t5605 tries to verify that files are hardlinked (or that they are

performance reasons).

While it may seem super convenient to some old Unix hands to simpy
require Perl to be available when running the test suite, this is a
major hassle on Windows, where we want to verify that Perl is not,
actually, required in a NO_PERL build.
As a super ugly workaround, we "install" a script into /usr/bin/perl
reading like this:
#!/bin/sh
# We'd much rather avoid requiring Perl altogether when testing
# an installed Git. Oh well, that's why we cannot have nice
# things.
exec c:/git-sdk-64/usr/bin/perl.exe "$@"
The problem with that is that BusyBox assumes that the #! line in a
script refers to an executable, not to a script. So when it encounters
the line #!/usr/bin/perl in t5532's proxy-get-cmd, it barfs.
Let's help this situation by simply executing the Perl script with the
"interpreter" specified explicitly.
