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.

The fix we introduced in Git for Windows will be made obsolete by a more
general fix that has been already accepted into upstream Git's `next`
branch.
But we still can introduce a regression test that verifies that this bug
will be caught very quickly, if reintroduced.

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.

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

This topic branch adds the (experimental) --stdin/-z options to `git

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.

git-gui tries to temporary set GIT_DIR for starting gitk and restore
it back after they are started. But in case of GIT_DIR which was not set
prior to invocation it is not unset after it. This affects commands
which can be later started from that git gui, for example "Git Bash".

On Windows, UNC paths are a very convenient way to share data, and
alternates are all about sharing data.
We fixed a bug where alternates specifying UNC paths were not handled
properly, and it is high time that we add a regression test to ensure
that this bug is not reintroduced.

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%.
