Create a built-in file system monitoring daemon that can be used by
the existing `fsmonitor` feature (protocol API and index extension)
to improve the performance of various Git commands, such as `status`.
The `fsmonitor--daemon` feature builds upon the `Simple IPC` API and
provides an alternative to hook access to existing fsmonitors such
as `watchman`.
This commit merely adds the new command without any functionality.

Use simple IPC to directly communicate with the new builtin file

Define a new config setting `core.useBuiltinFSMonitor` to enable the
builtin file system monitor.
The `core.fsmonitor` setting has already been defined as a HOOK
pathname. Historically, this has been set to a HOOK script that will
talk with Watchman. For compatibility reasons, we do not want to
overload that definition (and cause problems if users have multiple
versions of Git installed).

Add `command_len` argument to the Simple IPC API.
In my original Simple IPC API, I assumed that the request
would always be a null-terminated string of text characters.
The command arg was just a `const char *`.
I found a caller that would like to pass a binary command
to the daemon, so I want to ammend the Simple IPC API to
take `const char *command, size_t command_len` and pass
that to the daemon. (Really, the first arg should just be
a `void *` or `const unsigned byte *` to make that clearer.)
Note, the response side has always been a `struct strbuf`
which includes the buffer and length, so we already support
returning a binary answer. (Yes, it feels a little weird
returning a binary buffer in a `strbuf`, but it works.)

A recent change to make git-completion.bash use $__git_cmd_idx
in more places broke a number of completions on zsh because it
modified __git_main but did not update __git_zsh_main.
Notably, completions for "add", "branch", "mv" and "push" were
broken as a result of this change.
In addition to the undefined variable usage, "git mv <tab>" also
prints the following error:
__git_count_arguments:7: bad math expression:
operand expected at `"1"'
_git_mv:[:7: unknown condition: -gt
Remove the quotes around $__git_cmd_idx in __git_count_arguments
and set __git_cmd_idx=1 early in __git_zsh_main to fix the
regressions from 59d85a2a05.
This was tested on zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0).

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.

It was a bad idea to just remove that option from Git for Windows
v2.15.0, as early users of that (still experimental) option would have
been puzzled what they are supposed to do now.
So let's reintroduce the flag, but make sure to show the user good
advice how to fix this going forward.
We'll remove this option in a more orderly fashion when we're certain
that the option is no longer used (previous Visual Studio versions
relied on it).
The option is deprecated now, therefore we make sure that keeps saying
so until we finally remove it.

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.
Git for Windows introduced the `--no-lock-index` option a long time ago
to fix that (it made it into Git for Windows v2.9.2(3)) by simply
avoiding to write that file.
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.
Sadly, a competing approach was submitted (by somebody who apparently
has less work on their plate than this maintainer) that made it into
v2.15.0 but is *different*: instead of a `git status`-only option, it is
an option that comes *before* the Git command and is called differently,
too.
Let's give previous users a chance to upgrade to newer Git for Windows
versions by handling the `--no-lock-index` option, still, though with a
big fat warning.

Previously, we did not install any handler for Ctrl+C, but now we really
want to because the MSYS2 runtime learned the trick to call the
ConsoleCtrlHandler when Ctrl+C was pressed.
With this, hitting Ctrl+C while `git log` is running will only terminate
the Git process, but not the pager. This finally matches the behavior on
Linux and on macOS.

Sadly, Git's test suite still relies on a Perl interpreter even if
compiled with NO_PERL=YesPlease. We punt for now, installing a small
script into /usr/bin/perl that hands off to an existing Perl of a Git

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.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
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.

When t5605 tries to verify that files are hardlinked (or that they are
not), it uses the `-links` option of the `find` utility.
BusyBox' implementation does not support that option, and BusyBox-w32's
lstat() does not even report the number of hard links correctly (for
performance reasons).
So let's just switch to a different method that actually works on
Windows.
