It is checked for w.r.t. global repository struct down in the callstack
in compatibility layer for MinGW before being assigned in the function
that `free()`'d it.
**This requires an ARM64-machine with Windows 11 installed (which
supports x64 emulation for MSYS2)**
### The main idea
- Use the main MSYS2/git-sdk-64 setup, which works on Windows 11 on ARM
thanks to x64-emulation
- Configure the official `clangarm64` MSYS2 repo
- Install `mingw-w64-clang-aarch64-toolchain` which contains the
ARM64-native Clang compiler
Add `FileVersion`, which is a required string ([Microsoft
documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/versioninfo-resource))
in the `StringFileInfo` block.
As not all required strings were present in the block, none were being
included.
Fixes#4090
After including the `FileVersion` string, all other defined strings are
now being included on executables.

I wasn't really expecting `GIT_VERSION` to contain the Git commit, I was
hoping for just `2.38.1` or `2.38.1.1`, at least for the `FileVersion`
string.
Anybody know if it's possible to concatenate the `MAJOR`, `MINOR`,
`MICRO`, and `PATCHLEVEL` fields with dots, or if there's another
variable that can be used (with or without `PATCHLEVEL`)?
Alternatively, use the complete `GIT_VERSION` for both `FileVersion` and
`ProductVersion`.
The first three commits are rebased versions of those in gitgitgadget/git#1215. These allow the following:
1. Fix `git config --global foo.bar <path>` from allowing the `<path>`. As a bonus, users with a config value starting with `/` will not get a warning about "old-style" paths needing a "`%(prefix)/`".
2. When in WSL, the path starts with `/` so it needs to be interpolated properly. Update the warning to include `%(prefix)/` to get the right value for WSL users. (This is specifically for using Git for Windows from Git Bash, but in a WSL directory.)
3. When using WSL, the ownership check fails and reports an error message. This is noisy, and happens even if the user has marked the path with `safe.directory`. Remove that error message.
Even if CMake is not the canonical way to build Git for Windows, but
CMake support merely exists in Git to support building Git for Windows
using Visual Studio, we should include `headless-git` in such a scenario
when installing the binaries to a given location.
This merges the current version of the patch that tries to address Git
GUI's problems with intent-to-add files.
This patch will likely be improved substantially before it is merged
into Git GUI's main branch, but we want to have _something_ resembling a
fix already in Git for Windows v2.29.0.

This topic branch allows `add -p` and `add -i` with a large number of
files. It is kind of a hack that was never really meant to be
upstreamed. Let's see if we can do better in the built-in `add -p`.

headless-git is a git executable without opening a console window. It is
useful when other GUI executables want to call git. We should install it
together with git on Windows.

Move the default `-ENTRY` and `-SUBSYSTEM` arguments for
MSVC=1 builds from `config.mak.uname` into `clink.pl`.
These args are constant for console-mode executables.
Add support to `clink.pl` for generating a Win32 GUI application
using the `-mwindows` argument (to match how GCC does it). This
changes the `-ENTRY` and `-SUBSYSTEM` arguments accordingly.

When building with `make MSVC=1 DEBUG=1`, link to `libexpatd.lib`
rather than `libexpat.lib`.
It appears that the `vcpkg` package for "libexpat" has changed and now
creates `libexpatd.lib` for debug mode builds. Previously, both debug
and release builds created a ".lib" with the same basename.

When we commit the template directory as part of `make vcxproj`, the
`branches/` directory is not actually commited, as it is empty.
Two tests were not prepared for that situation.
This developer tried to get rid of the support for `.git/branches/` a
long time ago, but that effort did not bear fruit, so the best we can do
is work around in these here tests.

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.
