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.
File version information for `git.exe` has changed from:

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`.
Backport a couple fixes to make the CI build run again (so much for
reproducible builds...).

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

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.

These fixes were necessary for Sverre Rabbelier's remote-hg to work,
but for some magic reason they are not necessary for the current

In f9b7573f6b (repository: free fields before overwriting them,
2017-09-05), Git was taught to release memory before overwriting it, but
357a03ebe9 (repository.c: move env-related setup code back to
environment.c, 2018-03-03) changed the code so that it would not
_always_ be overwritten.
As a consequence, the `commondir` attribute would point to
already-free()d memory.
This seems not to cause problems in core Git, but there are add-on
patches in Git for Windows where the `commondir` attribute is
subsequently used and causing invalid memory accesses e.g. in setups
containing old-style submodules (i.e. the ones with a `.git` directory
within theirs worktrees) that have `commondir` configured.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/4083.

No GitHub-hosted ARM64 runners are available at the moment of writing,
but folks can leverage self-hosted runners of this architecture. This CI
pipeline comes in handy for forks of the git-for-windows/git project
that have such runners available. The pipeline can be kicked off
manually through a workflow_dispatch.

Newer compiler versions, like GCC 10 and Clang 12, have built-in
functions for bswap32 and bswap64. This comes in handy, for example,
when targeting CLANGARM64 on Windows, which would not be supported
without this logic.

Whith Windows 2000, Microsoft introduced a flag to the PE header to mark executables as
"terminal server aware". Windows terminal servers provide a redirected Windows directory and
redirected registry hives when launching legacy applications without this flag set. Since we
do not use any INI files in the Windows directory and don't write to the registry, we don't
need this additional preparation. Telling the OS that we don't need this should provide
slightly improved startup times in terminal server environments.
When building for supported Windows Versions with MSVC the /TSAWARE linker flag is
automatically set, but MinGW requires us to set the --tsaware flag manually.
This partially addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3935.
