In Git-for-Windows, work on using ARM64 has progressed. The
commit 2d94b77b27 (cmake: allow building for Windows/ARM64, 2020-12-04)
failed to notice that /compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat will default to
using the "x64-windows" architecture for the vcpkg installation if not set,
but CMake is not told of this default. Commit 635b6d99b3 (vcbuild: install
ARM64 dependencies when building ARM64 binaries, 2020-01-31) later updated
vcpkg_install.bat to accept an arch (%1) parameter, but retained the default.
This default is neccessary for the use case where the project directory is
opened directly in Visual Studio, which will find and build a CMakeLists.txt
file without any parameters, thus expecting use of the default setting.
Also Visual studio will generate internal .sln solution and .vcxproj project
files needed for some extension tools. Inform users of the additional
.sln/.vcxproj generation.
** How to test:
rm -rf '.vs' # remove old visual studio settings
rm -rf 'compat/vcbuild/vcpkg' # remove any vcpkg downloads
rm -rf 'contrib/buildsystems/out' # remove builds & CMake artifacts
with a fresh Visual Studio Community Edition, File>>Open>>(git *folder*)
to load the project (which will take some time!).
check for successful compilation.
The implicit .sln (etc.) are in the hidden .vs directory created by
Visual Studio.

Git's regular Makefile mentions that HOST_CPU should be defined when cross-compiling Git: 37796bca76/Makefile (L438-L439)
This is then used to set the GIT_HOST_CPU variable when compiling Git: 37796bca76/Makefile (L1337-L1341)
Then, when the user runs `git version --build-options`, it returns that value: 37796bca76/help.c (L658)
This commit adds the same functionality to the CMake configuration. Users can now set -DHOST_CPU= to set the target architecture.

The vcpkg_install batch file depends on the availability of a
working Git on the CMD path. This may not be present if the user
has selected the 'bash only' option during Git-for-Windows install.
Detect and tell the user about their lack of a working Git in the CMD
window.
Fixes#2348.

This topic branch extends the protections introduced for Git GUI's
CVE-2022-41953 to cover `gitk`, too.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Just like CVE-2022-41953 for Git GUI, there exists a vulnerability of
`gitk` where it looks for `taskkill.exe` in the current directory before
searching `PATH`.
Note that the many `exec git` calls are unaffected, due to an obscure
quirk in Tcl's `exec` function. Typically, `git.exe` lives next to
`wish.exe` (i.e. the program that is run to execute `gitk` or Git GUI)
in Git for Windows, and that is the saving grace for `git.exe because
`exec` searches the directory where `wish.exe` lives even before the
current directory, according to
https://www.tcl-lang.org/man/tcl/TclCmd/exec.htm#M24:
If a directory name was not specified as part of the application
name, the following directories are automatically searched in
order when attempting to locate the application:
The directory from which the Tcl executable was loaded.
The current directory.
The Windows 32-bit system directory.
The Windows home directory.
The directories listed in the path.
The same is not true, however, for `taskkill.exe`: it lives in the
Windows system directory (never mind the 32-bit, Tcl's documentation is
outdated on that point, it really means `C:\Windows\system32`).

By default, the buffer type of Windows' `stdout` is unbuffered (_IONBF),
and there is no need to manually fflush `stdout`.
But some programs, such as the Windows Filtering Platform driver
provided by the security software, may change the buffer type of
`stdout` to full buffering. This nees `fflush(stdout)` to be called
manually, otherwise there will be no output to `stdout`.

In 18c9cb7524 (builtin/clone: create the refdb with the correct object
format, 2023-12-12), we have changed git-clone(1) so that it delays
creation of the refdb until after it has learned about the remote's
object format. This change was required for the reftable backend, which
encodes the object format into the tables. So if we pre-initialized the
refdb with the default object format, but the remote uses a different
object format than that, then the resulting tables would have encoded
the wrong object format.
This change unfortunately breaks remote helpers which try to access the
repository that is about to be created. Because the refdb has not yet
been initialized at the point where we spawn the remote helper, we also
don't yet have "HEAD" or "refs/". Consequently, any Git commands ran by
the remote helper which try to access the repository would fail because
it cannot be discovered.
This is essentially a chicken-and-egg problem: we cannot initialize the
refdb because we don't know about the object format. But we cannot learn
about the object format because the remote helper may be unable to
access the partially-initialized repository.
Ideally, we would address this issue via capabilities. But the remote
helper protocol is not structured in a way that guarantees that the
capability announcement happens before the remote helper tries to access
the repository.
Instead, fix this issue by partially initializing the refdb up to the
point where it becomes discoverable by Git commands.
