3b0528117c Merge branch 'program-data-config'
This branch introduces support for reading the "Windows-wide" Git
configuration from `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config`. As these settings are
intended to be shared between *all* Git-related software, that config
file takes an even lower precedence than `$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig`.

5ebe2fe8b3 msvc: provide a main() wrapper similar to mingw_main()
The MINGW version of the main() wrapper gets away with declaring symbols
that were intentionally not exported. However, some of these symbols do
not actually exist in MSVC's UCRT.

So let's add an MSVC version of the main() wrapper that uses wmain() and
imports the UNICODE argv and environment. While at it, we pass our UTF-8
version of ARGV to the real main -- rather than overwriting __argv as is
done in the MINGW Version.

This adds MSVC versions of getenv() and friends. These take UTF-8
arguments and return UTF-8 values, but use the UNICODE versions

ef9f7a8b35 Remove support for XP specific config location
Current Git for Windows supports an additional configuration location
for system setting. On contemporary versionws of Windows this is
$PROGRAMDATA/Git/config. But XP does not know about $PRORGRAMDATA so
$ALLUSERSPROFILE/Application Data/Git/config was used.

XP itself is EOL for quite some time and Git for Windows ceased to
support it officially with version 2.10.0 (release 3 Sep 2016).

7413665b96 Windows: add support for a Windows-wide configuration
Between the libgit2 and the Git for Windows project, there has been a
discussion how we could share Git configuration to avoid duplication (or
worse: skew).

Earlier, libgit2 was nice enough to just re-use Git for Windows'

	C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig

but with the upcoming Git for Windows 2.x, there would be more paths to
search, as we will have 64-bit and 32-bit versions, and the
corresponding config files will be in %PROGRAMFILES%\Git\mingw64\etc and
...\mingw32\etc, respectively.

Worse: there are portable Git for Windows versions out there which live
in totally unrelated directories, still.

Therefore we came to a consensus to use `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` as the
location for shared Git settings that are of wider interest than just Git
for Windows.

On XP, there is no %PROGRAMDATA%, therefore we need to use
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Git\config" in those setups.

Of course, the configuration in `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config` has the
widest reach, therefore it must take the lowest precedence, i.e. Git for
Windows can still override settings in its `etc/gitconfig` file.

60886778a9 mingw: fix getcwd when the parent directory cannot be queried
`GetLongPathName()` function may fail when it is unable to query
the parent directory of a path component to determine the long name
for that component. It happens, because of it uses `FindFirstFile()`
function for each next short part of path. The `FindFirstFile()`
requires `List Directory` and `Synchronize` desired access for a calling
process.

In case of lacking such permission for some part of path,
the `GetLongPathName()` returns 0 as result and `GetLastError()`
returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.

`GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function can help in such cases, because
it requires `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize` desired access to the
target path only.

The `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function was introduced on
`Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista`. So we need to load it dynamically.

`CreateFile()` parameters:
    `lpFileName` = path to the current directory
    `dwDesiredAccess` = 0 (it means `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize`)
    `dwShareMode` = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE
                    (it prevents `Sharing Violation`)
    `lpSecurityAttributes` = NULL (default security attributes)
    `dwCreationDisposition` = OPEN_EXISTING
                              (required to obtain a directory handle)
    `dwFlagsAndAttributes` = FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS
                             (required to obtain a directory handle)
    `hTemplateFile` = NULL (when opening an existing file or directory,
                            `CreateFile` ignores this parameter)

The string that is returned by `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function
uses the \\?\ syntax. To skip the prefix and convert backslashes
to slashes, the `normalize_ntpath()` mingw function will be used.

Note: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function returns a final path.
It is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved.
For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to
"D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir".

09a0dbefc9 mingw: ensure getcwd() reports the correct case
When switching the current working directory, say, in PowerShell, it is
quite possible to use a different capitalization than the one that is
recorded on disk. While doing the same in `cmd.exe` adjusts the
capitalization magically, that does not happen in PowerShell so that
`getcwd()` returns the current directory in a different way than is
recorded on disk.

Typically this creates no problems except when you call

	git log .

in a subdirectory called, say, "GIT/" but you switched to "Git/" and
your `getcwd()` reports the latter, then Git won't understand that you
wanted to see the history as per the `GIT/` subdirectory but it thinks you
wanted to see the history of some directory that may have existed in the
past (but actually never did).

So let's be extra careful to adjust the capitalization of the current
directory before working with it.

Reported by a few PowerShell power users ;-)

9d1cee05f1 The stat() function should be independent of core.symlinks

> stat():  stats the file pointed to by path and fills in buf.
> lstat(): is identical to stat(), except that if path is a symbolic link,
>          then the link itself is stat-ed, not the file that it refers to.

stat() should always return the statistics of the file or directory a
symbolic link is pointing to. The lstat() function is used to get the
stats for the symlink. Hence the check should not be there.

3db81ccd7a mingw: keep trailing slashes for _wchdir() and readlink()
This is needed so that `_wchdir()` can be used with drive root
directories, e.g. C:\ (`_wchdir("C:")` fails to switch the directory
to the root directory).

This fixes https://github.com/msysgit/git/issues/359 (in Git for Windows
2.x only, though).

Likewise, `readlink()`'s semantics require a trailing slash for symbolic
links pointing to directories. Otherwise all checked out symbolic links
pointing to directories would be marked as modified even directly after a
fresh clone.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/210

9f6b33d345 Win32: symlink: add support for symlinks to directories
Symlinks on Windows have a flag that indicates whether the target is a file
or a directory. Symlinks of wrong type simply don't work. This even affects
core Win32 APIs (e.g. DeleteFile() refuses to delete directory symlinks).

However, CreateFile() with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS doesn't seem to care.
Check the target type by first creating a tentative file symlink, opening
it, and checking the type of the resulting handle. If it is a directory,
recreate the symlink with the directory flag set.

It is possible to create symlinks before the target exists (or in case of
symlinks to symlinks: before the target type is known). If this happens,
create a tentative file symlink and postpone the directory decision: keep
a list of phantom symlinks to be processed whenever a new directory is
created in mingw_mkdir().

Limitations: This algorithm may fail if a link target changes from file to
directory or vice versa, or if the target directory is created in another
process.

Note: Git's real_path() function bases its link resolution algorithm on

long paths in combination may be problematic.

Windows Vista. Thus, for compatibility with Windows XP, we need to load it

1a91db6c6d Win32: change default of 'core.symlinks' to false
Symlinks on Windows don't work the same way as on Unix systems. E.g. there
are different types of symlinks for directories and files, creating
symlinks requires administrative privileges etc.

By default, disable symlink support on Windows. I.e. users explicitly have
to enable it with 'git config [--system|--global] core.symlinks true'.

The test suite ignores system / global config files. Allow testing *with*
symlink support by checking if native symlinks are enabled in MSys2 (via
'MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict').

Reminder: This would need to be changed if / when we find a way to run the
test suite in a non-MSys-based shell (e.g. dash).

415aeeb74f Win32: factor out retry logic

hard to use: mingw_unlink() and mingw_rmdir() duplicate the code to retry,

small delay, asking the user, and restoring errno.

file is locked exclusively).

c1b6a62b28 Win32: let mingw_lstat() error early upon problems with reparse points
When obtaining lstat information for reparse points, we need to call
FindFirstFile() in addition to GetFileInformationEx() to obtain the type
of the reparse point (symlink, mount point etc.). However, currently there
is no error handling whatsoever if FindFirstFile() fails.

Call FindFirstFile() before modifying the stat *buf output parameter and
error out if the call fails.

Note: The FindFirstFile() return value includes all the data that we get
from GetFileAttributesEx(), so we could replace GetFileAttributesEx() with
FindFirstFile(). We don't do that because GetFileAttributesEx() is about
twice as fast for single files. I.e. we only pay the extra cost of calling
FindFirstFile() in the rare case that we encounter a reparse point.

Note: The indentation of the remaining reparse point code will be fixed in
the next patch.

fba5e48451 Fix launching of externals from Unicode paths
If Git were installed in a path containing non-ASCII characters,

> fatal: 'am' appears to be a git command, but we were not

This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow
missed in 2ee5a1a14a.

Note that the only problem in this function was calling
GetFileAttributes instead of GetFileAttributesW. The calls to access()
were fine because access() is a macro which resolves to mingw_access,
which already handles Unicode correctly. But I changed lookup_prog to
use _waccess directly so that we only convert the path to UTF-16 once.

90cb1ff558 mingw: HOT FIX: work around environment issues -- again
This developer should really, really have known better. The fact that we
are changing the environment in ways for which the MSVCRT is not
prepared for is bad enough. But then this developer followed the request
to re-enable nedmalloc -- despite the prediction that it would cause an
access violation, predicting it in the same message as the request to
re-enable nedmalloc, no less!

To paper over the issue until the time when this developer finds the
time to re-design the Unicode environment handling from scratch, let's
hope that cURL is the only library we are using that *may* set an
environment variable using MSVCRT's putenv() after we fscked the
environment up.

Note: this commit can serve as no source of pride to anyone, certainly
not yours truly. It is necessary as a quick and pragmatic stop gap,
though, to prevent worse problems.

Note: cURL manages to set the variable CHARSET when nedmalloc is *not*
enabled, without causing an access violation. In that case, it sets it

25d3cea6fe mingw: be *very* wary about outside environment changes
The environment is modified in most surprising circumstances, and not
all of them are under Git's control. For example, calling
curl_global_init() on Windows will ensure that the CHARSET variable is
set, adding one if necessary.

While the previous commit worked around crashes triggered by such
outside changes of the environment by relaxing the requirement that the
environment be terminated by a NULL pointer, the other assumption made
by `mingw_getenv()` and `mingw_putenv()` is that the environment is
sorted, for efficient lookup via binary search.

Let's make real sure that our environment is intact before querying or
modifying it, and reinitialize our idea of the environment if necessary.

With this commit, before working on the environment we look briefly for
indicators that the environment was modified outside of our control, and
to ensure that it is terminated with a NULL pointer and sorted again in
that case.

Note: the indicators are maybe not sufficient. For example, when a
variable is removed, it will not be noticed. It might also be a problem
if outside changes to the environment result in a modified `environ`
pointer: it is unclear whether such a modification could result in a
problem when `mingw_putenv()` needs to `realloc()` the environment
buffer.

For the moment, however, the current fix works well enough, so let's
only face the potential problems when (and if!) they occur.

9e4782f407 mingw: be more defensive when making the environment block
Outside of our Windows-specific code, the end of the environment can be
marked also by a pointer to a NUL character, not only by a NULL pointer
as our code assumed so far.

That led to a buffer overrun in `make_environment_block()` when running
`git-remote-https` in `mintty` (because `curl_global_init()` added the
`CHARSET` environment variable *outside* of `mingw_putenv()`, ending the
environment in a pointer to an empty string).

Side note for future debugging on Windows: when running programs in
`mintty`, the standard input/output/error is not connected to a Win32
Console, but instead is pipe()d. That means that even stderr may not be
written completely before a crash, but has to be fflush()ed explicitly.
For example, when debugging crashes, the developer should insert an
`fflush(stderr);` at the end of the `error()` function defined in
usage.c.

af025d6d09 UTF-8 environment: be a little bit more defensive
It is unlikely that we have an empty environment, ever, but *if* we do,
when `environ_size - 1` is passed to `bsearchenv()` it is misinterpreted
as a real large integer.

To make the code truly defensive, refuse to do anything at all if the
size is negative (which should not happen, of course).

c8f25929dc Help debugging with MSys2 by optionally executing bash with strace
MSys2's strace facility is very useful for debugging... With this patch,
the bash will be executed through strace if the environment variable
GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS is set, which comes in real handy when investigating
issues in the test suite.

Also support passing a path to a log file via GIT_STRACE_COMMANDS to
force Git to call strace.exe with the `-o <path>` argument, i.e. to log
into a file rather than print the log directly.

That comes in handy when the output would otherwise misinterpreted by a
calling process as part of Git's output.

Note: the values "1", "yes" or "true" are *not* specifying paths, but
tell Git to let strace.exe log directly to the console.
