cad49734cf mingw: support spawning programs containing spaces in their names
The CreateProcessW() function does not really support spaces in its
first argument, lpApplicationName. But it supports passing NULL as
lpApplicationName, which makes it figure out the application from the
(possibly quoted) first argument of lpCommandLine.

Let's use that trick (if we are certain that the first argument matches
the executable's path) to support launching programs whose path contains
spaces.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issue/692

46e4ba043c Do not mask the username when reading credentials
When user is asked for credentials there is no need to mask username,
so PROMPT_ASKPASS flag on calling credential_ask_one for login is
unnecessary.

credential_ask_one internally uses git_prompt which in case of given
flag PROMPT_ASKPASS uses masked input method instead of
git_terminal_prompt, which does not mask user input.

This fixes #675

4745dfb9f3 t7300: git clean -dfx must show an error with long paths
In particular on Windows, where the default maximum path length is quite
small, but there are ways to circumvent that limit in many cases, it is
very important that users be given an indication why their command
failed because of too long paths when it did.

This test case makes sure that a warning is issued that would have
helped the user who reported Git for Windows' issue 521:

In Git for Windows' SDK, there is already a script to package Git for

2eaf583791 Enable DEP and ASLR
Enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and ASLR (Address Space Layout
Randomization) support. This applies to both 32bit and 64bit builds
and makes it substantially harder to exploit security holes in Git by
offering a much more unpredictable attack surface.

ASLR interferes with GDB's ability to set breakpoints. A similar issue
holds true when compiling with -O2 (in which case single-stepping is
messed up because GDB cannot map the code back to the original source
code properly). Therefore we simply enable ASLR only when an
optimization flag is present in the CFLAGS, using it as an indicator
that the developer does not want to debug in GDB anyway.

5d19668feb engine.pl: ignore invalidcontinue.obj which is known to MSVC
Commit 4b623d8 (MSVC: link in invalidcontinue.obj for better
POSIX compatibility, 2014-03-29) introduced invalidcontinue.obj
into the Makefile output, which was not parsed correctly by the
buildsystem. Ignore it, as it is known to Visual Studio and,
there is no matching source file.

Only substitute filenames ending with .o when generating the
source .c filename, otherwise a .cbj file may be expected.

Split the .o and .obj processing; 'make' does not produce .obj
files.

In the future there may be source files that produce .obj files
so keep the two issues (.obj files with & without source files)
separate.

485a19b530 msvc: work around iconv() not setting errno
When compiling with MSVC, we rely on NuPkgs to provide the binaries of
dependencies such as libiconv. The libiconv 1.14.0.11 package available
from https://www.nuget.org/packages/libiconv seems to have a bug where
it does not set errno (when we would expect it to be E2BIG).

Let's simulate the error condition by taking less than 16 bytes
remaining in the out buffer as an indicator that we ran out of space.
While 16 might seem a bit excessive (when converting from, say, any
encoding to UTF-8, 8 bytes should be fine), it is designed to be a safe
margin.

143d2aa5a2 msvc: define O_ACCMODE
This constant is not defined in MSVC's headers.

In UCRT's fcntl.h, _O_RDONLY, _O_WRONLY and _O_RDWR are defined as 0, 1
and 2, respectively. Yes, that means that UCRT breaks with the tradition
that O_RDWR == O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY.

It is a perfectly legal way to define those constants, though, therefore
we need to take care of defining O_ACCMODE accordingly.

This is particularly important in order to keep our "open() can set
errno to EISDIR" emulation working: it tests that (flags & O_ACCMODE) is
not identical to O_RDONLY before going on to test specifically whether
the file for which open() reported EACCES is, in fact, a directory.

37eeb8f3a1 msvc: add NuGet scripts for building with VS2015
This commit contains a GNU Makefile and NuGet configuration scripts to
download and install the various third-party libraries that we will need
to build/link with when using VS2015 to build Git.

The file "compat/vcbuild/README_VS2015.txt" contains instructions for
using this.

In this commit, "compat/vcbuild/Makefile" contains hard-coded version
numbers of the packages we require.  These are set to the current
versions as of the time of this commit.  We use "nuget restore" to
install them explicitly using a "package.config".  A future improvement
would try to use some of the automatic package management functions and
eliminate the need to specify exact versions.  I tried, but could not
get this to work.  NuGet was happy dowload "minimum requirements" rather
than "lastest" for dependencies -- and only look at one package at a
time.  For example, both curl and openssl depend upon zlib and have
different minimums.  It was unclear which version of zlib would be
installed and seemed to be dependent on the order of the top-level
packages.  So, I'm skipping that for now.

We need to be very precise when specifying NuGet package versions: while
nuget.exe auto-completes a version, say, 1.0.2 to 1.0.2.0, we will want
to parse packages.config ourselves, to generate the Visual Studio
solution, and there we need the exact version number to be able to
generate the exact path to the correct .targets file.

fac619325e 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".

ed6a4e11ad 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.

bdfd6ee4ae 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.

e1fb9b786e 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.

687a1c1a61 Win32: implement basic symlink() functionality (file symlinks only)
Implement symlink() that always creates file symlinks. Fails with ENOSYS
if symlinks are disabled or unsupported.

Note: CreateSymbolicLinkW() was introduced with symlink support in Windows
Vista. For compatibility with Windows XP, we need to load it dynamically
and fail gracefully if it isnt's available.

8726c0cd6b Win32: implement readlink()
Implement readlink() by reading NTFS reparse points. Works for symlinks
and directory junctions. If symlinks are disabled, fail with ENOSYS.

1aaa22f850 Win32: mingw_chdir: change to symlink-resolved directory
If symlinks are enabled, resolve all symlinks when changing directories,
as required by POSIX.

Note: Git's real_path() function bases its link resolution algorithm on
this property of chdir(). Unfortunately, the current directory on Windows
is limited to only MAX_PATH (260) characters. Therefore using symlinks and
long paths in combination may be problematic.

Note: GetFinalPathNameByHandleW() was introduced with symlink support in
Windows Vista. Thus, for compatibility with Windows XP, we need to load it
dynamically and behave gracefully if it isnt's available.
