9108652987 tests: use t/diff-lib/* consistently
The idea of copying README and COPYING into t/diff-lib/ was to step away
from using files from outside t/ in tests. Let's really make sure that
we use the files from t/diff-lib/ instead of other versions of those
files.

a2dd368ed0 test-tool: learn to act as a drop-in replacement for iconv
It is convenient to assume that everybody who wants to build & test Git
has access to a working `iconv` executable (after all, we already pretty
much require libiconv).

However, that limits esoteric test scenarios such as Git for Windows',
where an end user installation has to ship with `iconv` for the sole
purpose of being testable. That payload serves no other purpose.

So let's just have a test helper (to be able to test Git, the test
helpers have to be available, after all) to act as `iconv` replacement.

bdf6632288 tests: replace mingw_test_cmp with a helper in C
This helper is slightly more performant than the script with MSYS2's
Bash. And a lot more readable.

To accommodate t1050, which wants to compare files weighing in with 3MB
(falling outside of t1050's malloc limit of 1.5MB), we simply lift the
allocation limit by setting the environment variable GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT to
zero when calling the helper.

d27ce2cf8d test-lib: avoid unnecessary Perl invocation
It is a bit strange, and even undesirable, to require Perl just to run
the test suite even when NO_PERL was set.

This patch does not fix this problem by any stretch of imagination.
However, it fixes *the* Perl invocation that *every single* test script
has to run.

While at it, it makes the source code also more grep'able, as the code
that unsets some, but not all, GIT_* environment variables just became a
*lot* more explicit. And all that while still reducing the total number
of lines.

af4cc9a181 test-run-command: learn to run (parts of) the testsuite
Instead of relying on the presence of `make`, or `prove`, we might just
as well use our own facilities to run the test suite.

This helps e.g. when trying to verify a Git for Windows installation
without requiring to download a full Git for Windows SDK (which would use
up 600+ megabytes of bandwidth, and over a gigabyte of disk space).

Of course, it still requires the test helpers to be build *somewhere*,
and the Git version should at least roughly match the version from which
the test suite comes.

At the same time, this new way to run the test suite allows to validate
that a BusyBox-backed MinGit works as expected (verifying that BusyBox'
functionality is enough to at least pass the test suite).

76b61ab0ae mingw: spawned processes need to inherit only standard handles
By default, CreateProcess() does not inherit any open file handles,
unless the bInheritHandles parameter is set to TRUE. Which we do need to
set because we need to pass in stdin/stdout/stderr to talk to the child
processes. Sadly, this means that all file handles (unless marked via
O_NOINHERIT) are inherited.

This lead to problems in GVFS Git, where a long-running read-object hook
is used to hydrate missing objects, and depending on the circumstances,
might only be called *after* Git opened a file handle.

Ideally, we would not open files without O_NOINHERIT unless *really*
necessary (i.e. when we want to pass the opened file handle as standard
handle into a child process), but apparently it is all-too-easy to
introduce incorrect open() calls: this happened, and prevented updating
a file after the read-object hook was started because the hook still
held a handle on said file.

Happily, there is a solution: as described in the "Old New Thing"
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20111216-00/?p=8873 there
is a way, starting with Windows Vista, that lets us define precisely
which handles should be inherited by the child process.

And since we bumped the minimum Windows version for use with Git for
Windows to Vista with v2.10.1 (i.e. a *long* time ago), we can use this
method. So let's do exactly that.

We need to make sure that the list of handles to inherit does not
contain duplicates; Otherwise CreateProcessW() would fail with
ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

While at it, stop setting errno to ENOENT unless it really is the
correct value.

Also, fall back to not limiting handle inheritance under certain error
conditions (e.g. on Windows 7, which is a lot stricter in what handles
you can specify to limit to).

7159730efd mingw: demonstrate that all file handles are inherited by child processes
When spawning child processes, we really should be careful which file
handles we let them inherit.

This is doubly important on Windows, where we cannot rename, delete, or
modify files if there is still a file handle open.

Sadly, we have to guard this test inside #ifdef WIN32: we need to use
the value of the HANDLE directly, and that concept does not exist on
Linux/Unix.

6992a17117 mingw: support spawning programs containing spaces in their names
On some older Windows versions (e.g. Windows 7), 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.

We will abuse the test-fake-ssh.exe helper to verify that this works and
does not regress.

c29fd54d65 Unbreak interactive GPG prompt upon signing
With the recent update in efee955 (gpg-interface: check gpg signature
creation status, 2016-06-17), we ask GPG to send all status updates to
stderr, and then catch the stderr in an strbuf.

But GPG might fail, and send error messages to stderr. And we simply
do not show them to the user.

Even worse: this swallows any interactive prompt for a passphrase. And
detaches stderr from the tty so that the passphrase cannot be read.

So while the first problem could be fixed (by printing the captured
stderr upon error), the second problem cannot be easily fixed, and
presents a major regression.

So let's just revert commit efee9553a4.

f5df093fd4 Win32: support long paths
Windows paths are typically limited to MAX_PATH = 260 characters, even
though the underlying NTFS file system supports paths up to 32,767 chars.
This limitation is also evident in Windows Explorer, cmd.exe and many
other applications (including IDEs).

Particularly annoying is that most Windows APIs return bogus error codes
if a relative path only barely exceeds MAX_PATH in conjunction with the
current directory, e.g. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND / ENOENT instead of the
infinitely more helpful ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE / ENAMETOOLONG.

Many Windows wide char APIs support longer than MAX_PATH paths through the
file namespace prefix ('\\?\' or '\\?\UNC\') followed by an absolute path.
Notable exceptions include functions dealing with executables and the
current directory (CreateProcess, LoadLibrary, Get/SetCurrentDirectory) as
well as the entire shell API (ShellExecute, SHGetSpecialFolderPath...).

Introduce a handle_long_path function to check the length of a specified
path properly (and fail with ENAMETOOLONG), and to optionally expand long
paths using the '\\?\' file namespace prefix. Short paths will not be
modified, so we don't need to worry about device names (NUL, CON, AUX).

Contrary to MSDN docs, the GetFullPathNameW function doesn't seem to be
limited to MAX_PATH (at least not on Win7), so we can use it to do the
heavy lifting of the conversion (translate '/' to '\', eliminate '.' and
'..', and make an absolute path).

Add long path error checking to xutftowcs_path for APIs with hard MAX_PATH
limit.

Add a new MAX_LONG_PATH constant and xutftowcs_long_path function for APIs
that support long paths.

While improved error checking is always active, long paths support must be
explicitly enabled via 'core.longpaths' option. This is to prevent end
users to shoot themselves in the foot by checking out files that Windows
Explorer, cmd/bash or their favorite IDE cannot handle.

Test suite:
Test the case is when the full pathname length of a dir is close
to 260 (MAX_PATH).

	c:

There is currently a problem with that, in that mingw_mktemp() does not
expect the _wmktemp() function to prefix the absolute path with the
drive prefix, and as a consequence, the resulting path does not fit into
the originally-passed string buffer. The symptom is a "Result too large"
error.

Just like with other Git commands, this option makes it read the paths
from the standard input. It comes in handy when resetting many, many
paths at once and wildcards are not an option (e.g. when the paths are

Note: we first parse the entire list and perform the actual reset action
only in a second phase. Not only does this make things simpler, it also
helps performance, as do_diff_cache() traverses the index and the
(sorted) pathspecs in simultaneously to avoid unnecessary lookups.

4abf20f004 tests: fix unportable "\?" and "\+" regex syntax
Fix widely supported but non-POSIX basic regex syntax introduced in
[1] and [2]. On GNU, NetBSD and FreeBSD the following works:

    $ echo xy >f
    $ grep 'xy\?' f; echo $?
    xy
    0

The same goes for "\+". The "?" and "+" syntax is not in the BRE
syntax, just in ERE, but on some implementations it can be invoked by
prefixing the meta-operator with "\", but not on OpenBSD:

    $ uname -a
    OpenBSD obsd.my.domain 6.2 GENERIC#132 amd64
    $ grep --version
    grep version 0.9
    $ grep 'xy\?' f; echo $?
    1

Let's fix this by moving to ERE syntax instead, where "?" and "+" are
universally supported:

0539071b1e t5562: do not reuse output files
Some expected failures of git-http-backend leaves running its children
(receive-pack or upload-pack) which still hold opened descriptors
to act.err and with some probability they live long enough to write
there their failure messages after next test has already truncated
the files. This causes occasional failures of the test script.

Avoid the issue by using separated output and error file for each test,
apprending the test number to their name.

d5cfd142ec tests: teach the test-tool to generate NUL bytes and use it
In cc95bc2025 (t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from
generate_zero_bytes, 2019-02-09), we replaced usage of /dev/zero (which
is not available on NonStop, apparently) by a Perl script snippet to
generate NUL bytes.

Sadly, it does not seem to work on NonStop, as t5562 reportedly hangs.

Worse, this also hangs in the Ubuntu 16.04 agents of the CI builds on
Azure Pipelines: for some reason, the Perl script snippet that is run
via `generate_zero_bytes` in t5562's 'CONTENT_LENGTH overflow ssite_t'
test case tries to write out an infinite amount of NUL bytes unless a
broken pipe is encountered, that snippet never encounters the broken
pipe, and keeps going until the build times out.

Oddly enough, this does not reproduce on the Windows and macOS agents,
nor in a local Ubuntu 18.04.

This developer tried for a day to figure out the exact circumstances
under which this hang happens, to no avail, the details remain a
mystery.

In the end, though, what counts is that this here change incidentally
fixes that hang (maybe also on NonStop?). Even more positively, it gets
rid of yet another unnecessary Perl invocation.

7094175075 t5562: do not depend on /dev/zero
It was reported [1] that NonStop platform does not have /dev/zero.

The test uses /dev/zero as a dummy input. Passing case (http-backed
failed because of too big input size) should not be reading anything
from it. If http-backend would erroneously try to read any data
returning EOF probably would be even safer than providing some
meaningless data.

Replace /dev/zero with /dev/null to avoid issues with platforms which do
not have /dev/zero.

Revert cc95bc20 ("t5562: replace /dev/zero with a pipe from
generate_zero_bytes", 2019-02-09), as not feeding anything to the
command is a better way to test it.
