032bfd6108 Merge pull request #3791: Various fixes around safe.directory
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.

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

"cygwin" because they have a more capable console system that supports

2903f0f8f3 compat/mingw.c: do not warn when failing to get owner
In the case of Git for Windows (say, in a Git Bash window) running in a
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) directory, the GetNamedSecurityInfoW()
call in is_path_owned_By_current_side() returns an error code other than
ERROR_SUCCESS. This is consistent behavior across this boundary.

In these cases, the owner would always be different because the WSL
owner is a different entity than the Windows user.

The change here is to suppress the error message that looks like this:

  error: failed to get owner for '//wsl.localhost/...' (1)

Before this change, this warning happens for every Git command,
regardless of whether the directory is marked with safe.directory.

8daa70071e hash-object: add a >4GB/LLP64 test case using filtered input
To verify that the `clean` side of the `clean`/`smudge` filter code is
correct with regards to LLP64 (read: to ensure that `size_t` is used
instead of `unsigned long`), here is a test case using a trivial filter,
specifically _not_ writing anything to the object store to limit the
scope of the test case.

As in previous commits, the `big` file from previous test cases is
reused if available, to save setup time, otherwise re-generated.

8d51b08c8c CMake: show Win32 and Generator_platform build-option values
Ensure key CMake option values are part of the CMake output to
facilitate user support when tool updates impact the wider CMake
actions, particularly ongoing 'improvements' in Visual Studio.

These CMake displays perform the same function as the build-options.txt
provided in the main Git for Windows. CMake is already chatty.
The setting of CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS is also reported.

Include the environment's CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS value which
may have been propogated to CMake's internal value.

Testing the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS processing can be difficult
in the Visual Studio environment, as it may be cached in many places.
The 'environment' may include the OS, the user shell, CMake's
own environment, along with the Visual Studio presets and caches.

See previous commit for arefacts that need removing for a clean test.

44158f53eb ci: run contrib/subtree tests in CI builds
Because `git subtree` (unlike most other `contrib` modules) is included as
part of the standard release of Git for Windows, its stability should be
verified as consistently as it is for the rest of git. By including the
`git subtree` tests in the CI workflow, these tests are as much of a gate to
merging and indicator of stability as the standard test suite.

client certificates.

c226356987 CMakeLists: add default "x64-windows" arch for Visual Studio
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.

64703aff86 hash-object --stdin: verify that it works with >4GB/LLP64
Just like the `hash-object --literally` code path, the `--stdin` code
path also needs to use `size_t` instead of `unsigned long` to represent
memory sizes, otherwise it would cause problems on platforms using the
LLP64 data model (such as Windows).

To limit the scope of the test case, the object is explicitly not
written to the object store, nor are any filters applied.

The `big` file from the previous test case is reused to save setup time;
To avoid relying on that side effect, it is generated if it does not
exist (e.g. when running via `sh t1007-*.sh --long --run=1,41`).

0571cfd531 hash algorithms: use size_t for section lengths
Continue walking the code path for the >4GB `hash-object --literally`
test to the hash algorithm step for LLP64 systems.

This patch lets the SHA1DC code use `size_t`, making it compatible with
LLP64 data models (as used e.g. by Windows).

The interested reader of this patch will note that we adjust the
signature of the `git_SHA1DCUpdate()` function without updating _any_
call site. This certainly puzzled at least one reviewer already, so here
is an explanation:

This function is never called directly, but always via the macro
`platform_SHA1_Update`, which is usually called via the macro
`git_SHA1_Update`. However, we never call `git_SHA1_Update()` directly
in `struct git_hash_algo`. Instead, we call `git_hash_sha1_update()`,
which is defined thusly:

    static void git_hash_sha1_update(git_hash_ctx *ctx,
                                     const void *data, size_t len)
    {
        git_SHA1_Update(&ctx->sha1, data, len);
    }

i.e. it contains an implicit downcast from `size_t` to `unsigned long`
(before this here patch). With this patch, there is no downcast anymore.

With this patch, finally, the t1007-hash-object.sh "files over 4GB hash
literally" test case is fixed.

26de923941 CMake: default Visual Studio generator has changed
Correct some wording and inform users regarding the Visual Studio
changes (from V16.6) to the default generator.

Subsequent commits ensure that Git for Windows can be directly
opened in modern Visual Studio without needing special configuration
of the CMakeLists settings.

It appeares that internally Visual Studio creates it's own version of the
.sln file (etc.) for extension tools that expect them.

The large number of references below document the shifting of Visual Studio
default and CMake setting options.

899f9d6f27 object-file.c: use size_t for header lengths
Continue walking the code path for the >4GB `hash-object --literally`
test. The `hash_object_file_literally()` function internally uses both
`hash_object_file()` and `write_object_file_prepare()`. Both function
signatures use `unsigned long` rather than `size_t` for the mem buffer
sizes. Use `size_t` instead, for LLP64 compatibility.

While at it, convert those function's object's header buffer length to
`size_t` for consistency. The value is already upcast to `uintmax_t` for
print format compatibility.

Note: The hash-object test still does not pass. A subsequent commit
continues to walk the call tree's lower level hash functions to identify
further fixes.

c82e9355ed hash-object: demonstrate a >4GB/LLP64 problem
On LLP64 systems, such as Windows, the size of `long`, `int`, etc. is
only 32 bits (for backward compatibility). Git's use of `unsigned long`
for file memory sizes in many places, rather than size_t, limits the
handling of large files on LLP64 systems (commonly given as `>4GB`).

Provide a minimum test for handling a >4GB file. The `hash-object`
command, with the  `--literally` and without `-w` option avoids
writing the object, either loose or packed. This avoids the code paths
hitting the `bigFileThreshold` config test code, the zlib code, and the
pack code.

Subsequent patches will walk the test's call chain, converting types to
`size_t` (which is larger in LLP64 data models) where appropriate.

ef185157bd compat/vcbuild: document preferred way to build in Visual Studio
We used to have that `make vcxproj` hack, but a hack it is. In the
meantime, we have a much cleaner solution: using CMake, either
explicitly, or even more conveniently via Visual Studio's built-in CMake
support (simply open Git's top-level directory via File>Open>Folder...).

Let's let the `README` reflect this.

b2c6a76d5e mingw: allow for longer paths in parse_interpreter()
As reported in https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/pull/225, it
looks like 99 bytes is not really sufficient to represent e.g. the full
path to Python when installed via Windows Store (and this path is used
in the hasb bang line when installing scripts via `pip`).

Let's increase it to what is probably the maximum sensible path size:
MAX_PATH. This makes `parse_interpreter()` in line with what
`lookup_prog()` handles.

e3da4eba9a cmake(): allow setting HOST_CPU for cross-compilation
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.

dffbc0ce66 git-gui: accommodate for intent-to-add files
As of Git v2.28.0, the diff for files staged via `git add -N` marks them
as new files. Git GUI was ill-prepared for that, and this patch teaches
Git GUI about them.

Please note that this will not even fix things with v2.28.0, as the
`rp/apply-cached-with-i-t-a` patches are required on Git's side, too.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2779

de9505d081 commit: accept "scissors" with CR/LF line endings
This change enhances `git commit --cleanup=scissors` by detecting
scissors lines ending in either LF (UNIX-style) or CR/LF (DOS-style).

Regression tests are included to specifically test for trailing
comments after a CR/LF-terminated scissors line.
