These are Git for Windows' Git GUI and gitk patches. We will have to
decide at some point what to do about them, but that's a little lower
priority (as Git GUI seems to be unmaintained for the time being, and
the gitk maintainer keeps a very low profile on the Git mailing list,
too).

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.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/871

A ton of Git commands simply do not read (or at least parse) the core.*
settings. This is not good, as Git for Windows relies on the
core.longPaths setting to be read quite early on.
So let's just make sure that all commands read the config and give
platform_core_config() a chance.
This patch teaches tons of Git commands to respect the config setting
`core.longPaths = true`, including `pack-refs`, thereby fixing

To support Git Bash running in a MinTTY, we use a dirty trick to access
the MSYS2 pseudo terminal: we execute a Bash snippet that accesses
/dev/tty.
The idea was to fall back to writing to/reading from CONOUT$/CONIN$ if
that Bash call failed because Bash was not found.
However, we should fall back even in other error conditions, because we
have not successfully read the user input. Let's make it so.

Accessing the Windows console through the special CONIN$ / CONOUT$ devices
doesn't work properly for non-ASCII usernames an passwords.
It also doesn't work for terminal emulators that hide the native console
window (such as mintty), and 'TERM=xterm*' is not necessarily a reliable
indicator for such terminals.
The new shell_prompt() function, on the other hand, works fine for both
MSys1 and MSys2, in native console windows as well as mintty, and properly
supports Unicode. It just needs bash on the path (for 'read -s', which is
bash-specific).
On Windows, try to use the shell to read from the terminal. If that fails
with ENOENT (i.e. bash was not found), use CONIN/OUT as fallback.
Note: To test this, create a UTF-8 credential file with non-ASCII chars,
e.g. in git-bash: 'echo url=http://täst.com > cred.txt'. Then in git-cmd,
'git credential fill <cred.txt' works (shell version), while calling git
without the git-wrapper (i.e. 'mingw64\bin\git credential fill <cred.txt')
mangles non-ASCII chars in both console output and input.

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).

The `git_terminal_prompt()` function expects the terminal window to be
attached to a Win32 Console. However, this is not the case with terminal
windows other than `cmd.exe`'s, e.g. with MSys2's own `mintty`.
Non-cmd terminals such as `mintty` still have to have a Win32 Console
to be proper console programs, but have to hide the Win32 Console to
be able to provide more flexibility (such as being resizeable not only
vertically but also horizontally). By writing to that Win32 Console,
`git_terminal_prompt()` manages only to send the prompt to nowhere and
to wait for input from a Console to which the user has no access.
This commit introduces a function specifically to support `mintty` -- or
other terminals that are compatible with MSys2's `/dev/tty` emulation. We
use the `TERM` environment variable as an indicator for that: if the value
starts with "xterm" (such as `mintty`'s "xterm_256color"), we prefer to
let `xterm_prompt()` handle the user interaction.
The most prominent user of `git_terminal_prompt()` is certainly
`git-remote-https.exe`. It is an interesting use case because both
`stdin` and `stdout` are redirected when Git calls said executable, yet
it still wants to access the terminal.
When running inside a `mintty`, the terminal is not accessible to the
`git-remote-https.exe` program, though, because it is a MinGW program
and the `mintty` terminal is not backed by a Win32 console.
To solve that problem, we simply call out to the shell -- which is an
*MSys2* program and can therefore access `/dev/tty`.

When updating the skip-worktree bits in the index to align with new
values in a sparse-checkout file, Git scans the entire working
directory with lstat() calls. In a sparse-checkout, many of these
lstat() calls are for paths that do not exist.
Enable the fscache feature during this scan.
In a local test of a repo with ~2.2 million paths, updating the index
with `git read-tree -m -u HEAD` with a sparse-checkout file containing
only `/.gitattributes` improved from 2-3 minutes to 15-20 seconds.
More work could be done to stop running lstat() calls when recursing
into directories that are known to not exist.
This brings substantial wins in performance because the FSCache is now
per-thread, being merged to the primary thread only at the end, so we do
not have to lock (except while merging).

When using remotes (with git-flow especially), the remote reference names

where the window border seems to be only one (1) pixel wide, thus making

Assumes file names in git tree objects are UTF-8 encoded.
On most unix systems, the system encoding (and thus the TCL system
encoding) will be UTF-8, so file names will be displayed correctly.
On Windows, it is impossible to set the system encoding to UTF-8.
Changing the TCL system encoding (via 'encoding system ...', e.g. in the
startup code) is explicitly discouraged by the TCL docs.
Change gitk functions dealing with file names to always convert
from and to UTF-8.

Since v2.9.0, Git knows about the config variable core.hookspath
that allows overriding the path to the directory containing the
Git hooks.
Since v2.10.0, the `--git-path` option respects that config
variable, too, so we may just as well use that command.
For Git versions older than v2.5.0 (which was the first version to
support the `--git-path` option for the `rev-parse` command), we
simply fall back to the previous code.

"Question?" is maybe not the most informative thing to ask. In the
absence of better information, it is the best we can do, of course.
However, Git for Windows' auto updater just learned the trick to use
git-gui--askyesno to ask the user whether to update now or not. And in

Using FindFirstFileExW() requires the OS to allocate a 64K buffer for each
directory and then free it when we call FindClose(). Update fscache to call
the underlying kernel API NtQueryDirectoryFile so that we can do the buffer
management ourselves. That allows us to allocate a single buffer for the
lifetime of the cache and reuse it for each directory.
This change improves performance of 'git status' by 18% in a repo with ~200K
files and 30k folders.
Documentation for NtQueryDirectoryFile can be found at:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ddi/content/ntifs/nf-ntifs-ntquerydirectoryfilehttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/FileIO/file-attribute-constantshttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/reparse-point-tags
To determine if the specified directory is a symbolic link, inspect the
FileAttributes member to see if the FILE_ATTRIBUTE_REPARSE_POINT flag is
set. If so, EaSize will contain the reparse tag (this is a so far
undocumented feature, but confirmed by the NTFS developers). To
determine if the reparse point is a symbolic link (and not some other
form of reparse point), test whether the tag value equals the value
IO_REPARSE_TAG_SYMLINK.
The NtQueryDirectoryFile() call works best (and on Windows 8.1 and
earlier, it works *only*) with buffer sizes up to 64kB. Which is 32k
wide characters, so let's use that as our buffer size.
