0b89bb97f4 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.

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

a956bedc1f mingw: respect core.hidedotfiles = false in git-init again
This is a brown paper bag. When adding the tests, we actually failed
to verify that the config variable is heeded in git-init at all. And
when changing the original patch that marked the .git/ directory as
hidden after reading the config, it was lost on this developer that
the new code would use the hide_dotfiles variable before the config
was read.

The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before*
creating the .git/ directory.

e74b4abda3 status: offer *not* to lock the index and update it
When a third-party tool periodically runs `git status` in order to keep
track of the state of the working tree, it is a bad idea to lock the
index: it might interfere with interactive commands executed by the
user, e.g. when the user wants to commit files.

Let's introduce the option `--no-lock-index` to prevent such problems.
The idea is that the third-party tool calls `git status` with this
option, preventing it from ever updating the index.

The downside is that the periodic `git status` calls will be a little
bit more wasteful because they may have to refresh the index repeatedly,
only to throw away the updates when it exits. This cannot really be
helped, though, as tools wanting to get a periodic update of the status
have no way to predict when the user may want to lock the index herself.

Note that the regression test added in this commit does not *really*
verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in
a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten *only*
when `git status` is run without `--no-lock-index`.

8f7b857d7f git bundle create <bundle> leaks handle the revlist is empty.
issue #790: git bundle create does not close handle to *.lock file

This problem happens when an user tries to create an empty bundle, using the
following command:  `git bundle create <bundle> <revlist>` and when <revlist>
resolve to an empty list (for example, like `master..master`), `git bundle` fails
and warn the user about how it don't want to create empty bundle.

In that case, git tries to delete the `<bundle>.lock` file, and since there's still
an open file handle, fails to do so and ask the user if it should retry (which will
fail again).

The lock can still be deleted manually by the user (and it is required if the user
want to create a bundle after revising his rev-list).

c07480038d Tests: optionally skip redirecting stdin/stdout/stderr
There is a really useful debugging technique developed by Sverre
Rabbelier that inserts "bash &&" somewhere in the test scripts, letting
the developer interact at given points with the current state.

Another debugging technique, used a lot by this here coder, is to run
certain executables via gdb by guarding a "gdb -args" call in
bin-wrappers/git.

Both techniques were disabled by 781f76b1(test-lib: redirect stdin of
tests).

Let's reinstate the ability to run an interactive shell by making the
redirection optional: setting the TEST_NO_REDIRECT environment variable
will skip the redirection.

629471e2e1 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).
Bug report and an original reproducer by Andrey Rogozhnikov:
https://github.com/msysgit/git/pull/122#issuecomment-43604199

Note that the test cannot rely on the presence of short names, as they
are not enabled by default except on the system drive.

195669091b cat-file --textconv/--filters: allow specifying the path separately
There are circumstances when it is relatively easy to figure out the
object name for a given path, but not the name of the containing tree.
For example, when looking at a diff generated by Git, the object names
are recorded, but not the revision. As a matter of fact, the revisions
from which the diff was generated may not even exist locally.

In such a case, the user would have to generate a fake revision just to
be able to use --textconv or --filters.

Let's simplify this dramatically, because we do not really need that
revision at all: all we care about is that we know the path. In the
scenario described above, we do know the path, and we just want to
specify it separately from the object name.

Example usage:

	git cat-file --textconv --path=main.c 0f1937fd

d60360c757 Use the newly-introduced regexec_buf() function
The new regexec_buf() function operates on buffers with an explicitly
specified length, rather than NUL-terminated strings.

We need to use this function whenever the buffer we want to pass to
regexec() may have been mmap()ed (and is hence not NUL-terminated).

Note: the original motivation for this patch was to fix a bug where
`git diff -G <regex>` would crash. This patch converts more callers,
though, some of which explicitly allocated and constructed
NUL-terminated strings (or worse: modified read-only buffers to insert
NULs).

Some of the buffers actually may be NUL-terminated. As regexec_buf()
uses REG_STARTEND where available, but has to fall back to allocating
and constructing NUL-terminated strings where REG_STARTEND is not
available, this makes the code less efficient in the latter case.

However, given the widespread support for REG_STARTEND, combined with
the improved ease of code maintenance, we strike the balance in favor
of REG_STARTEND.

6bbbcb36b9 Demonstrate a problem: our pickaxe code assumes NUL-terminated buffers
When our pickaxe code feeds file contents to regexec(), it implicitly
assumes that the file contents are read into implicitly NUL-terminated
buffers (i.e. that we overallocate by 1, appending a single '\0').

This is not so.

In particular when the file contents are simply mmap()ed, we can be
virtually certain that the buffer is preceding uninitialized bytes, or
invalid pages.

Note that the test we add here is known to be flakey: we simply cannot
know whether the byte following the mmap()ed ones is a NUL or not.

Typically, on Linux the test passes. On Windows, it fails virtually
every time due to an access violation (that's a segmentation fault for
you Unix-y people out there). And Windows would be correct: the
regexec() call wants to operate on a regular, NUL-terminated string,
there is no NUL in the mmap()ed memory range, and it is undefined
whether the next byte is even legal to access.

When run with --valgrind it demonstrates quite clearly the breakage, of
course.

Being marked with `test_expect_failure`, this test will sometimes be
declare "TODO fixed", even if it only passes by mistake.

This test case represents a Minimal, Complete and Verifiable Example of
a breakage reported by Chris Sidi.

60ac5c2945 rebase -i: rearrange fixup/squash lines using the rebase--helper
This operation has quadratic complexity, which is especially painful
on Windows, where shell scripts are *already* slow (mainly due to the
overhead of the POSIX emulation layer).

Let's reimplement this with linear complexity (using a hash map to
match the commits' subject lines) for the common case; Sadly, the
fixup/squash feature's design neglected performance considerations,
allowing arbitrary prefixes (read: `fixup! hell` will match the
commit subject `hello world`), which means that we are stuck with
quadratic performance in the worst case.

The reimplemented logic also happens to fix a bug where commented-out
lines (representing empty patches) were dropped by the previous code.

bc6b13a7d2 blame: fix segfault on untracked files
Since 3b75ee9 ("blame: allow to blame paths freshly added to the index",
2016-07-16) git blame also looks at the index to determine if there is a
file that was freshly added to the index.

cache_name_pos returns -pos - 1 in case there is no match is found, or
if the name matches, but the entry has a stage other than 0.  As git
blame should work for unmerged files, it uses strcmp to determine
whether the name of the returned position matches, in which case the
file exists, but is merely unmerged, or if the file actually doesn't
exist in the index.

If the repository is empty, or if the file would lexicographically be
sorted as the last file in the repository, -cache_name_pos - 1 is
outside of the length of the active_cache array, causing git blame to
segfault.  Guard against that, and die() normally to restore the old
behaviour.

subprocess has not exited when the attempt to remove or rename is
made, the last step fails on Windows, because the subprocess has
the file descriptor still open.  Open tempfile with O_CLOEXEC flag
to avoid this (on Windows, this is mapped to O_NOINHERIT).

05d1ed6148 mingw: ensure temporary file handles are not inherited by child processes
When the index is locked and child processes inherit the handle to
said lock and the parent process wants to remove the lock before the
child process exits, on Windows there is a problem: it won't work
because files cannot be deleted if a process holds a handle on them.
The symptom:

    Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed.
    Should I try again? (y/n)

Spawning child processes with bInheritHandles==FALSE would not work
because no file handles would be inherited, not even the hStdXxx
handles in STARTUPINFO (stdin/stdout/stderr).

Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work, either, as e.g.
git-upload-pack expects inherited file handles.

This leaves us with the only way out: creating temp files with the
O_NOINHERIT flag. This flag is Windows-specific, however. For our
purposes, it is equivalent to O_CLOEXEC (which does not exist on
Windows), so let's just open temporary files with the O_CLOEXEC flag and
map that flag to O_NOINHERIT on Windows.

As Eric Wong pointed out, we need to be careful to handle the case where
the Linux headers used to compile Git support O_CLOEXEC but the Linux
kernel used to run Git does not: it returns an EINVAL.

This fixes the test that we just introduced to demonstrate the problem.

331f06d6f1 Merge branch 'jk/difftool-command-not-found'
"git difftool" by default ignores the error exit from the backend
commands it spawns, because often they signal that they found
differences by exiting with a non-zero status code just like "diff"
does; the exit status codes 126 and above however are special in
that they are used to signal that the command is not executable,
does not exist, or killed by a signal.  "git difftool" has been
taught to notice these exit status codes.

ad65f7e3b7 t6026-merge-attr: child processes must not inherit index.lock handles
On Windows, a file cannot be removed unless all file handles to it have
been released. Hence it is particularly important to close handles when
spawning children (which would probably not even know that they hold on
to those handles).

The example chosen for this test is a custom merge driver that indeed
has no idea that it blocks the deletion of index.lock. The full use case
is a daemon that lives on after the merge, with subsequent invocations
handing off to the daemon, thereby avoiding hefty start-up costs. We
simulate this behavior by simply sleeping one second.

Note that the test only fails on Windows, due to the file locking issue.
Since we have no way to say "expect failure with MINGW, success
otherwise", we simply skip this test on Windows for now.
