In general "echo 2>&1 $msg" to redirect a possible error message
that comes from 'echo' itself into the same standard output stream
$msg is getting written to does not make any sense; it is not like
we are expecting to see any errors out of 'echo' in these statements,
and even if it were the case, there is no reason to prevent the
error messages from being sent to the standard error stream.
These are clearly meant to send the argument given to echo to the
standard error stream as error messages. Correctly redirect by
saying "send what is written to the standard output to the standard
error", i.e. "1>&2" aka ">&2".

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.

When a 1-line file is augmented by a second line, and the user tries to
stage that single line via the "Stage Line" context menu item, we do not
want to see "apply: corrupt patch at line 5".
The reason for this error was that the hunk header looks like this:
@@ -1 +1,2 @@
but the existing code expects the original range always to contain a
comma. This problem is easily fixed by cutting the string "1 +1,2"
(that Git GUI formerly mistook for the starting line) at the space.

This fixes an issue where the Git wrapper would terminate upon Ctrl+C,
even in the case when its child process would *not* terminate.
Note: while the original intention was to fix running Git Bash in
ConsoleZ, the bug fix applies also to running
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash -l -i
in a cmd window.

Use msysGit's `git-wrapper` instead of the builtins. This works around
two issues:
- when the file system does not allow hard links, we would waste over
800 megabyte by having 109 copies of a multi-megabyte executable
- even when the file system allows hard links, the Windows Explorer
counts the disk usage as if it did not. Many users complained about
Git for Windows using too much space (when it actually did not). We
can easily avoid those user complaints by merging this branch.

It is better to state clearly expectations and intentions than to assume
quietly that everybody agrees.
This Code of Conduct is the Open Code of Conduct as per

adjustments to reflect that there is no "response team" in addition to the
Git for Windows maintainer, and the addition of the link to the Open Code

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.

After `git merge --squash` git creates .git/SQUASH_MSG (UTF-8 encoded)
which contains squashed commits. When run `git gui` it copies SQUASH_MSG
to PREPARE_COMMIT_MSG, but without honoring UTF-8. This leads to encoding
problems on `git gui` commit prompt.
The same applies on git cherry-pick conflict, where MERGE_MSG is created
and then is copied to PREPARE_COMMIT_MSG.
In both cases PREPARE_COMMIT_MSG must be configured to store data in UTF-8.

When using remotes (with git-flow especially), the remote reference names
are almost always wordwrapped in the "list references" window because it's
somewhat narrow by default. It's possible to resize it with a mouse,
but it's annoying to have to do this every time, especially on Windows 10,
where the window border seems to be only one (1) pixel wide, thus making
the grabbing of the window border tricky.

... while waiting for the child process to finish.
The Git wrapper serves, among other things, as git-cmd.exe. In that
role, its primary purpose is to provide an interactive cmd window that
knows where to find Git.
A secondary use of git-cmd.exe is to be able to launch other console
processes that know about Git, e.g. when ConsoleZ wants to call an
interactive Bash (it cannot call git-bash.exe because that would open a
new MinTTY window). To this end, git-cmd.exe supports the --command=...
command-line option. The interactive bash would be called like this:
git-cmd --command=usr\bin\bash.exe -l -i
The command-line arguments after the --command=... options are simply
passed through to the command itself. If no --command=... option is
specified, git-cmd.exe defaults to cmd.exe.
Once git-cmd.exe is launched, it finds the top-level directory of the
Git for Windows installation and then launches the command as a child
process. And this is where things get a little bit tricky: When the user
presses CTRL-C, the cmd window receives WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP messages
which are then handled by the TranslateMessage function that generates a
CTRL-C event that is sent to the console processes running in the
console window (i.e. both git-cmd.exe and the child process).
If no Console Ctrl Handlers have been registered, the git-cmd.exe
process will simply be terminated, without having waited for the
interactive Bash to quit (it does not quit, of course, because it
handles Ctrl+C by terminating any process launched from within the
Bash). Now both cmd and the Bash compete for user input.
Luckily, the solution is very easy: the Win32 API sports a
SetConsoleCtrlHandler() function to register/unregister Console Ctrl
Handlers. When the NULL pointer is registered as "handler", it "causes
the calling process to ignore CTRL+C input":
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms686016.aspx
This is exactly what we need here: while waiting for the child processes
to finish, the git-cmd.exe process itself should not be interruptible by
the user. Immediately after the child process terminates, we unregister
the Console Ctrl Handler.
Note: we need to be careful with changes to the Git wrapper as it serves
many other purposes in addition to git-cmd.exe. For example, it serves
as the cmd\git.exe as well as all of the git-<builtin>.exe stand-ins.
So do we want the same Ctrl+C behavior even in those instances? Yes: If
the user interrupts using Ctrl+C, the child process should terminate
before the Git wrapper.
Also note: We cannot override the Console Ctrl Handler with a function
that simply always returns TRUE: this would prevent the console window
opened via git-cmd.exe from closing, since the Console Ctrl Handler
*also* handles "signals generated by the system when the user closes the
console, logs off, or shuts down the system."
[jes: changed the patch to conform with the surrounding coding style, to
pass NULL as Console Ctrl Handler and unregister it as soon as
appropriate, fixed commit message to be more accurate and informative,
added link to the SetConsoleCtrlHandler() documentation.]
