`GetLongPathName()` function may fail when it is unable to query
the parent directory of a path component to determine the long name
for that component. It happens, because of it uses `FindFirstFile()`
function for each next short part of path. The `FindFirstFile()`
requires `List Directory` and `Synchronize` desired access for a calling
process.
In case of lacking such permission for some part of path,
the `GetLongPathName()` returns 0 as result and `GetLastError()`
returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
`GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function can help in such cases, because
it requires `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize` desired access to the
target path only.
The `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function was introduced on
`Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista`. So we need to load it dynamically.
`CreateFile()` parameters:
`lpFileName` = path to the current directory
`dwDesiredAccess` = 0 (it means `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize`)
`dwShareMode` = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE
(it prevents `Sharing Violation`)
`lpSecurityAttributes` = NULL (default security attributes)
`dwCreationDisposition` = OPEN_EXISTING
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`dwFlagsAndAttributes` = FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`hTemplateFile` = NULL (when opening an existing file or directory,
`CreateFile` ignores this parameter)
The string that is returned by `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function
uses the \\?\ syntax. To skip the prefix and convert backslashes
to slashes, the `normalize_ntpath()` mingw function will be used.
Note: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function returns a final path.
It is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved.
For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to
"D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir".

When switching the current working directory, say, in PowerShell, it is
quite possible to use a different capitalization than the one that is
recorded on disk. While doing the same in `cmd.exe` adjusts the
capitalization magically, that does not happen in PowerShell so that
`getcwd()` returns the current directory in a different way than is
recorded on disk.
Typically this creates no problems except when you call
git log .
in a subdirectory called, say, "GIT/" but you switched to "Git/" and
your `getcwd()` reports the latter, then Git won't understand that you
wanted to see the history as per the `GIT/` subdirectory but it thinks you
wanted to see the history of some directory that may have existed in the
past (but actually never did).
So let's be extra careful to adjust the capitalization of the current
directory before working with it.

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).

On Windows, files cannot be removed nor renamed if there are still
handles held by a process. To remedy that, we introduced the
close_all_packs() function.
Earlier, we made sure that the packs are released just before `git gc`
is spawned, in case that gc wants to remove no-longer needed packs.
But this developer forgot that gc itself also needs to let go of packs,
e.g. when consolidating all packs via the --aggressive option.
Likewise, `git repack -d` wants to delete obsolete packs and therefore
needs to close all pack handles, too.

When testing a merge driver which spawns a merge server (for future merges)
I got the following error:
Rename from 'xxx/.git/index.lock' to 'xxx/.git/index' failed. Should I try again? (y/n)
Only after I stop the merge server the lock is released.
This is caused by windows handle inheritance.
Starting childs with bInheritHandles==FALSE does not work,
because no file handles would be inherited,
not even the hStdXxx handles in STARTUPINFO.
Opening every file with O_NOINHERIT does not work,
Since it is used by git-upload-pack for example,
which expects inherited handles.
This leaves us with only creating temp files with the O_NOINHERIT flag.

... 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.]

The quoting rules of `cmd.exe` are really, really quirky. In particular,
if there are more than two quotes, the entire set of rules changes. That
is the reason why
CMD /C "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe" -l -i
works, but
CMD /C "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe" -l -i "test.sh"
fails with this error message:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The recommended fix is to pass the /S option to `cmd.exe` and surround
the entire command-line by an extra set of quotes. And here lies the
rub: for that to work, we have to append an extra quote. At the end of
the command-line. *After* the last argument was appended, if any.
This commit supports that use case by introducing the option
"APPEND_QUOTE". The intended usage is to use the following string
resource:
SHOW_CONSOLE=1 APPEND_QUOTE=1
@@COMSPEC@@ /S /C \"\"@@EXEPATH@@\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe\" --login -i
(Note that there are only three quotes on that command-line, the fourth
to be appended due to the `APPEND_QUOTE` setting.)

The idea of `git-bash.exe` automatically running the Git Bash in the
home directory was to support the start menu item `Git Bash` (which
should not start in C:\Program Files\Git, but in $HOME), and to make
that behavior consistent with double-clicking in `git-bash.exe`
portable Git.
However, it turns out that one of the main use cases of portable Git is
to run the Git Bash in GitHub for Windows, and it should start in the
top-level directory of a given project. Therefore, the concern to keep
double-clicking `git-bash.exe` consistent with the start menu item was
actually unfounded.
As to the start menu item: it can easily be changed to launch
`git-bash.exe` with a command-line option. So let's introduce the
--cd-to-home option for that purpose.
As a bonus, the Git wrapper can now also serve as a drop-in redirector
/bin/bash.exe to provide backwards-compatibility of Git for Windows 2.x
with 1.x: some 3rd-party software expects to find that executable there,
and it also expects it to leave the working directory unchanged.

By embedding string resources into the Git wrapper executable, it
can be configured to execute custom commands (after setting up the
environment in the way required for Git for Windows to work properly).
This feature is used e.g. for `git-bash.exe` which launches a Bash in
the configured terminal window.
Here, we introduce command-line options to override those string
resources. That way, a user can call `git-bash.exe` (which is a copy of
the Git wrapper with `usr\bin\bash.exe --login -i` embedded as string
resource) with command-line options that will override what command is
run.
ConEmu, for example, might want to call
...\git-bash.exe --needs-console --no-hide --minimal-search-path ^
--command=usr\\bin\\bash.exe --login -i
In particular, the following options are supported now:
--command=<command-line>::
Executes `<command-line>` instead of the embedded string resource
--[no-]minimal-search-path::
Ensures that only `/cmd/` is added to the `PATH` instead of
`/mingw??/bin` and `/usr/bin/`, or not
--[no-]needs-console::
Ensures that there is a Win32 console associated with the spawned
process, or not
--[no-]hide::

Using different code pages for console input (SetConsoleCP()) and console
output (SetConsoleOutputCP()) doesn't make much sense and may be hazardous
for native Windows programs.
Git uses UTF-8 internally, so it actually needs 'SetConsoleCP(CP_UTF8)'
rather than 'SetConsoleCP(GetACP())'. However, ReadFile() / ReadConsoleA()
are broken with CP_UTF8 (and thus any higher level APIs such as fgetc(),
getchar() etc.). Unicode-aware console input would have to be implemented
via mingw_* wrappers using ReadConsoleW(). As Git typically launches an
editor for anything more complex than ASCII-only, yes/no-style questions,
this is currently not a problem.
Drop 'SetConsoleCP()' from the git-wrapper, so that input and output code

With a recent change in Cygwin (which is the basis of the msys2-runtime),
a GUI process desiring to launch an MSys2 executable needs to allocate a
console for the new process (otherwise the process will just hang on
Windows XP). _Git Bash_ is such a GUI process.
While at it, use correct handles when inheriting the stdin/stdout/stderr
handles: `GetStdHandle()` returns NULL for invalid handles, but the
STARTUPINFO must specify `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` instead.
Originally, the hope was that only this `NULL` => `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE`
conversion would be required to fix the Windows XP issue mentioned above
(extensive debugging revealed that starting _Git Bash_ on Windows XP would
yield invalid handles for `stdin` and `stderr`, but *not* for `stdout`).
However, while _Git Bash_ eventually showed a `mintty` when not allocating
a new console, it took around one second to show it, and several seconds
to close it. So let's just include both fixes.
