MSYS2 actually allows to create files or directories whose names contain
tabs, newlines or colors, even if plain Win32 API cannot access them.
As we are using an MSYS2 bash to run the tests, such files or
directories are created successfully, but Git itself has no chance to
work with them because it is a regular Windows program, hence limited by
the Win32 API.
With this change, on Windows otherwise failing tests in

On Windows, Git itself has no clue about POSIX paths, but its shell

comparing the path of the author file, we get a mismatch that is
entirely due to the POSIX path vs Windows path clash.

On Windows' file systems, file names with trailing dots are forbidden.
The POSIX emulation layer used by Git for Windows' Subversion emulates
those file names, therefore the test adding the file would actually

POSIX emulation layer) to check out the tree, it would fail.

The colon is used by check-ignore to separate paths from other output
values. If we use an absolute path, however, on Windows it will be
converted into a Windows path that very much contains a colon.
It is actually not at all necessary to make the path of the global

In Git for Windows' SDK, the tests are run using a Bash that relies on
the POSIX emulation layer MSYS2 (itself a friendly fork of Cygwin). As
such, paths in tests can be POSIX paths. As soon as those paths are
passed to git.exe (which does *not* use the POSIX emulation layer),
those paths are converted into Windows paths, though. This happens
for command-line parameters, but not when reading, say, config variables.
To help with that, the `pwd` command is overridden to return the Windows
path of the current working directory when testing Git on Windows.
However, when talking to anything using the POSIX emulation layer, it is
really much better to use POSIX paths because Windows paths contain a
colon after the drive letter that will easily be mistaken for the common
separator in path lists.
So let's just use the $PWD variable when the POSIX path is needed.
This lets t7800-difftool.sh, t9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh,
t9402-git-cvsserver-refs.sh and t9401-git-cvsserver-crlf.sh pass in Git

`cpan DBD::SQLite`).

The Git daemon tests create a FIFO first thing and will hang if said

This is a problem with Git for Windows, where `mkfifo` is an MSYS2

that POSIX emulation layer and therefore blinks twice when it sees

MSYS2 (the POSIX emulation layer used by Git for Windows' Bash) actually
has a working mkfifo. The only problem is that it is only emulating
named pipes through the MSYS2 runtime; The Win32 API has no idea about
named pipes, hence the Git executable cannot access those pipes either.
The symptom is that Git fails with a '<name>: No such file or directory'
because MSYS2 emulates named pipes through special-crafted '.lnk' files.
The solution is to tell the test suite explicitly that we cannot use
named pipes when we want to test on Windows.

On Windows, there are no POSIX paths, only Windows ones (an absolute
Windows path looks like "C:\Program Files\Git\ReleaseNotes.html", under
most circumstances, forward slashes are also allowed and synonymous to
backslashes).
So when a POSIX shell (such as MSYS2's Bash, which is used by Git for
Windows to execute all those shell scripts that are part of Git) passes
a POSIX path to test-path-utils.exe (which is not POSIX-aware), the path
is translated into a Windows path. For example, /etc/profile becomes
C:/Program Files/Git/etc/profile.
This path translation poses a problem when passing the root directory as
parameter to test-path-utils.exe, as it is not well defined whether the
translated root directory should end in a slash or not. MSys1 stripped
the trailing slash, but MSYS2 does not.
Originally, the Git for Windows project patched MSYS2's runtime to
accomodate Git's regression test, but we really should do it the other
way round.
To work with both of MSys1's and MSYS2's behaviors, we simply test what
the current system does in the beginning of t0060-path-utils.sh and then
adjust the expected longest ancestor length accordingly.
It looks quite a bit tricky what we actually do in this patch: first, we
adjust the expected length for the trailing slash we did not originally
expect (subtracting one). So far, so good.
But now comes the part where things work in a surprising way: when the
expected length was 0, the prefix to match is the root directory. If the
root directory is converted into a path with a trailing slash, however,
we know that the logic in longest_ancestor_length() cannot match: to
avoid partial matches of the last directory component, it verifies that
the character after the matching prefix is a slash (but because the
slash was part of the matching prefix, the next character cannot be a
slash). So the return value is -1. Alas, this is exactly what the
expected length is after subtracting the value of $rootslash! So we skip
adding the $rootoff value in that case (and only in that case).
Directories other than the root directory are handled fine (as they are
specified without a trailing slash, something not possible for the root
directory, and MSYS2 converts them into Windows paths that also lack
trailing slashes), therefore we do not need any more special handling.

On Windows, absolute paths never start with a slash, unless a POSIX
emulation layer is used. The latter is the case for MSYS2's Perl that
Git for Windows leverages. However, in the tests we also go through
plain `git.exe`, which does *not* leverage the POSIX emulation layer,
and therefore the paths we pass to Perl may actually be DOS-style paths
such as C:/Program Files/Git.
So let's just use Perl's own way to test whether a given path is
absolute or not instead of home-brewing our own.

This solves two problems:
- we now have proper localisation even on Windows
- we sidestep the infamous "BUG: your vsnprintf is broken (returned -1)"

For a long time, Git for Windows lagged behind Git's 2.x releases because
the Git for Windows developers wanted to let that big jump coincide with
a well-needed jump away from MSys to MSys2.
To understand why this is such a big issue, it needs to be noted that
many parts of Git are not written in portable C, but instead Git relies
on a POSIX shell and Perl to be available.
To support the scripts, Git for Windows has to ship a minimal POSIX
emulation layer with Bash and Perl thrown in, and when the Git for
Windows effort started in August 2007, this developer settled on using
MSys, a stripped down version of Cygwin. Consequently, the original name
of the project was "msysGit" (which, sadly, caused a *lot* of confusion
because few Windows users know about MSys, and even less care).
To compile the C code of Git for Windows, MSys was used, too: it sports
two versions of the GNU C Compiler: one that links implicitly to the
POSIX emulation layer, and another one that targets the plain Win32 API
(with a few convenience functions thrown in). Git for Windows'
executables are built using the latter, and therefore they are really
just Win32 programs. To discern executables requiring the POSIX
emulation layer from the ones that do not, the latter are called MinGW
(Minimal GNU for Windows) when the former are called MSys executables.
This reliance on MSys incurred challenges, too, though: some of our
changes to the MSys runtime -- necessary to support Git for Windows
better -- were not accepted upstream, so we had to maintain our own
fork. Also, the MSys runtime was not developed further to support e.g.
UTF-8 or 64-bit, and apart from lacking a package management system
until much later (when mingw-get was introduced), many packages provided
by the MSys/MinGW project lag behind the respective source code
versions, in particular Bash and OpenSSL. For a while, the Git for
Windows project tried to remedy the situation by trying to build newer
versions of those packages, but the situation quickly became untenable,
especially with problems like the Heartbleed bug requiring swift action
that has nothing to do with developing Git for Windows further.
Happily, in the meantime the MSys2 project (https://msys2.github.io/)
emerged, and was chosen to be the base of the Git for Windows 2.x. Just
like MSys, MSys2 is a stripped down version of Cygwin, but it is
actively kept up-to-date with Cygwin's source code. Thereby, it already
supports Unicode internally, and it also offers the 64-bit support that
we yearned for since the beginning of the Git for Windows project.
MSys2 also ported the Pacman package management system from Arch Linux
and uses it heavily. This brings the same convenience to which Linux
users are used to from `yum` or `apt-get`, and to which MacOSX users are
used to from Homebrew or MacPorts, or BSD users from the Ports system,
to MSys2: a simple `pacman -Syu` will update all installed packages to
the newest versions currently available.
MSys2 is also *very* active, typically providing package updates
multiple times per week.
It still required a two-month effort to bring everything to a state
where Git's test suite passes, many more months until the first official
Git for Windows 2.x was released, and a couple of patches still await
their submission to the respective upstream projects. Yet without MSys2,
the modernization of Git for Windows would simply not have happened.
This commit lays the ground work to supporting MSys2-based Git builds.
