At least for cross-platform projects, it makes sense to hide the
files starting with a dot, as this is the behavior on Unix/MacOSX.
However, at least Eclipse has problems interpreting the hidden flag
correctly, so the default is to hide only the .git/ directory.
The config setting core.hideDotFiles therefore supports not only
'true' and 'false', but also 'dotGitOnly'.
[jes: clarified the commit message, made git init respect the setting
by marking the .git/ directory only after reading the config, and added
documentation, and rebased on top of current junio/next]

Upon program invocation, MSYS converts environment variables containing
path-like values from Unix-style to DOS-style under the assumption that
the program being invoked understands only DOS-style pathnames. For
instance, the Unix-style path /msysgit is translated to c:/msysgit. For
test t5560, the path being requested from git-http-backend is specified
via environment variable PATH_INFO as a URL path of the form
/repo.git/foobar, which git-http-backend combines with GIT_PROJECT_ROOT
to determine the actual physical path within the repository. This is a
case where MSYS's conversion of the path-like value of PATH_INFO causes
harm, for two reasons. First, the resulting converted path, when joined
with GIT_PROJECT_ROOT is bogus (for instance,
"C:/msysgit/git/t/trash-zzz/C:/msysgit/repo.git/HEAD"). Second, the
converted PATH_INFO path is rejected by git-http-backend as an 'alias'
due to validation failure on the part of daemon_avoid_alias().
Unfortunately, the standard work-around of doubling the leading slash
(i.e. //repo.git/foobar) to suppress MSYS path conversion works only for
command-line arguments, but not for environment variables.
Consequently, side step the problem by instead passing git-http-backend
an already-constructed full path rather than components GIT_PROJECT_ROOT
and PATH_INFO.

By default, MSYS sed throws away CR from CRLF line-endings. Tests
t6038.5 and t6038.6 employ sed to normalize conflict output of git-merge
for validation purposes. These tests expect CRLF line-endings to be
present in the normalized output of git-merge, and thus fail when sed
undesirably removes CR. Fix by employing sed's -b/--binary switch to
suppress its default behavior of dropping CR characters.

These two tests fail on msysGit because /dev/null is an alias for nul on
Windows and when reading the value back from git config the alias does
not match the real filename. Also the HOME environment variable has a
unix-style path but git returns a native equivalent path for '~'. As
these are platform-dependent equivalent results it seems simplest to
skip the test entirely.

In msysGit the stat() function has been implemented using mingw_lstat
which sets the st_mode member to S_IFLNK when a symbolic links is found.
This causes the is_executable function to return when git attempts to
build a list of available commands in the help code and we end up missing
most git commands. (msysGit issue #445)
This patch modifies the implementation so that lstat() will return the link
flag but if we are called as stat() we read the size of the target and set
the mode to that of a regular file.

There are buggy implementations of S_ISxxx(m) macros on some platforms
(e.g. NetBSD). The issue is that NetBSD doesn't take care to wrap its
macro arguments in parentheses, so on Linux and sane systems we have
S_ISREG(m) defined as something like:
(((m) & S_IFMT) == S_IFREG)
But on NetBSD:
((m & _S_IFMT) == _S_IFREG)
Since a caller in builtin/diff.c called our macro as `S_IFREG | 0644'
this bug introduced a logic error on NetBSD, since the precedence of
bit-wise & is higher than | in C.

The ctype functions isspace(), isalnum(), et al take an integer
argument representing an unsigned character, or -1 for EOF. On
platforms with a signed char, it is unsafe to pass a char to them
without casting it to unsigned char first.
Most of git is already shielded against this by the ctype
implementation in git-compat-util.h, but xdiff, which uses libc
ctype.h, ought to be fixed.

If setup_git_env() is run before the usual repository discovery
sequence and .git is a file with the text
gitdir: <path>
(with <path> any string) then the in-core git_dir variable is set to
the result of converting <path> to an absolute path using
make_absolute_path().
Unfortunately make_absolute_path() returns its result in a static
buffer that is overwritten by later calls. Such a call could cause
later accesses to git_dir (from git_pathdup(), for example) to read
the wrong path, leaving git very confused.
It is not obvious whether any existing code in git will trigger the
problem, but in any case, it is worth a few dozen bytes to copy the
return value from make_absolute_path() for some added peace of mind.
