a2a5ac3e50 Make mingw_offset_1st_component() behave consistently for all paths.
mingw_offset_1st_component() returns "foo" for inputs "/foo" and
"c:/foo", but inconsistently returns "/foo" for UNC input
"/machine/share/foo".  Fix it to return "foo" for all cases.

3142f2493e mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate
On Windows, EACCES overrules ENOTEMPTY when calling rmdir(). But if the
directory is busy, we only want to retry deleting the directory if it
is empty, so test specifically for that case and set ENOTEMPTY rather
than EACCES.

bc1e462b7e mingw: Don't ask the user yes/no questions if they can't see the question.
If the stdout of the command is connected to a terminal but the stderr
has been redirected, the odds are good that the user can't see any
question we print out to stderr.  This will result in a "mysterious
hang" while the app is waiting for user input.

It seems better to be conservative, and avoid asking for input
whenever the stderr is not a terminal, just like we do for stdin.

c8dd890132 mingw: make failures to unlink or move raise a question
On Windows in case a program is accessing a file unlink or
move operations may fail. To give the user a chance to correct
this we simply wait until the user asks us to retry or fail.

This is useful because of the following use case which seem
to happen rarely but when it does it is a mess:

After making some changes the user realizes that he was on the
incorrect branch. When trying to change the branch some file
is still in use by some other process and git stops in the
middle of changing branches. Now the user has lots of files
with changes mixed with his own. This is especially confusing
on repositories that contain lots of files.

Although the recent implementation of automatic retry makes
this scenario much more unlikely lets provide a fallback as
a last resort.

3154ec02be core.hidedotfiles: hide '.git' dir by default
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]

9d9272d0a7 MinGW: fix stat() and lstat() implementations for handling symlinks
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.

Includes squashed fix st_mode for symlink dirs

c8b296450e Fix checkout of large files to network shares on Windows XP
Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail.  Cap them at 31MB to
allow them to succeed.  Callers need to be prepared for write() calls
that do less work than requested anyway.

On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with
a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista.  Thus a cap of 31MB won't
affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work.  There's
still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB
without increasing the number of system calls.

75301f9015 Windows: avoid the "dup dance" when spawning a child process
When stdin, stdout, or stderr must be redirected for a child process that
on Windows is spawned using one of the spawn() functions of Microsoft's
C runtime, then there is no choice other than to

1. make a backup copy of fd 0,1,2 with dup
2. dup2 the redirection source fd into 0,1,2
3. spawn
4. dup2 the backup back into 0,1,2
5. close the backup copy and the redirection source

We used this idiom as well -- but we are not using the spawn() functions
anymore!

Instead, we have our own implementation. We had hardcoded that stdin,
stdout, and stderr of the child process were inherited from the parent's
fds 0, 1, and 2. But we can actually specify any fd.

With this patch, the fds to inherit are passed from start_command()'s
WIN32 section to our spawn implementation. This way, we can avoid the
backup copies of the fds.

The backup copies were a bug waiting to surface: The OS handles underlying
the dup()ed fds were inherited by the child process (but were not
associated with a file descriptor in the child). Consequently, the file or
pipe represented by the OS handle remained open even after the backup copy
was closed in the parent process until the child exited.

Since our implementation of pipe() creates non-inheritable OS handles, we
still dup() file descriptors in start_command() because dup() happens to
create inheritable duplicates. (A nice side effect is that the fd cleanup
in start_command is the same for Windows and Unix and remains unchanged.)

3e34d66577 Windows: simplify the pipe(2) implementation
Our implementation of pipe() must create non-inheritable handles for the
reason that when a child process is started, there is no opportunity to
close the unneeded pipe ends in the child (on POSIX this is done between
fork() and exec()).

Previously, we used the _pipe() function provided by Microsoft's C runtime
(which creates inheritable handles) and then turned the handles into
non-inheritable handles using the DuplicateHandle() API.

Simplify the procedure by using the CreatePipe() API, which can create
non-inheritable handles right from the beginning.

after:    9 DLLs

435bdf8c7f Make usage of windows.h lean and mean
Centralize the include of windows.h in git-compat-util.h, turn on
WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN to avoid including plenty of other header files
which is not needed in Git. Also ensure we load winsock2.h first,
so we don't load the older winsock definitions at a later stage,
since they contain duplicate definitions.

When moving windows.h into git-compat-util.h, we need to protect
the definition of struct pollfd in mingw.h, since this file is used
by both MinGW and MSVC, and the latter defines this struct in
winsock2.h.

We need to keep the windows.h include in compat/win32.h, since its
shared by both MinGW and Cygwin, and we're not touching Cygwin in
this commit. The include in git-compat-util.h is protected with an
ifdef WIN32, which is not the case when compiling for Cygwin.

e16c60d9f9 MinGW readdir reimplementation to support d_type
The original readdir implementation was fast, but didn't
support the d_type. This means that git would do additional
lstats for each entry, to figure out if the entry was a
directory or not. This unneedingly slowed down many
operations, since Windows API provides this information
directly when walking the directories.

By running this implementation on Moe's repo structure:
  mkdir bummer && cd bummer; for ((i=0;i<100;i++)); do
    mkdir $i && pushd $i;
      for ((j=0;j<1000;j++)); do echo "$j" >$j; done;
    popd;
  done

included, observe failures in the code that are not reproducible.

The theory is that the failures are due to some other process that happens
to have opened the destination file briefly at the wrong moment. (And there
is no way on Windows to delete or replace a file that is currently open.)
The most likely candidate for such a process is a virus scanner. The
failure is more often observed while there is heavy git activity (for
example while the test suite is running or during a rebase operation).

We work around the failure by retrying the rename operation if it failed
due to ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. The retries are delayed a bit: The first only
by giving up the time slice, the next after the minimal scheduling
granularity, and if more retries are needed, then we wait some non-trivial
amount of time with exponential back-off.

3aea1a5a89 MinGW: Quote arguments for subprocesses that contain a single-quote
Before a process can be spawned by mingw_spawnve, arguments must be
surrounded by double-quotes if special characters are present.  This is
necessary because the startup code of the spawned process will expand
arguments that look like glob patterns.  "Normal" Windows command line
utilities expand only * and ?, but MSYS programs, including bash, are
different: They also expand braces, and this has already been taken care
of by compat/mingw.c:quote_arg().

But MSYS programs also treat single-quotes in a special way: Arguments
between single-quotes are spliced together (with spaces) into a word.
With this patch this treatment is avoided by quoting arguments that contain
single-quotes.

This lets t4252 pass on Windows.

b3debd2b0c MinGW: a helper function that translates Win32 API error codes
This function translates many possible Win32 error codes to suitable
errno numbers.  We will use it in our wrapper functions that need to call
into Win32.

1d4e4cd4a1 MinGW: 64-bit file offsets
The type 'off_t' should be used everywhere so that the bit-depth of that
type can be adjusted in the standard C library, and you just need to
recompile your program to benefit from the extended precision.

Only that it was not done that way in the MS runtime library.

This patch reroutes off_t to off64_t and provides the other necessary
changes so that finally, clones larger than 2 gigabyte work on Windows
(provided you are on a file system that allows files larger than 2gb).

Initial patch by Sickboy <sb@dev-heaven.net>.
