We meticulously pass the `exclude` flag to the `treat_directory()`

than untracked when recursing.
But we did not yet treat submodules the same way.

Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime was just adjusted to kill processes
gently, by injecting a thread that calls ExitProcess(). In case of
signals (such as when handling Ctrl+C in a MinTTY window), the exit code
is 128 + sign_no, as expected by Git's source code.
However, as there is no POSIX signal handling on Windows, no signal
handlers are called. Instead, functions registered via atexit() are
called. We work around that by testing the exit code explicitly.
This fixes the Git for Windows side of the bug where interrupting `git
clone https://...` would send the spawned-off `git remote-https` process
into the background instead of interrupting it, i.e. the clone would
continue and its progress would be reported mercilessly to the console
window without the user being able to do anything about it (short of
firing up the task manager and killing the appropriate task manually).

The TerminateProcess() function does not actually leave the child
processes any chance to perform any cleanup operations. This is bad
insofar as Git itself expects its signal handlers to run.
A symptom is e.g. a left-behind .lock file that would not be left behind
if the same operation was run, say, on Linux.
To remedy this situation, we use an obscure trick: we inject a thread
into the process that needs to be killed and to let that thread run the
ExitProcess() function with the desired exit status. Thanks J Wyman for
describing this trick.
The advantage is that the ExitProcess() function lets the atexit
handlers run. While this is still different from what Git expects (i.e.
running a signal handler), in practice Git sets up signal handlers and
atexit handlers that call the same code to clean up after itself.
In case that the gentle method to terminate the process failed, we still
fall back to calling TerminateProcess(), but in that case we now also
make sure that processes spawned by the spawned process are terminated;
TerminateProcess() does not give the spawned process a chance to do so
itself.
Please note that this change only affects how Git for Windows tries to
terminate processes spawned by Git's own executables. Third-party
software that *calls* Git and wants to terminate it *still* need to make
sure to imitate this gentle method, otherwise this patch will not have
any effect.

We newly handle isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file
descriptors, caching the return value. However, we missed the case where
dup2() overrides the respective file descriptor.
That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very
early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the
return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently,
`cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should
happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and
consequently stdout should be left alone.
Let's override dup2() to handle this appropriately.

A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified
how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime
derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls
for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20).
An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.
One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.

When specifying an absolute path without a drive prefix, we convert that

On Windows, there are several categories of absolute paths. One such
category starts with a backslash and is implicitly relative to the
drive associated with the current working directory. Example:
c:
git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W
should clone into C:\G4W.
There is currently a problem with that, in that mingw_mktemp() does not
expect the _wmktemp() function to prefix the absolute path with the
drive prefix, and as a consequence, the resulting path does not fit into
the originally-passed string buffer. The symptom is a "Result too large"
error.

The runtime of a simple `git.exe version` call on Windows is currently
dominated by the gettext setup, adding a whopping ~150ms to the ~210ms
total.
Given that this cost is added to each and every git.exe invocation goes
through common-main's invocation of git_setup_gettext(), and given that
scripts have to call git.exe dozens, if not hundreds, of times, this is
a substantial performance penalty.
This is particularly pointless when considering that Git for Windows
ships without localization (to keep the installer's size to a bearable
~34MB): all that time setting up gettext is for naught.
So let's be smart about it and skip setting up gettext if the locale
directory is not even present.

On Windows, we simply pass a POSIX path to bindtextdomain(), relying on
the current libintl-8.dll implementation to handle that gracefully by
resolving the path relative to the "root" directory inferred from the
location of the .dll file itself.
However, not only does this rely on the custom patches of the gettext
library as shipped with MSYS2 (gettext's own source code is not prepared
to handle POSIX paths on Windows), it also means that Git itself cannot
use the `podir` variable at all because it does not handle absolute
POSIX paths in system_path() correctly, leaving them as-is.
This patch fixes that behavior by always using a GIT_LOCALE_PATH
relative to the (runtime) prefix.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
On Windows, there is no single root directory. And what Git thinks is a
root directory is not a root directory at all: everything is relative to
the location where Git is installed.
To handle this situation better, let's just allow for GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR
to be a path relative to the (runtime) prefix.
To that end, we have to switch the order in which common-main handles
argv0 and sets up gettext: in order to have access to the runtime
prefix, we need it to be inferred from argv0 already.
This patch also prepares for GIT_LOCALE_PATH to be relative to prefix,
which is the even more important fix.

The gui.recentrepo list may be longer than the maxrecent setting.
Allow extra space to show any extra entries.
In an ideal world, the git gui would limit the number of entries
to the maxrecent setting, however the recentrepo config list may
have been extended outwith the gui, or the maxrecent setting changed
to a reduced value. Further, when testing the gui's recentrepo
logic it is useful to show these extra, but valid, entries.

When the gui/user selects a repo for display, that repo is brought to
the end of the recentrepo config list. The logic can fail if there are
duplicate old entries for the repo (you cannot unset a single config
entry when duplicates are present).
Similarly, the maxrecentrepo logic could fail if older duplicate entries
are present.
The first commit of this series ({this}~2) fixed the config unsetting
issue. Rather than manipulating a local copy of the $recent list (one
cannot know how many entries were removed), simply re-read it.
We must also catch the error when the attempt to remove the second copy
from the re-read list is performed.

The git gui's recent repo list may become contaminated with duplicate
entries. The git gui would barf when attempting to remove one entry.
Remove them all - there is no option within 'git config' to selectively
remove one of the entries.
This issue was reported on the 'Git User' list
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/git-users/msev4KsQGFc,
Warning: gui.recentrepo has multiply values while executing).
And also by zosrothko as a Git-for-Windows issue
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1014.
On startup the gui checks that entries in the recentrepo list are still
valid repos and deletes thoses that are not. If duplicate entries are
present the 'git config --unset' will barf and this prevents the gui
from starting.
Subsequent patches fix other parts of recentrepo logic used for syncing
internal lists with the external .gitconfig.

Teach FSCACHE to remember "not found" directories.
This is a performance optimization.
FSCACHE is a performance optimization available for Windows. It
intercepts Posix-style lstat() calls into an in-memory directory
using FindFirst/FindNext. It improves performance on Windows by
catching the first lstat() call in a directory, using FindFirst/
FindNext to read the list of files (and attribute data) for the
entire directory into the cache, and short-cut subsequent lstat()
calls in the same directory. This gives a major performance
boost on Windows.
However, it does not remember "not found" directories. When STATUS
runs and there are missing directories, the lstat() interception
fails to find the parent directory and simply return ENOENT for the
file -- it does not remember that the FindFirst on the directory
failed. Thus subsequent lstat() calls in the same directory, each
re-attempt the FindFirst. This completely defeats any performance
gains.
This can be seen by doing a sparse-checkout on a large repo and
then doing a read-tree to reset the skip-worktree bits and then
running status.
This change reduced status times for my very large repo by 60%.

This operation has quadratic complexity, which is especially painful
on Windows, where shell scripts are *already* slow (mainly due to the
overhead of the POSIX emulation layer).
Let's reimplement this with linear complexity (using a hash map to
match the commits' subject lines) for the common case; Sadly, the
fixup/squash feature's design neglected performance considerations,
allowing arbitrary prefixes (read: `fixup! hell` will match the
commit subject `hello world`), which means that we are stuck with
quadratic performance in the worst case.
The reimplemented logic also happens to fix a bug where commented-out
lines (representing empty patches) were dropped by the previous code.
While at it, clarify how the fixup/squash feature works in `git rebase
