These fixes were necessary for Sverre Rabbelier's remote-hg to work,
but for some magic reason they are not necessary for the current
remote-hg. Makes you wonder how that one gets away with it.

62c603d2c8 t800[12]: work around MSys limitation
MSys works very hard to convert Unix-style paths into DOS-style ones.
*Very* hard.

So hard, indeed, that

	git blame -L/hello/,/green/

is translated into something like

	git blame -LC:/msysgit/hello/,C:/msysgit/green/

As seen in msys_p2w in src\msys\msys\rt\src\winsup\cygwin\path.cc, line
3204ff:

	case '-':
	  //
	  // here we check for POSIX paths as attributes to a POSIX switch.
	  //
	...

seemingly absolute POSIX paths in single-letter options get expanded by
msys.dll unless they contain '=' or ';'.

So a quick and very dirty fix is to use '-L/;*evil/'. (Using an equal sign
works only when it is before a comma, so in the above example, /=*green/
would still be converted to a DOS-style path.)

This happens only when the corresponding commits are not exported in

commit is already marked, or when the commit is explicitly marked
as UNINTERESTING with a negative ref by another argument.

52d19711b7 Tests: optionally skip redirecting stdin/stdout/stderr
There is a really useful debugging technique developed by Sverre
Rabbelier that inserts "bash &&" somewhere in the test scripts, letting
the developer interact at given points with the current state.

Another debugging technique, used a lot by this here coder, is to run
certain executables via gdb by guarding a "gdb -args" call in
bin-wrappers/git.

Both techniques were disabled by 781f76b1(test-lib: redirect stdin of
tests).

Let's reinstate the ability to run an interactive shell by making the
redirection optional: setting the TEST_NO_REDIRECT environment variable
will skip the redirection.

4475434264 Win32: support long paths
Windows paths are typically limited to MAX_PATH = 260 characters, even
though the underlying NTFS file system supports paths up to 32,767 chars.
This limitation is also evident in Windows Explorer, cmd.exe and many
other applications (including IDEs).

Particularly annoying is that most Windows APIs return bogus error codes
if a relative path only barely exceeds MAX_PATH in conjunction with the
current directory, e.g. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND / ENOENT instead of the
infinitely more helpful ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE / ENAMETOOLONG.

Many Windows wide char APIs support longer than MAX_PATH paths through the
file namespace prefix ('\\?\' or '\\?\UNC\') followed by an absolute path.
Notable exceptions include functions dealing with executables and the
current directory (CreateProcess, LoadLibrary, Get/SetCurrentDirectory) as
well as the entire shell API (ShellExecute, SHGetSpecialFolderPath...).

Introduce a handle_long_path function to check the length of a specified
path properly (and fail with ENAMETOOLONG), and to optionally expand long
paths using the '\\?\' file namespace prefix. Short paths will not be
modified, so we don't need to worry about device names (NUL, CON, AUX).

Contrary to MSDN docs, the GetFullPathNameW function doesn't seem to be
limited to MAX_PATH (at least not on Win7), so we can use it to do the
heavy lifting of the conversion (translate '/' to '\', eliminate '.' and
'..', and make an absolute path).

Add long path error checking to xutftowcs_path for APIs with hard MAX_PATH
limit.

Add a new MAX_LONG_PATH constant and xutftowcs_long_path function for APIs
that support long paths.

While improved error checking is always active, long paths support must be
explicitly enabled via 'core.longpaths' option. This is to prevent end
users to shoot themselves in the foot by checking out files that Windows
Explorer, cmd/bash or their favorite IDE cannot handle.

Test suite:
Test the case is when the full pathname length of a dir is close
to 260 (MAX_PATH).

tag to give name to a given commit, because it tried to come up
with a name with smallest number of hops from a tag, causing an old
commit whose close descendant that is recently tagged were not
described with respect to an old tag but with a newer tag.  It did
not help that its computation of "hop" count was further tweaked to
penalize being on a side branch of a merge.  The logic has been
updated to favor using the tag with the oldest tagger date, which
is a lot easier to explain to the end users: "We describe a commit
in terms of the (chronologically) oldest tag that contains the

366f9cea18 difftool: handle unmerged files in dir-diff mode
When files are unmerged they can show up as both unmerged and
modified in the output of `git diff --raw`.  This causes
difftool's dir-diff to create filesystem entries for the same

Ensure that each worktree path is only processed once.
Add a test to demonstrate the breakage.

90a78b83e0 diff: run arguments through precompose_argv
When running diff commands, a pathspec containing decomposed
unicode code points is not converted to precomposed unicode form
under Mac OS X, but we normalize the paths in the index and the
history to precomposed form on that platform.  As a result, the
pathspec would not match and no diff is shown.

Unlike many builtin commands, the "diff" family of commands do
not use parse_options(), which is how other builtin commands
indirectly call precompose_argv() to normalize argv[] into
precomposed form on Mac OSX.  Teach these commands to call
precompose_argv() themselves.

Note that precomopose_argv() normalizes not just paths but all
command line arguments, so things like "git diff -G $string"
when $string has the decomposed form would first be normalized
into the precomposed form and would stop hitting the same string
in the decomposed form in the diff output with this change.

It is not a problem per-se, as "log" family of commands already use
parse_options() and call precompose_argv()--we can think of this
change as making the "diff" family of commands behave in a similar
way as the commands in the "log" family.

d88785e424 test-lib: set BASH_XTRACEFD automatically
Passing "-x" to a test script enables the shell's "set -x"
tracing, which can help with tracking down the command that
is causing a failure. Unfortunately, it can also _cause_
failures in some tests that redirect the stderr of a shell
function.  Inside the function the shell continues to
respect "set -x", and the trace output is collected along
with whatever stderr is generated normally by the function.

You can see an example of this by running:

  ./t0040-parse-options.sh -x -i

which will fail immediately in the first test, as it
expects:

  test_must_fail some-cmd 2>output.err

to leave output.err empty (but with "-x" it has our trace
output).

Unfortunately there isn't a portable or scalable solution to
this. We could teach test_must_fail to disable "set -x", but
that doesn't help any of the other functions or subshells.

However, we can work around it by pointing the "set -x"
output to our descriptor 4, which always points to the
original stderr of the test script. Unfortunately this only
works for bash, but it's better than nothing (and other
shells will just ignore the BASH_XTRACEFD variable).

The patch itself is a simple one-liner, but note the caveats
in the accompanying comments.

Automatic tests for our "-x" option may be a bit too meta
(and a pain, because they are bash-specific), but I did
confirm that it works correctly both with regular "-x" and
with "--verbose-only=1". This works because the latter flips
"set -x" off and on for particular tests (if it didn't, we
would get tracing for all tests, as going to descriptor 4
effectively circumvents the verbose flag).

f30afdabbf mingw: introduce the 'core.hideDotFiles' setting
On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.

On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.

In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.

Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.

The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).

In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.

Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.

A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().

The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.

6d2d780f63 fsck: detect and warn a commit with embedded NUL
Even though a Git commit object is designed to be capable of storing
any binary data as its payload, in practice people use it to describe
the changes in textual form, and tools like "git log" are designed to
treat the payload as text.

Detect and warn when we see any commit object with a NUL byte in
it.

Note that a NUL byte in the header part is already detected as a
grave error.  This change is purely about the message part.
