5c9bdfeead rebase: start implementing it as a builtin
This commit imitates the strategy that was used to convert the
difftool to a builtin. We start by renaming the shell script
`git-rebase.sh` to `git-legacy-rebase.sh` and introduce a
`builtin/rebase.c` that simply executes the shell script version,
unless the config setting `rebase.useBuiltin` is set to `true`.

The motivation behind this is to rewrite all the functionality of the
shell script version in the aforementioned `rebase.c`, one by one and
be able to conveniently test new features by configuring
`rebase.useBuiltin`.

In the original difftool conversion, if sane_execvp() that attempts to
run the legacy scripted version returned with non-negative status, the
command silently exited without doing anything with success, but
sane_execvp() should not return with non-negative status in the first
place, so we use die() to notice such an abnormal case.

We intentionally avoid reading the config directly to avoid
messing up the GIT_* environment variables when we need to fall back to
exec()ing the shell script. The test of builtin rebase can be done by
`git -c rebase.useBuiltin=true rebase ...`

0d438c7f4e Start the merging-rebase to f0badda8d7
This merging-rebase does not change anything in the code, just in the
commit structure of Git for Windows' branch thicket.

The motivation for this is that we have accumulated tons and tons of
patches in various stages of readiness to be contributed to core Git,
but there is no clear picture which patches are the most ready.

So here we use the calmer post-release days to organize our existing
branches into a more coherent structure, reordering them in order of
priority, and we also take the opportunity to merge branches (e.g.
misc-vs-fixes-extra into misc-vs-fixes) as well as patches (e.g. "The
stat() function should be independent of core.symlinks" really wanted to
be a fixup! commit for "Win32: implement stat() with symlink support").

This commit starts the rebase of f0badda8d7 to f0badda8d7

b867ed17d0 pack-objects (mingw): initialize packing_data mutex in the correct spot
In 9ac3f0e5b3 (pack-objects: fix performance issues on packing large
deltas, 2018-07-22), a mutex was introduced that is used to guard the
call to set the delta size. This commit even added code to initialize
it, but at an incorrect spot: in `init_threaded_search()`, while the
call to `oe_set_delta_size()` (and hence to `packing_data_lock()`) can
happen in the call chain `check_object()` <- `get_object_details()` <-
`prepare_pack()` <- `cmd_pack_objects()`, which is long before the
`prepare_pack()` function calls `ll_find_deltas()` (which initializes
the threaded search).

Another tell-tale that the mutex was initialized in an incorrect spot is
that the function to initialize it lives in builtin/, while the code
that uses the mutex is defined in a libgit.a header file.

Let's use a more appropriate function: `prepare_packing_data()`, which
not only lives in libgit.a, but *has* to be called before the
`packing_data` struct is used that contains that mutex.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1839.

0f48dae3b3 pack-objects (mingw): demonstrate a segmentation fault with large deltas
There is a problem in the way 9ac3f0e5b3 (pack-objects: fix
performance issues on packing large deltas, 2018-07-22) initializes that
mutex in the `packing_data` struct. The problem manifests in a
segmentation fault on Windows, when a mutex (AKA critical section) is
accessed without being initialized. (With pthreads, you apparently do
not really have to initialize them?)

This was reported in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1839.

18a869b96b Merge 'builtin-stash-rebase-v3'
This trick was performed by rebasing the builtin-stash-rebase-v2 branch
thicket via `git rebase -ki --rebase-merges=rebase-cousins v2.19.1`,
replacing all branches that made it into `pu` by their current versions
(and also the builtin-stash by the newest iteration as of ungps/git),
labeling the branch as `builtin-stash-rebase-v3` and then replacing it
in the `merge` command in the todo list.

We did have to rebase the "cousins" because the initial merge of a
merging-rebase will confuse the merge-base logic (and hence the changes
would be dropped when we try to merge them "again").

01e61804d3 Merge branch 'ctrl-c'
This is part two of the Ctrl+C story, where part one is
https://github.com/git-for-windows/MSYS2-packages/commit/f4fda0f30aa.

Part one took care of extending the signal handling in the MSYS2 runtime
such that non-MSYS2 processes "receive" a SIGINT by injecting a remote
thread that runs kernel32!CtrlRoutine as if GenerateConsoleCtrlHandler()
had been called (but in contrast to the latter, only one process is
targeted at a time, not every process attached to the same Console) into
the process that needs to be interrupted as well as into all of the
spawned child processes.

Part two now takes care of removing the misguided "kill all spawned
children" atexit() handler, and it also installs a ConsoleCtrl handler
to run Git's SIGINT handlers, such as the one waiting for the pager to
exit.

610865d72b mingw: really handle SIGINT
Previously, we did not install any handler for Ctrl+C, but now we really
want to because the MSYS2 runtime learned the trick to call the
ConsoleCtrlHandler when Ctrl+C was pressed.

With this, hitting Ctrl+C while `git log` is running will only terminate
the Git process, but not the pager. This finally matches the behavior on
Linux and on macOS.

962d74929d setup_git_directory(): handle UNC root paths correctly
When working in the root directory of a file share (this is only
possible in Git Bash and Powershell, but not in CMD), the current
directory is reported without a trailing slash.

This is different from Unix and standard Windows directories: both / and
C:\ are reported with a trailing slash as current directories.

If a Git worktree is located there, Git is not quite prepared for that:
while it does manage to find the .git directory/file, it returns as
length of the top-level directory's path *one more* than the length of
the current directory, and setup_git_directory_gently() would then
return an undefined string as prefix.

In practice, this undefined string usually points to NUL bytes, and does
not cause much harm. Under rare circumstances that are really involved
to reproduce (and not reliably so), the reported prefix could be a
suffix string of Git's exec path, though.

A careful analysis determined that this bug is unlikely to be
exploitable, therefore we mark this as a regular bug fix.

030a1648fe mingw (git_terminal_prompt): work around BusyBox & WSL issues
When trying to query the user directly via /dev/tty, both WSL's bash and

Let's just work around this by running the Bash snippet only in MSYS2's
Bash: its `SHELL` variable has the `.exe` suffix, and neither WSL's nor
BusyBox' bash set the `SHELL` variable to a path with that suffix. In
the latter case, we simply exit with code 127 (indicating that the
command was not found) and fall back to the CONIN$/CONOUT$ method

When spawning child processes, we do want them to inherit the standard

any other handle, as that would hold a lock to the respective files

process would not know how to access that handle anyway.

Happily, there is an API to make that happen. It is supported in Windows
Vista and later, which is exactly what we promise to support in Git for
Windows for the time being.

This also means that we lift, at long last, the target Windows version
from Windows XP to Windows Vista.

By enabling fscache, git takes file stats by directory traversing and that

refs.

In my windows workstation, this improves the time of `git fetch` for
chromium repository like below. I took stats 3 times.

b0e2df8088 mingw: spawned processes need to inherit only standard handles
By default, CreateProcess() does not inherit any open file handles,
unless the bInheritHandles parameter is set to TRUE. Which we do need to
set because we need to pass in stdin/stdout/stderr to talk to the child
processes. Sadly, this means that all file handles (unless marked via
O_NOINHERIT) are inherited.

This lead to problems in GVFS Git, where a long-running read-object hook
is used to hydrate missing objects, and depending on the circumstances,
might only be called *after* Git opened a file handle.

Ideally, we would not open files without O_NOINHERIT unless *really*
necessary (i.e. when we want to pass the opened file handle as standard
handle into a child process), but apparently it is all-too-easy to
introduce incorrect open() calls: this happened, and prevented updating
a file after the read-object hook was started because the hook still
held a handle on said file.

Happily, there is a solution: as described in the "Old New Thing"
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20111216-00/?p=8873 there
is a way, starting with Windows Vista, that lets us define precisely
which handles should be inherited by the child process.

And since we bumped the minimum Windows version for use with Git for
Windows to Vista with v2.10.1 (i.e. a *long* time ago), we can use this
method. So let's do exactly that.

We need to make sure that the list of handles to inherit does not
contain duplicates; Otherwise CreateProcessW() would fail with
ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.

While at it, stop setting errno to ENOENT unless it really is the
correct value.

Also, fall back to not limiting handle inheritance under certain error
conditions (e.g. on Windows 7, which is a lot stricter in what handles
you can specify to limit to).

bd495ad2a5 mingw: spawned processes need to inherit only standard handles
This patch should logically come before the patch which tries to limit
the list of file handles to be inherited by spawned processes, to avoid
introducing a regression before resolving it.

mingw: work around incorrect standard handles

For some reason, when being called via TortoiseGit the standard handles,
or at least what is returned by _get_osfhandle(0) for standard input,
can take on the value (HANDLE)-2 (which is not a legal value, according
to the documentation).

Even if this value is not documented anywhere, CreateProcess() seems to
work fine without complaints if hStdInput set to this value.

In contrast, the upcoming code to restrict which file handles get
inherited by spawned processes would result in `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER`
when including such handle values in the list.

To help this, special-case the value (HANDLE)-2 returned by
_get_osfhandle() and replace it with INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, which will
hopefully let the handle inheritance restriction work even when called
from TortoiseGit.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1481

8c0ce7d5bc mingw: bump the minimum Windows version to Vista
Quite some time ago, a last plea to the XP users out there who want to
see Windows XP support in Git for Windows, asking them to get engaged
and help, vanished into the depths of the universe.

It is time to codify the ascent by the "silent majority" of XP users,
and mark the minimum Windows version required for Git for Windows as
Windows Vista.

This, incidentally, lets us use quite a few nice new APIs.

This also means that we no longer need the inet_pton() and inet_ntop()
emulation, and we no longer need to do the PROC_ADDR dance with the
`CreateSymbolicLinkW()` function, either.
