`$HOME/bin/` is quite convenient a place to put user-specific Git
helpers, such as credential or remote helpers.
When run in Git Bash, it is therefore already appended to the PATH;
Let's do the equivalent when run in Git CMD: when `git.exe` is
called, Git is told to look also for scripts and programs in
`$HOME/bin` (this does not modify Git CMD's `PATH`, of course).

The quoting rules of `cmd.exe` are really, really quirky. In particular,
if there are more than two quotes, the entire set of rules changes. That
is the reason why
CMD /C "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe" -l -i
works, but
CMD /C "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\bash.exe" -l -i "test.sh"
fails with this error message:
'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
The recommended fix is to pass the /S option to `cmd.exe` and surround
the entire command-line by an extra set of quotes. And here lies the
rub: for that to work, we have to append an extra quote. At the end of
the command-line. *After* the last argument was appended, if any.
This commit supports that use case by introducing the option
"APPEND_QUOTE". The intended usage is to use the following string
resource:
SHOW_CONSOLE=1 APPEND_QUOTE=1
@@COMSPEC@@ /S /C \"\"@@EXEPATH@@\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe\" --login -i
(Note that there are only three quotes on that command-line, the fourth
to be appended due to the `APPEND_QUOTE` setting.)

The Git wrapper is also used as a redirector for Git for Windows'
bin\bash.exe dropin: for backwards-compatibility, bin\bash.exe exists
and simply sets up the environment variables before executing the
*real* bash.
However, due to our logic to use the directory in which the `.exe`
lives as top-level directory (or one directory below for certain, known
basenames such as `git.exe` and `gitk.exe`), the `PATH` environment
variable was prefixed with the `/bin/bin` and `/bin/mingw/bin`
directories -- which makes no sense.
Instead, let's just auto-detect the top-level directory in the common

Windows 7 allows users to pin running applications to the task bar. By

The idea of `git-bash.exe` automatically running the Git Bash in the
home directory was to support the start menu item `Git Bash` (which
should not start in C:\Program Files\Git, but in $HOME), and to make
that behavior consistent with double-clicking in `git-bash.exe`
portable Git.
However, it turns out that one of the main use cases of portable Git is
to run the Git Bash in GitHub for Windows, and it should start in the
top-level directory of a given project. Therefore, the concern to keep
double-clicking `git-bash.exe` consistent with the start menu item was
actually unfounded.
As to the start menu item: it can easily be changed to launch
`git-bash.exe` with a command-line option. So let's introduce the
--cd-to-home option for that purpose.
As a bonus, the Git wrapper can now also serve as a drop-in redirector
/bin/bash.exe to provide backwards-compatibility of Git for Windows 2.x
with 1.x: some 3rd-party software expects to find that executable there,
and it also expects it to leave the working directory unchanged.

By embedding string resources into the Git wrapper executable, it
can be configured to execute custom commands (after setting up the
environment in the way required for Git for Windows to work properly).
This feature is used e.g. for `git-bash.exe` which launches a Bash in
the configured terminal window.
Here, we introduce command-line options to override those string
resources. That way, a user can call `git-bash.exe` (which is a copy of
the Git wrapper with `usr\bin\bash.exe --login -i` embedded as string
resource) with command-line options that will override what command is
run.
ConEmu, for example, might want to call
...\git-bash.exe --needs-console --no-hide --minimal-search-path ^
--command=usr\\bin\\bash.exe --login -i
In particular, the following options are supported now:
--command=<command-line>::
Executes `<command-line>` instead of the embedded string resource
--[no-]minimal-search-path::
Ensures that only `/cmd/` is added to the `PATH` instead of
`/mingw??/bin` and `/usr/bin/`, or not
--[no-]needs-console::
Ensures that there is a Win32 console associated with the spawned
process, or not
--[no-]hide::

Using different code pages for console input (SetConsoleCP()) and console
output (SetConsoleOutputCP()) doesn't make much sense and may be hazardous
for native Windows programs.
Git uses UTF-8 internally, so it actually needs 'SetConsoleCP(CP_UTF8)'
rather than 'SetConsoleCP(GetACP())'. However, ReadFile() / ReadConsoleA()
are broken with CP_UTF8 (and thus any higher level APIs such as fgetc(),
getchar() etc.). Unicode-aware console input would have to be implemented
via mingw_* wrappers using ReadConsoleW(). As Git typically launches an
editor for anything more complex than ASCII-only, yes/no-style questions,
this is currently not a problem.
Drop 'SetConsoleCP()' from the git-wrapper, so that input and output code
pages stay in sync.

With a recent change in Cygwin (which is the basis of the msys2-runtime),
a GUI process desiring to launch an MSys2 executable needs to allocate a
console for the new process (otherwise the process will just hang on
Windows XP). _Git Bash_ is such a GUI process.
While at it, use correct handles when inheriting the stdin/stdout/stderr
handles: `GetStdHandle()` returns NULL for invalid handles, but the
STARTUPINFO must specify `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE` instead.
Originally, the hope was that only this `NULL` => `INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE`
conversion would be required to fix the Windows XP issue mentioned above
(extensive debugging revealed that starting _Git Bash_ on Windows XP would
yield invalid handles for `stdin` and `stderr`, but *not* for `stdout`).
However, while _Git Bash_ eventually showed a `mintty` when not allocating
a new console, it took around one second to show it, and several seconds
to close it. So let's just include both fixes.

When *Git for Windows* is installed into a directory that has spaces in

The idea of having the Git wrapper in the /cmd/ directory is to allow
adding only a *tiny* set of executables to the search path, to allow
minimal interference with other software applications. It is quite
likely, for example, that other software applications require their own
version of zlib1.dll and would not be overly happy to find the version
Git for Windows ships.
The /cmd/ directory also gives us the opportunity to let the Git wrapper
handle the `gitk` script. It is a Tcl/Tk script that is not recognized
by Windows, therefore calling `gitk` in `cmd.exe` would not work, even
if we add all of Git for Windows' bin/ directories.
So let's use the /cmd/ directory instead of adding /mingw??/bin/ and
/usr/bin/ to the PATH when launching Git CMD.
The way we implemented Git CMD is to embed the appropriate command line
as string resource into a copy of the Git wrapper. Therefore we extended
that syntax to allow for configuring a minimal search path.

We recently added the ability to configure copies of the Git wrapper to
launch custom command-lines, configured via plain old Windows resources.
The main user is Git for Windows' `git-bash.exe`, of course. When the
user double-clicks the `git bash` icon, it makes sense to start the Bash
in the user's home directory.
Third-party software, such as TortoiseGit or GitHub for Windows, may
want to start the Git Bash in another directory, though.
Now, when third-party software wants to call Git, they already have to
construct a command-line, and can easily pass a command-line option
`--no-cd` (which this commit introduces), and since that option is not
available when the user double-clicks an icon on the Desktop or in the

The Git wrapper does one thing, and does it well: setting up the
environment required to run Git and its scripts, and then hand off to
another program.
We already do this for the Git executable itself; in Git for Windows'
context, we have exactly the same need also when calling the Git Bash or
Git CMD. However, both are tied to what particular shell environment you
use, though: MSys or MSys2 (or whatever else cunning developers make
work for them). This means that the Git Bash and Git CMD need to be
compiled in the respective context (e.g. when compiling the
mingw-w64-git package in the MSys2 context).
Happily, Windows offers a way to configure compiled executables:
resources. So let's just look whether the current executable has a
string resource and use it as the command-line to execute after the
environment is set up. To support MSys2's Git Bash better (where
`mintty` should, but might not, be available), we verify whether the
specified executable exists, and keep looking for string resources if it
does not.
For even more flexibility, we expand environment variables specified as
`@@<VARIABLE-NAME>@@`, and for convenience `@@EXEPATH@@` expands into
the directory in which the executable resides.

Git started out as a bunch of separate commands, in the true Unix spirit.
Over time, more and more functionality was shared between the different
Git commands, though, so it made sense to introduce the notion of
"builtins": programs that are actually integrated into the main Git
executable.
These builtins can be called in two ways: either by specifying a
subcommand as the first command-line argument, or -- for backwards
compatibility -- by calling the Git executable hardlinked to a filename
of the form "git-<subcommand>". Example: the "log" command can be called
via "git log <parameters>" or via "git-log <parameters>". The latter
form is actually deprecated and only supported for scripts; calling
"git-log" interactively will not even work by default because the
libexec/git-core/ directory is not in the PATH.
All of this is well and groovy as long as hard links are supported.
Sadly, this is not the case in general on Windows. So it actually hurts
quite a bit when you have to fall back to copying all of git.exe's
currently 7.5MB 109 times, just for backwards compatibility.
The simple solution would be to install really trivial shell script
wrappers in place of the builtins:
for builtin in $BUILTINS
do
rm git-$builtin.exe
printf '#!/bin/sh\nexec git %s "$@"\n' $builtin > git-builtin
chmod a+x git-builtin
done
This method would work -- even on Windows because Git for Windows ships a
full-fledged Bash. However, the Windows Bash comes at a price: it needs to
spin up a full-fledged POSIX emulation layer everytime it starts.
Therefore, the shell script solution would incur a significant performance
penalty.
The best solution the Git for Windows team could come up with is to extend
the Git wrapper -- that is needed to call Git from cmd.exe anyway, and
that weighs in with a scant 19KB -- to also serve as a drop-in replacement
for the builtins so that the following workaround is satisfactory:
for builtin in $BUILTINS
do
cp git-wrapper.exe git-$builtin.exe
done
This commit allows for this, by extending the module file parsing to
turn builtin command names like `git-log.exe ...` into calls to the main
Git executable: `git.exe log ...`.

In Git for Windows' SDK, the tests are run using a Bash that relies on
the POSIX emulation layer MSYS2 (itself a friendly fork of Cygwin). As
such, paths in tests can be POSIX paths. As soon as those paths are
passed to git.exe (which does *not* use the POSIX emulation layer),
those paths are converted into Windows paths, though. This happens
for command-line parameters, but not when reading, say, config variables.
To help with that, the `pwd` command is overridden to return the Windows
path of the current working directory when testing Git on Windows.
However, when talking to anything using the POSIX emulation layer, it is
really much better to use POSIX paths because Windows paths contain a
colon after the drive letter that will easily be mistaken for the common
separator in path lists.
So let's just use the $PWD variable when the POSIX path is needed.

On Windows, there are no POSIX paths, only Windows ones (an absolute
Windows path looks like "C:\Program Files\Git\ReleaseNotes.html", under
most circumstances, forward slashes are also allowed and synonymous to
backslashes).
So when a POSIX shell (such as MSYS2's Bash, which is used by Git for
Windows to execute all those shell scripts that are part of Git) passes
a POSIX path to test-path-utils.exe (which is not POSIX-aware), the path
is translated into a Windows path. For example, /etc/profile becomes
C:/Program Files/Git/etc/profile.
This path translation poses a problem when passing the root directory as
parameter to test-path-utils.exe, as it is not well defined whether the
translated root directory should end in a slash or not. MSys1 stripped
the trailing slash, but MSYS2 does not.
Originally, the Git for Windows project patched MSYS2's runtime to
accomodate Git's regression test, but we really should do it the other
way round.
To work with both of MSys1's and MSYS2's behaviors, we simply test what
the current system does in the beginning of t0060-path-utils.sh and then
adjust the expected longest ancestor length accordingly.
It looks quite a bit tricky what we actually do in this patch: first, we
adjust the expected length for the trailing slash we did not originally
expect (subtracting one). So far, so good.
But now comes the part where things work in a surprising way: when the
expected length was 0, the prefix to match is the root directory. If the
root directory is converted into a path with a trailing slash, however,
we know that the logic in longest_ancestor_length() cannot match: to
avoid partial matches of the last directory component, it verifies that
the character after the matching prefix is a slash (but because the
slash was part of the matching prefix, the next character cannot be a
slash). So the return value is -1. Alas, this is exactly what the
expected length is after subtracting the value of $rootslash! So we skip
adding the $rootoff value in that case (and only in that case).
Directories other than the root directory are handled fine (as they are
specified without a trailing slash, something not possible for the root
directory, and MSYS2 converts them into Windows paths that also lack
trailing slashes), therefore we do not need any more special handling.

When the rename() function tries to move a directory it fails if the
target directory exists. It should check if it can delete the (possibly
empty) target directory and then try again to move the directory.
This partially fixes t9100-git-svn-basic.sh.
