A string of the form "@/abcd" is considered a file path
by the msys layer and therefore translated to a windows path.
Here the trick is to double the slashes.
The msys patch translation can be studied with the following
test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
unsigned int i;
for(i=1; i < argc; i++)
printf("argv[%d]=%s\n",i, argv[i]);
exit(0);
}

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.)

The test separator char is a colon which means any absolute paths on windows

Apparently the signal handling is not quite correct in the fsckobject
handling (most likely we rely on a side effect that lets us still output
some message after receiving a signal 13 but in the BuildHive setup this
fails intermittently).
As a consequence, the push in t5504 does fail as expected, but fails to
output anything (unexpected). Since this is good enough for now, let's
handle an empty output as success, too.

This happens only when the corresponding commits are not exported in
the current fast-export run. This can happen either when the relevant

We avoid setting core.worktree when the repository location is the

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.

Accessing the Windows console through the special CONIN$ / CONOUT$ devices
doesn't work properly for non-ASCII usernames an passwords.
It also doesn't work for terminal emulators that hide the native console
window (such as mintty), and 'TERM=xterm*' is not necessarily a reliable
indicator for such terminals.
The new shell_prompt() function, on the other hand, works fine for both
MSys1 and MSys2, in native console windows as well as mintty, and properly
supports Unicode. It just needs bash on the path (for 'read -s', which is
bash-specific).
On Windows, try to use the shell to read from the terminal. If that fails
with ENOENT (i.e. bash was not found), use CONIN/OUT as fallback.
Note: To test this, create a UTF-8 credential file with non-ASCII chars,
e.g. in git-bash: 'echo url=http://täst.com > cred.txt'. Then in git-cmd,
'git credential fill <cred.txt' works (shell version), while calling git
without the git-wrapper (i.e. 'mingw64\bin\git credential fill <cred.txt')
mangles non-ASCII chars in both console output and input.

'xterm_prompt' is not xterm-specific, change function name and error

Reduce shell invocations by chaining commands together.
Use 'echo' instead of 'printf \\n'.
Use 'read -s' instead of 'stty [-]echo', because we don't have 'stty'
in old msysgit.
Use 'bash' instead of 'sh' as 'read -s' is bash-specific (in case we
ever switch to dash or some other POSIX-only shell).

Adjust the commit message with the following paragraph:
The most prominent user of `git_terminal_prompt()` is certainly
`git-remote-https.exe`. It is an interesting use case because both
`stdin` and `stdout` are redirected when Git calls said executable, yet
it still wants to access the terminal.
When running inside a `mintty`, the terminal is not accessible to the
`git-remote-https.exe` program, though, because it is a MinGW program
and the `mintty` terminal is not backed by a Win32 console.
To solve that problem, we simply call out to the shell -- which is an
*MSys2* program and can therefore access `/dev/tty`.
This branch wants to be merged into the git-wrapper branch; it fixes an
issue with the way we called the MSys2 terminal `mintty` from the GUI
application `git-bash.exe`.

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.

With the resource-driven command-line configuration, we introduced the
option to ensure that only the PATH environment variable is edited only
minimally, i.e. only /cmd/ is added (as appropriate for _Git CMD_).
We are about to add another option, so let's refactor the equivalent of
Git's `strip_prefix()` function; It is not *quite* the same because we
have to `memmove()` the remainder to the beginning of the buffer.

A typical setup under Windows is to set core.eol to CRLF, and text
files are marked as "text" in .gitattributes, or core.autocrlf is
set to true.
After 4d4813a5 "git blame" no longer works as expected for such a
set-up. Every line is annotated as "Not Committed Yet", even though
the working directory is clean. This is because the commit removed
the conversion in blame.c for all files, with or without CRLF in the
repo.
Having files with CRLF in the repo and core.autocrlf=input is a
temporary situation, and the files, if committed as is, will be
normalized in the repo, which _will_ be a notable change. Blaming
them with "Not Committed Yet" is the right result. Revert commit
4d4813a5 which was a misguided attempt to "solve" a non-problem.
Add two test cases in t8003 to verify the correct CRLF conversion.
