2c8ee1f53c bundle: dup() output descriptor closer to point-of-use
When writing a bundle to a file, the bundle code actually creates
"your.bundle.lock" using our lockfile interface. We feed that output
descriptor to a child git-pack-objects via run-command, which has the
quirk that it closes the output descriptor in the parent.

To avoid confusing the lockfile code (which still thinks the descriptor
is valid), we dup() it, and operate on the duplicate.

However, this has a confusing side effect: after the dup() but before we
call pack-objects, we have _two_ descriptors open to the lockfile. If we
call die() during that time, the lockfile code will try to clean up the
partially-written file. It knows to close() the file before unlinking,
since on some platforms (i.e., Windows) the open file would block the
deletion. But it doesn't know about the duplicate descriptor. On
Windows, triggering an error at the right part of the code will result
in the cleanup failing and the lockfile being left in the filesystem.

We can solve this by moving the dup() much closer to start_command(),
shrinking the window in which we have the second descriptor open. It's
easy to place this in such a way that no die() is possible. We could
still die due to a signal in the exact wrong moment, but we already
tolerate races there (e.g., a signal could come before we manage to put
the file on the cleanup list in the first place).

As a bonus, this shields create_bundle() itself from the duplicate-fd
trick, and we can simplify its error handling (note that the lock
rollback now happens unconditionally, but that's OK; it's a noop if we
didn't open the lock in the first place).

The included test uses an empty bundle to cause a failure at the right
spot in the code, because that's easy to trigger (the other likely
errors are write() problems like ENOSPC).  Note that it would already
pass on non-Windows systems (because they are happy to unlink an
already-open file).

Now that the fscache is single threaded, take advantage of the mem_pool as
the allocator to significantly reduce the cost of allocations and frees.

With the reduced cost of free, in future patches, we can start freeing the
fscache at the end of commands instead of just leaking it.

f3ea036ad3 fscache: update fscache to be thread specific instead of global
The threading model for fscache has been to have a single, global cache.
This puts requirements on it to be thread safe so that callers like
preload-index can call it from multiple threads.  This was implemented
with a single mutex and completion events which introduces contention
between the calling threads.

Simplify the threading model by making fscache thread specific.  This allows
us to remove the global mutex and synchronization events entirely and instead
associate a fscache with every thread that requests one. This works well with
the current multi-threading which divides the cache entries into blocks with
a separate thread processing each block.

At the end of each worker thread, if there is a fscache on the primary
thread, merge the cached results from the worker into the primary thread
cache. This enables us to reuse the cache later especially when scanning for
untracked files.

In testing, this reduced the time spent in preload_index() by about 25% and
also reduced the CPU utilization significantly.  On a repo with ~200K files,
it reduced overall status times by ~12%.

49d2a03e6d t0061: fix with --with-dashes and RUNTIME_PREFIX
When building Git with RUNTIME_PREFIX and starting a test helper from
t/helper/, it fails to detect the system prefix correctly.

This is the reason that the warning

	RUNTIME_PREFIX requested, but prefix computation failed. [...]

to be printed.

In t0061, we did not expect that to happen, and it actually did not
happen in the normal case, because bin-wrappers/test-tool specifically
sets GIT_TEXTDOMAINDIR (and as a consequence, nothing in test-tool wants
to know about the runtime prefix).

However, with --with-dashes, bin-wrappers/test-tool is no longer called,
but t/helper/test-tool is called directly.

So let's just ignore the RUNTIME_PREFIX warning.

47bd3d0c14 ref-filter: don't look for objects when outside of a repository
The command 'git ls-remote --sort=authordate <remote>' segfaults when
run outside of a repository, ever since the introduction of its
'--sort' option in 1fb20dfd8e (ls-remote: create '--sort' option,
2018-04-09).

While in general the 'git ls-remote' command can be run outside of a
repository just fine, its '--sort=<key>' option with certain keys does
require access to the referenced objects.  This sorting is implemented
using the generic ref-filter sorting facility, which already handles
missing objects gracefully with the appropriate 'missing object
deadbeef for HEAD' message.  However, being generic means that it
checks replace refs while trying to retrieve an object, and while
doing so it accesses the 'git_replace_ref_base' variable, which has
not been initialized and is still a NULL pointer when outside of a
repository, thus causing the segfault.

Make ref-filter more careful upfront while parsing the format string,
and make it error out when encountering a format atom requiring object
access when we are not in a repository.  Also add a test to ensure
that 'git ls-remote --sort' fails gracefully when executed outside of
a repository.

04519d7201 rebase: validate -C<n> and --whitespace=<mode> parameters early
It is a good idea to error out early upon seeing, say, `-Cbad`, rather
than starting the rebase only to have the `--am` backend complain later.

Let's do this.

The only options accepting parameters which we pass through to `git am`
(which may, or may not, forward them to `git apply`) are `-C` and
`--whitespace`. The other options we pass through do not accept
parameters, so we do not have to validate them here.

f57696802c rebase: really just passthru the git am options
Currently, we parse the options intended for `git am` as if we wanted to
handle them in `git rebase`, and then reconstruct them painstakingly to
define the `git_am_opt` variable.

However, there is a much better way (that I was unaware of, at the time
when I mentored Pratik to implement these options): OPT_PASSTHRU_ARGV.
It is intended for exactly this use case, where command-line options
want to be parsed into a separate `argv_array`.

Let's use this feature.

Incidentally, this also allows us to address a bug discovered by Phillip
Wood, where the built-in rebase failed to understand that the `-C`
option takes an optional argument.

a180859f0f mingw: try to create symlinks without elevated permissions
With Windows 10 Build 14972 in Developer Mode, a new flag is supported
by CreateSymbolicLink() to create symbolic links even when running
outside of an elevated session (which was previously required).

This new flag is called SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE and
has the numeric value 0x02.

Previous Windows 10 versions will not understand that flag and return an
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER, therefore we have to be careful to try passing
that flag only when the build number indicates that it is supported.

For more information about the new flag, see this blog post:
https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/12/02/symlinks-windows-10/

This patch is loosely based on the patch submitted by Samuel D. Leslie
as https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/1184.

ffd15163e1 Win32: symlink: add support for symlinks to directories
Symlinks on Windows have a flag that indicates whether the target is a file
or a directory. Symlinks of wrong type simply don't work. This even affects
core Win32 APIs (e.g. DeleteFile() refuses to delete directory symlinks).

However, CreateFile() with FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS doesn't seem to care.
Check the target type by first creating a tentative file symlink, opening
it, and checking the type of the resulting handle. If it is a directory,
recreate the symlink with the directory flag set.

It is possible to create symlinks before the target exists (or in case of
symlinks to symlinks: before the target type is known). If this happens,
create a tentative file symlink and postpone the directory decision: keep
a list of phantom symlinks to be processed whenever a new directory is
created in mingw_mkdir().

Limitations: This algorithm may fail if a link target changes from file to
directory or vice versa, or if the target directory is created in another
process.

d81071591d Win32: implement readlink()
Implement readlink() by reading NTFS reparse points. Works for symlinks
and directory junctions. If symlinks are disabled, fail with ENOSYS.

cd69bab78b Win32: mingw_chdir: change to symlink-resolved directory
If symlinks are enabled, resolve all symlinks when changing directories,
as required by POSIX.

Note: Git's real_path() function bases its link resolution algorithm on
this property of chdir(). Unfortunately, the current directory on Windows
is limited to only MAX_PATH (260) characters. Therefore using symlinks and
long paths in combination may be problematic.

4dcfe13074 Win32: mingw_rename: support renaming symlinks
MSVCRT's _wrename() cannot rename symlinks over existing files: it returns
success without doing anything. Newer MSVCR*.dll versions probably do not
have this problem: according to CRT sources, they just call MoveFileEx()
with the MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED flag.

Get rid of _wrename() and call MoveFileEx() with proper error handling.

d2a5387dfc Win32: mingw_unlink: support symlinks to directories
_wunlink() / DeleteFileW() refuses to delete symlinks to directories. If
_wunlink() fails with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, try _wrmdir() as well.

e2e52f1d2f Win32: change default of 'core.symlinks' to false
Symlinks on Windows don't work the same way as on Unix systems. E.g. there
are different types of symlinks for directories and files, creating
symlinks requires administrative privileges etc.

By default, disable symlink support on Windows. I.e. users explicitly have
to enable it with 'git config [--system|--global] core.symlinks true'.

The test suite ignores system / global config files. Allow testing *with*
symlink support by checking if native symlinks are enabled in MSys2 (via
'MSYS=winsymlinks:nativestrict').

Reminder: This would need to be changed if / when we find a way to run the
test suite in a non-MSys-based shell (e.g. dash).
