This topic branch allows us to specify absolute paths without the drive
prefix e.g. when cloning.
Example:
C:\Users\me> git clone https://github.com/git/git \upstream-git
This will clone into a new directory C:\upstream-git, in line with how
Windows interprets absolute paths.

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.

Previously, we only ever declared a target Windows version if compiling
with Visual C.
Which meant that we were relying on the MinGW headers to guess which
Windows version we want to target...
Let's be explicit about it, in particular because we actually want to
bump the target Windows version to Vista (which we will do in the next
commit).

Windows Vista (and later) actually have a working poll(), but we still
cannot use it because it only works on sockets.
So let's detect when we are targeting Windows Vista and undefine those
constants, and define `pollfd` so that we can declare our own pollfd
struct.
We also need to make sure that we override those constants *after*
`winsock2.h` has been `#include`d (otherwise we would not really
override those constants).

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.

A very common assumption in Git's source code base is that
offset_1st_component() returns either 0 for relative paths, or 1 for
absolute paths that start with a slash. In other words, the return value
is either 0 or points just after the dir separator.
This assumption is not fulfilled when calling offset_1st_component()
e.g. on UNC paths on Windows, e.g. "//my-server/my-share". In this case,
offset_1st_component() returns the length of the entire string (which is
correct, because stripping the last "component" would not result in a
valid directory), yet the return value still does not point just after a
dir separator.
This assumption is most prominently seen in the
setup_git_directory_gently_1() function, where we want to append a
".git" component and simply assume that there is already a dir
separator. In the UNC example given above, this assumption is incorrect.
As a consequence, Git will fail to handle a worktree at the top of a UNC
share correctly.
Let's fix this by adding a dir separator specifically for that case: we
found that there is no first component in the path and it does not end
in a dir separator? Then add it.

Implement pthread_cond_t with Win32 CONDITION_VARIABLE
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
On Windows, there are several categories of absolute paths. One such
category starts with a backslash and is implicitly relative to the
drive associated with the current working directory. Example:
c:
git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W
should clone into C:\G4W.
There is currently a problem with that, in that mingw_mktemp() does not
expect the _wmktemp() function to prefix the absolute path with the
drive prefix, and as a consequence, the resulting path does not fit into
the originally-passed string buffer. The symptom is a "Result too large"
error.

This is a brown paper bag. When adding the tests, we actually failed
to verify that the config variable is heeded in git-init at all. And
when changing the original patch that marked the .git/ directory as
hidden after reading the config, it was lost on this developer that
the new code would use the hide_dotfiles variable before the config
was read.
The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before*
creating the .git/ directory.

Git for Windows ships with its own Perl interpreter, and insists on

launching Git.
Let's just unset that environment variables when spawning processes.

config setting `core.unsetenvvars` that allows specifying a
comma-separated list of names to unset before spawning processes.

The MSYS2 runtime does its best to emulate the command-line wildcard
expansion and de-quoting which would be performed by the calling Unix
shell on Unix systems.
Those Unix shell quoting rules differ from the quoting rules applying to
Windows' cmd and Powershell, making it a little awkward to quote
command-line parameters properly when spawning other processes.
In particular, git.exe passes arguments to subprocesses that are *not*
intended to be interpreted as wildcards, and if they contain
backslashes, those are not to be interpreted as escape characters, e.g.
when passing Windows paths.
Note: this is only a problem when calling MSYS2 executables, not when
calling MINGW executables such as git.exe. However, we do call MSYS2
executables frequently, most notably when setting the use_shell flag in
the child_process structure.
There is no elegant way to determine whether the .exe file to be
executed is an MSYS2 program or a MINGW one. But since the use case of
passing a command line through the shell is so prevalent, we need to
work around this issue at least when executing sh.exe.
Let's introduce an ugly, hard-coded test whether argv[0] is "sh", and
whether it refers to the MSYS2 Bash, to determine whether we need to
quote the arguments differently than usual.
That still does not fix the issue completely, but at least it is
something.
Incidentally, this also fixes the problem where `git clone \\server\repo`
failed due to incorrect handling of the backslashes when handing the path
to the git-upload-pack process.
We need to take care to quote not only whitespace, but also curly
brackets. As aliases frequently go through the MSYS2 Bash, and
as aliases frequently get parameters such as HEAD@{yesterday}, let's
make sure that this does not regress by adding a test case for that.

Due to a quirk in Git's method to spawn git-upload-pack, there is a
problem when passing paths with backslashes in them: Git will force the
command-line through the shell, which has different quoting semantics in
Git for Windows (being an MSYS2 program) than regular Win32 executables
such as git.exe itself.
The symptom is that the first of the two backslashes in UNC paths of the
form \\myserver\folder\repository.git is *stripped off*.

This branch adds back the scripted versions, then adds the option to
use the builtin versions of `stash` and `rebase` by setting
`stash.useBuiltin=true` and `rebase.useBuiltin=true`, respectively,
(the latter already worked for the top-level `git rebase` command and
the `--am` backend, and now it also works for the interactive backend).

The upcoming Git for Windows v2.19.0 wants to ship with the builtin
versions of stash, rebase and rebase -i. The reason: these are just *so
much faster*: t3400 and t3404 run about 60-70 percent faster, and t3903
even more than 80% faster.
However, these are still all pretty fresh, still being reviewed and
iterated on the Git mailing list.
So let's try to give users a way to test these (or to boldly use them
for their mission-critical tasks, as this here developer plans on
doing), but stay with the safe option by default: use the scripted
versions (which might be slow, but they are well tested).

We recently converted the `git stash` command from Unix shell scripts
to builtins.
Just like we have `rebase.useBuiltin` to fall back to the scripted
rebase, to give end users a way out when they discover a bug in the
builtin command, this commit adds support for `stash.useBuiltin`.
This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to ship the builtin
stash earlier than core Git: Git for Windows v2.19.0 will come with
the option of a drastically faster (if a lot less battle-tested)
`git stash`.
As the file name `git-stash` is already in use, let's rename the
scripted backend to `git-legacy-stash`.
To make the test suite pass with `stash.useBuiltin=false`, this commit
also backports rudimentary support for `-q` (but only *just* enough
to appease the test suite), and adds a super-ugly hack to force exit
code 129 for `git stash -h`.

We recently converted both the `git rebase` and the `git rebase -i`
command from Unix shell scripts to builtins.
The former has a safety valve allowing to fall back to the scripted
`rebase`, just in case that there is a bug in the builtin `rebase`:
setting the config variable `rebase.useBuiltin` to `false` will
fall back to using the scripted version.
The latter did not have such a safety hatch.
Let's reinstate the scripted interactive rebase backend so that `rebase.useBuiltin=false` will not use the builtin interactive rebase,
just in case that an end user runs into a bug with the builtin version
and needs to get out of the fix really quickly.
This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to ship the builtin
rebase/interactive rebase earlier than core Git: Git for Windows
v2.19.0 will come with the option of a drastically faster (if a lot
less battle-tested) `git rebase`/`git rebase -i`.
As the file name `git-rebase--interactive` is already in use, let's
rename the scripted backend to `git-legacy-rebase--interactive`.
A couple of additional touch-ups are needed (such as teaching the
builtin `rebase--interactive`, which assumed the role of the
`rebase--helper`, to perform the two tricks to skip the unnecessary
picks and to generate a new todo list) to make things work again.

This patch teaches the builtin rebase to avoid the scripted --am backend
and call `git format-patch` and `git am` directly.
Meaning: apart from the --merge and the --preserve-merges backends, `git
rebase` is now implemented in pure C, with no need to ask the Unix shell
interpreter for help.
This brings us really close to a fully builtin `git rebase`: the
--preserve-merges mode is about to be deprecated (as soon as the
--rebase-merges mode has proven stable and robust enough), and there are
plans to scrap the `git-rebase--merge` backend in favor of teaching the
interactive rebase enough tricks to run the --merge mode, too.
