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 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.

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.

To support Git Bash running in a MinTTY, we use a dirty trick to access
the MSYS2 pseudo terminal: we execute a Bash snippet that accesses
/dev/tty.
The idea was to fall back to writing to/reading from CONOUT$/CONIN$ if
that Bash call failed because Bash was not found.
However, we should fall back even in other error conditions, because we
have not successfully read the user input. Let's make it so.

When trying to query the user directly via /dev/tty, both WSL's bash and
BusyBox' bash emulation seem to have problems printing the value that
they just read. The bash just stops in those instances, does not even
execute any commands after the echo command.
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
quietly.

When spawning child processes, we do want them to inherit the standard
handles so that we can talk to them. We do *not* want them to inherit
any other handle, as that would hold a lock to the respective files
(preventing them from being renamed, modified or deleted), and the child
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.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
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).
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
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.

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

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.

When spawning child processes, we really should be careful which file
handles we let them inherit.
This is doubly important on Windows, where we cannot rename, delete, or

When I do git fetch, git call file stats under .git/objects for each
