caf209e5d1 msvc: provide a main() wrapper similar to mingw_main()
The MINGW version of the main() wrapper gets away with declaring symbols
that were intentionally not exported. However, some of these symbols do
not actually exist in MSVC's UCRT.

So let's add an MSVC version of the main() wrapper that uses wmain() and
imports the UNICODE argv and environment. While at it, we pass our UTF-8
version of ARGV to the real main -- rather than overwriting __argv as is
done in the MINGW Version.

2001ab4ae5 msvc: define O_ACCMODE
This constant is not defined in MSVC's headers.

In UCRT's fcntl.h, _O_RDONLY, _O_WRONLY and _O_RDWR are defined as 0, 1
and 2, respectively. Yes, that means that UCRT breaks with the tradition
that O_RDWR == O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY.

It is a perfectly legal way to define those constants, though, therefore
we need to take care of defining O_ACCMODE accordingly.

This is particularly important in order to keep our "open() can set
errno to EISDIR" emulation working: it tests that (flags & O_ACCMODE) is
not identical to O_RDONLY before going on to test specifically whether
the file for which open() reported EACCES is, in fact, a directory.

5972fee6b5 msvc: add NuGet scripts for building with VS2015
This commit contains a GNU Makefile and NuGet configuration scripts to
download and install the various third-party libraries that we will need
to build/link with when using VS2015 to build Git.

The file "compat/vcbuild/README_VS2015.txt" contains instructions for
using this.

In this commit, "compat/vcbuild/Makefile" contains hard-coded version
numbers of the packages we require.  These are set to the current
versions as of the time of this commit.  We use "nuget restore" to
install them explicitly using a "package.config".  A future improvement
would try to use some of the automatic package management functions and
eliminate the need to specify exact versions.  I tried, but could not
get this to work.  NuGet was happy dowload "minimum requirements" rather
than "lastest" for dependencies -- and only look at one package at a
time.  For example, both curl and openssl depend upon zlib and have
different minimums.  It was unclear which version of zlib would be
installed and seemed to be dependent on the order of the top-level
packages.  So, I'm skipping that for now.

We need to be very precise when specifying NuGet package versions: while
nuget.exe auto-completes a version, say, 1.0.2 to 1.0.2.0, we will want
to parse packages.config ourselves, to generate the Visual Studio
solution, and there we need the exact version number to be able to
generate the exact path to the correct .targets file.

> stat():  stats the file pointed to by path and fills in buf.
> lstat(): is identical to stat(), except that if path is a symbolic link,

stat() should always return the statistics of the file or directory a
symbolic link is pointing to. The lstat() function is used to get the
stats for the symlink. Hence the check should not be there.

f51f074d8e mingw: keep trailing slashes for _wchdir() and readlink()
This is needed so that `_wchdir()` can be used with drive root
directories, e.g. C:\ (`_wchdir("C:")` fails to switch the directory
to the root directory).

This fixes https://github.com/msysgit/git/issues/359 (in Git for Windows
2.x only, though).

Likewise, `readlink()`'s semantics require a trailing slash for symbolic
links pointing to directories. Otherwise all checked out symbolic links
pointing to directories would be marked as modified even directly after a
fresh clone.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/210

5fdff93f50 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.

c820258d01 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.

Note: GetFinalPathNameByHandleW() was introduced with symlink support in
Windows Vista. Thus, for compatibility with Windows XP, we need to load it
dynamically and behave gracefully if it isnt's available.

1d457db578 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).

f8e41db38a Win32: factor out retry logic
The retry pattern is duplicated in three places. It also seems to be too
hard to use: mingw_unlink() and mingw_rmdir() duplicate the code to retry,
and both of them do so incompletely. They also do not restore errno if the

Introduce a retry_ask_yes_no() helper function that handles retry with
small delay, asking the user, and restoring errno.

file is locked exclusively).

mingw_rmdir: include special error handling in the retry loop.

87114b2513 Win32: let mingw_lstat() error early upon problems with reparse points
When obtaining lstat information for reparse points, we need to call
FindFirstFile() in addition to GetFileInformationEx() to obtain the type
of the reparse point (symlink, mount point etc.). However, currently there
is no error handling whatsoever if FindFirstFile() fails.

Call FindFirstFile() before modifying the stat *buf output parameter and
error out if the call fails.

Note: The FindFirstFile() return value includes all the data that we get
from GetFileAttributesEx(), so we could replace GetFileAttributesEx() with
FindFirstFile(). We don't do that because GetFileAttributesEx() is about
twice as fast for single files. I.e. we only pay the extra cost of calling
FindFirstFile() in the rare case that we encounter a reparse point.

Note: The indentation of the remaining reparse point code will be fixed in
the next patch.

df26965b24 Win32: implement stat() with symlink support
With respect to symlinks, the current stat() implementation is almost the
same as lstat(): except for the file type (st_mode & S_IFMT), it returns
information about the link rather than the target.

Implement stat by opening the file with as little permissions as possible
and calling GetFileInformationByHandle on it. This way, all link resoltion
is handled by the Windows file system layer.

If symlinks are disabled, use lstat() as before, but fail with ELOOP if a
symlink would have to be resolved.

ccb0de62f7 Windows: force-recompile git.res for differing architectures
When git.rc is compiled into git.res, the result is actually dependent
on the architecture. That is, you cannot simply link a 32-bit git.res
into a 64-bit git.exe.

Therefore, to allow 32-bit and 64-bit builds in the same directory, we
let git.res depend on GIT-PREFIX so that it gets recompiled when
compiling for a different architecture (this works because the exec path
changes based on the architecture: /mingw32/libexec/git-core for 32-bit
and /mingw64/libexec/git-core for 64-bit).

62018dd37a compat/terminal.c: only use the Windows console if bash 'read -r' fails
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.

attached to a Win32 Console. However, this is not the case with terminal
windows other than `cmd.exe`'s, e.g. with MSys2's own `mintty`.

Non-cmd terminals such as `mintty` still have to have a Win32 Console
to be proper console programs, but have to hide the Win32 Console to
be able to provide more flexibility (such as being resizeable not only
vertically but also horizontally). By writing to that Win32 Console,
`git_terminal_prompt()` manages only to send the prompt to nowhere and
to wait for input from a Console to which the user has no access.

This commit introduces a function specifically to support `mintty` -- or
other terminals that are compatible with MSys2's `/dev/tty` emulation. We
use the `TERM` environment variable as an indicator for that: if the value
starts with "xterm" (such as `mintty`'s "xterm_256color"), we prefer to
let `xterm_prompt()` handle the user interaction.

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`.
