Since commit 0c499ea60f the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.
Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.
The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from ttps://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to mimic the
functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll to treat sockets as
Installable File System (IFS) handles, calling ReadFile, WriteFile,
DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on them. This approach works well in simple
cases on recent versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns.
In particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write concurrently
on the same socket (from one or more processes) will deadlock in a scenario
where the read waits for a response from the server which is only invoked after
the write. This is what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
codepath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new config option "sendpack.sideband" allows to override the side-band-64k
capability of the server, and thus makes the dump git protocol work.
Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of "sendpack.sideband"
is still true.

The previous implementation said that the filesystem information on
Windows is not reliable to determine whether a file is executable.
To find gather this information it was peeking into the first two bytes
of a file to see whether it looks executable.
Apart from the fact that on Windows executables are usually defined as
such by their extension it lead to slow opening of help file in some
situations.
When you have virus scanner running calling open on an executable file
is a potentially expensive operation. See the following measurements (in
seconds) for example.
With virus scanner running (coldcache):
$ ./a.exe /libexec/git-core/

7ebac8cb94 made launching of .exe
externals work when installed in Unicode paths. But it broke launching
of non-.exe externals, no matter where they were installed. We now
correctly maintain the UTF-8 and UTF-16 paths in tandem in lookup_prog.
This fixes t5526, among others.

If Git were installed in a path containing non-ASCII characters,
commands such as git-am and git-submodule, which are implemented as
externals, would fail to launch with the following error:
> fatal: 'am' appears to be a git command, but we were not
> able to execute it. Maybe git-am is broken?
This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow
missed in 2ee5a1a14a.
Note that the only problem in this function was calling
GetFileAttributes instead of GetFileAttributesW. The calls to access()
were fine because access() is a macro which resolves to mingw_access,
which already handles Unicode correctly. But I changed lookup_prog to
use _waccess directly so that we only convert the path to UTF-16 once.

After importing anything with fast-import, we should always let the
garbage collector do its job, since the objects are written to disk
inefficiently.
This brings down an initial import of http://selenic.com/hg from about
230 megabytes to about 14.
In the future, we may want to make this configurable on a per-remote
basis, or maybe teach fast-import about it in the first place.

As per https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d.aspx:
The set of available locale names, languages, country/region
codes, and code pages includes all those supported by the Windows
NLS API except code pages that require more than two bytes per
character, such as UTF-7 and UTF-8.
Therefore, MinGW gettext cannot cope with UTF-8 at all, because it uses
the Win32 API internally.
However, when the test asks `locale -a` it reports that is_US.utf8 is
available, because that `locale` is actually an *MSys2* program (and MSys2
can cope with UTF-8 alright).
Let's just skip this test for MinGW Git altogether.

There is a MinGW gettext.exe, but still no MinGW locale.exe. Instead the
MSys2 locale.exe kicks in, which corresponds to the MSys2 gettext.exe,
however. Therefore some assumptions of t0200 cannot be fulfilled when
running inside MSys2.

Without this patch, t0027 expects the native end-of-lines to be a single
line feed character. On Windows, however, we set it to a carriage return
character followed by a line feed character. Thus, we have to modify
t0027 to expect different warnings depending on the end-of-line markers.

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.)

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

Along the lines of 05d0e3b and f33946d, use cat instead of echo to avoid

Signed-off-by: Sebastian Schuberth <sschuberth@gmail.com>
Again, avoid using echo (which issues DOS line endings on msysGit) to not mix
with Unix line-endings issued by git built-ins, even if this is at the cost of
calling an external executable (cat) instead of a shell built-in (echo).
When the rename function tries to move a directory it fails if the target
directory exists. It should check if it can delete the (possibly empty)
target directory and then try again to move the directory.

There is a really useful debugging technique developed by Sverre
Rabbelier that inserts "bash &&" somewhere in the test scripts, letting
the developer interact at given points with the current state.
Another debugging technique, used a lot by this here coder, is to run
certain executables via gdb by guarding a "gdb -args" call in
bin-wrappers/git.
Both techniques were disabled by 781f76b1(test-lib: redirect stdin of
tests).
Let's reinstate the ability to run an interactive shell by making the
redirection optional: setting the TEST_NO_REDIRECT environment variable
will skip the redirection.

With MSys2, there is actually an implementation of mkfifo available. The
only problem is that it is only emulating named pipes through the MSys2
runtime; The Win32 API has no idea about named pipes, hence the Git
executable cannot access those pipes either.
The symptom is that Git fails with a '<name>: No such file or directory'
because MSys2 emulates named pipes through special-crafted '.lnk' files.
The solution is to tell the test suite explicitly that we cannot use
named pipes when we want to test a MinGW Git.

MSys2 actually allows to create files or directories whose names contain
tabs, newlines or colors, even if plain Win32 API cannot access them.
As we are using an MSys2 bash to run the tests, such files or
directories are created successfully, but Git has no chance to work with
them because it is a regular Windows program, hence limited by the Win32
API.

With MSys2, the "TZ" environment variable gets filtered out when calling
non-MSys2 executables. The reason is that Windows' time zone handling is
substantially different from the POSIX one.
However, we just taught Git for Windows' fork of the MSys2 runtime to
pass on the timezone in a different environment variable, MSYS2_TZ for
the sole purpose of Git being able to reinterpret it correctly.
