for-each-ref: let upstream/push optionally report the remote ref name
There are times when scripts want to know not only the name of the
push branch on the remote, but also the name of the branch as known
by the remote repository.
An example of this is when a tool wants to push to the very same branch
from which it would pull automatically, i.e. the `<remote>` and the `<to>`
in `git push <remote> <from>:<to>` would be provided by
`%(upstream:remotename)` and `%(upstream:remoteref)`, respectively.
This patch offers the new suffix :remoteref for the `upstream` and `push`
atoms, allowing to show exactly that. Example:
$ cat .git/config
...
[remote "origin"]
url = https://where.do.we.come/from
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remote/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
[branch "develop/with/topics"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/develop/with/topics
...
$ git for-each-ref \
--format='%(push) %(push:remoteref)' \
refs/heads
refs/remotes/origin/master refs/heads/master

The implementation chooses *not* to DWIM the push remote if no explicit
push remote was configured; The reason is that it is possible to DWIM this
by using
%(if)%(push:remotename)%(then)
%(push:remotename)
%(else)
%(upstream:remotename)
%(end)
while it would be impossible to "un-DWIM" the information in case the
caller is really only interested in explicit push remotes.
While `:remote` would be shorter, it would also be a bit more ambiguous,
and it would also shut the door e.g. for `:remoteref` (which would
obviously refer to the corresponding ref in the remote repository).
Note: the dashless, non-CamelCased form `:remotename` follows the
example of the `:trackshort` example.

When running an external diff from, say, a diff tool, it is safe to
assume that we want to write the files in question. On Windows, that
means that there cannot be any other process holding an open handle to
said files.
So let's make sure that `git diff` itself is not holding any open handle
to the files in question.

From the documentation of said setting:
This boolean will enable fsync() when writing object files.
This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that
orders data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems
that do not use journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or
that only journal metadata and not file contents (OS X’s HFS+,
or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
The most common file system on Windows (NTFS) does not guarantee that
order, therefore a sudden loss of power (or any other event causing an
unclean shutdown) would cause corrupt files (i.e. files filled with
NULs). Therefore we need to change the default.
Note that the documentation makes it sound as if this causes really bad
performance. In reality, writing loose objects is something that is done
only rarely, and only a handful of files at a time.

- Likewise, you should be able to copy GEN.DEPS\bin\*.dll

"Question?" is maybe not the most informative thing to ask. In the
absence of better information, it is the best we can do, of course.
However, Git for Windows' auto updater just learned the trick to use
git-gui--askyesno to ask the user whether to update now or not. And in
this scripted scenario, we can easily pass a command-line option to
change the window title.
So let's support that with the new `--title <title>` option.

Git for Windows supports the core.longPaths config setting to allow
writing/reading long paths via the \\?\ trick for a long time now.
However, for that support to work, it is absolutely necessary that
git_default_config() is given a chance to parse the config. Otherwise
Git will be non the wiser.
So let's make sure that as many commands that previously failed to
parse the core.* settings now do that, implicitly enabling long path
support in a lot more places.
Note: this is not a perfect solution, and it cannot be, as there is
a chicken-and-egg problem in reading the config itself...

A ton of Git commands simply do not read (or at least parse) the core.*

core.longPaths setting to be read quite early on.
So let's just make sure that all commands read the config and give
platform_core_config() a chance.

`core.longPaths = true`, including `pack-refs`, thereby fixing

A regression was introduced into Git for Windows v2.13.* via a
half-finished refactoring of the refs handling. This refactoring has
been completed in the meantime, but is was only merged into upstream's
`master` branch, i.e. it was not integrated into the maintenance track.
Git for Windows is used quite a bit in enterprise settings, though,
where a large number of refs is quite common, and therefore the
regression really hurts.
So let's take this regression fix earlier than upstream Git.

When locking references in preparation for updating them, we need to
check that none of the newly added references D/F conflict with
existing references (e.g., we don't allow `refs/foo` to be added if
`refs/foo/bar` already exists, or vice versa).
Prior to 524a9fdb51 (refs_verify_refname_available(): use function in
more places, 2017-04-16), conflicts with existing loose references
were checked by looking directly in the filesystem, and then conflicts
with existing packed references were checked by running
`verify_refname_available_dir()` against the packed-refs cache.
But that commit changed the final check to call
`refs_verify_refname_available()` against the *whole* files ref-store,
including both loose and packed references, with the following
comment:
> This means that those callsites now check for conflicts with all
> references rather than just packed refs, but the performance cost
> shouldn't be significant (and will be regained later).
That comment turned out to be too sanguine. User s@kazlauskas.me
reported that fetches involving a very large number of references in
neighboring directories were slowed down by that change.
The problem is that when fetching, each reference is updated
individually, within its own reference transaction. This is done
because some reference updates might succeed even though others fail.
But every time a reference update transaction is finished,
`clear_loose_ref_cache()` is called. So when it is time to update the
next reference, part of the loose ref cache has to be repopulated for
the `refs_verify_refname_available()` call. If the references are all
in neighboring directories, then the cost of repopulating the
reference cache increases with the number of references, resulting in
O(N²) effort.
The comment above also claims that the performance cost "will be
regained later". The idea was that once the packed-refs were finished
being split out into a separate ref-store, we could limit the
`refs_verify_refname_available()` call to the packed references again.
That is what we do now.

One of the tricks that `contrib/workdir/git-new-workdir` plays is to
making `packed-refs` in the new workdir a symlink to the `packed-refs`
file in the original repository. Before
42dfa7ecef ("commit_packed_refs(): use a staging file separate from
the lockfile", 2017-06-23), a lockfile was used as the staging file,
and because the `LOCK_NO_DEREF` was not used, the pointed-to file was
locked and modified.
But after that commit, the staging file was created using a tempfile,
with the end result that rewriting the `packed-refs` file in the
workdir overwrote the symlink rather than the original `packed-refs`
file.
Change `commit_packed_refs()` to use `get_locked_file_path()` to find
the path of the file that it should overwrite. Since that path was
properly resolved when the lockfile was created, this restores the
pre-42dfa7ecef behavior.
Also add a test case to document this use case and prevent a
regression like this from recurring.
