This topic branch teaches the project generator to generate a Visual
Studio solution, ready to be opened in Visual Studio 2010 or later.
The idea, of course, is to let some automatic build job generate and
commit the project files with
make MSVC=1 vcxproj
and then (force-)push to a special-purpose branch.
The major part of this branch thicket concerns itself not only with
generating the Visual Studio project files, but making sure that the
user can then run the test suite from a regular Git Bash (i.e. *not*
requiring a Git for Windows SDK), e.g. by running
cd t
prove --timer --jobs 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh

With the recent update in efee955 (gpg-interface: check gpg signature
creation status, 2016-06-17), we ask GPG to send all status updates to
stderr, and then catch the stderr in an strbuf.
But GPG might fail, and send error messages to stderr. And we simply
do not show them to the user.
Even worse: this swallows any interactive prompt for a passphrase. And
detaches stderr from the tty so that the passphrase cannot be read.
So while the first problem could be fixed (by printing the captured
stderr upon error), the second problem cannot be easily fixed, and
presents a major regression.
So let's just revert commit efee9553a4.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/871

For regular debugging, it is pretty helpful when a debug assertion in a
running application triggers a window that offers to start the debugger.
However, when running the test suite, it is not so helpful, in
particular when the debug assertions are then suppressed anyway because
we disable the invalid parameter checking (via invalidcontinue.obj, see
the comment in config.mak.uname about that object for more information).
So let's simply disable that window in Debug Mode (it is already
disabled in Release Mode).

The entire idea of generating the VS solution makes only sense if we
generate it via Continuous Integration; otherwise potential users would
still have to download the entire Git for Windows SDK.
So let's just add a target in the Makefile that can be used to generate
said solution; The generated files will then be committed so that they
can be pushed to a branch ready to check out by Visual Studio users.
To make things even more useful, we also generate and commit other files
that are required to run the test suite, such as templates and
bin-wrappers: with this, developers can run the test suite in a regular
Git Bash (that is part of a regular Git for Windows installation) after
building the solution in Visual Studio.

When building with Microsoft Visual C, we use NuGet to acquire the

Microsoft flipped the Windows Safe Exception Handling default
in VS2013 so that zlib became unacceptable to certain OS versions
(Vista and subsequent 32-bit OS's) without the addition of
the option -SAFESEH:NO.
Provide a switch to disable the Safe Exception Handler when required.
The option ImageHasSafeExceptionHandlers for VS2013 is not available in
earlier versions, so use the SAFESEH:NO linker flag. See

This has only had limited testing due to the lack of a suitable system.

Detect the 'git' project and place it the head of the apps list, rather
than the tail.

"In the solution file, there are a list of pseudo-XML "Project"

I just rearranged the order in the file and it’s good."
"just moving the pseudo-xml isn't enough. You also have to move the

Visual Studio has this very neat feature that you can get dependencies in
the form of NuGet packages, and even further: you can specify in a project
what NuGet packages it needs. These dependencies can then be fetched via
right-clicking the solution in the Solution Explorer and clicking the
"Restore NuGet Packages" entry.
This feature is so neat, in fact, that we want to support it in Git for
Windows. The idea is that we will be able to provide developers with a
checkout of the Git sources that can be built outside of the Git for
Windows SDK, using *only* Visual Studio.

The .sln/.vcproj files were used to define projects up until Visual
Studio 2008, but starting with Visual Studio 2010 the project
definitions are stored in .sln/.vcxproj files (which can also be used
by the MSBuild system).
Let's just copy-edit the generator of the .vcproj files to a new
generator that produces .vcxproj files directly, without forcing Visual
Studio to upgrade the project definitions.

With the recent changes to allow building with MSVC=1, we now pass the
/OPT:REF option to the compiler. This confuses the parser that wants to
turn the output of a dry run into project definitions for QMake and Visual

dash, so that it passes through options that start with a slash, too.

Git's test suite shows tons of breakages unless Git is compiled
*without* NO_ICONV. That means, in turn, that we need to generate
build definitions *with* libiconv, which in turn implies that we
have to handle the -liconv option properly.

Rather than swallowing the errors, it is better to have them in a file.
To make it obvious what this is about, use the file name
'msvc-build-makedryerrors.txt'.
Further, if the output is empty, simply delete that file. As we target
Git for Windows' SDK (which, unlike its predecessor msysGit, offers
Perl versions newer than 5.8), we can use the quite readable syntax
`if -f -z $ErrsFile` (available in Perl >=5.10).
Note that the file will contain the new values of the GIT_VERSION
and GITGUI_VERSION if they were generated by the make file. They
are omitted if the release is tagged and indentically defined in
their respective GIT_VERSION_GEN file DEF_VER variables.

It is a real old anachronism from the Cogito days to have a

users can migrate away from using that directory.
But so be it, let's continue testing it.
Let's make sure, however, that git init does not need to create that
directory.

The idea of this assert() statement was to test, in debug mode, that the
check_header() function actually finds anything.
However, enclosing the call to that function in an assert() makes it fair
game for smart compilers *to skip the call in release mode*. Which is not
at all what we want here.
Remember: just because it works with GCC does not mean that it is correct.
