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.

When passing a command-line to call an external diff command to the
difftool, we must be prepared for paths containing special characters,
e.g. backslashes in the temporary directory's path on Windows.
This has been caught by running the test suite with an MSVC-built Git:
in contrast to the MINGW one, it does not rewrite `$TMP` to use forward
slashes instead of backslashes.

This is a brown paper bag. When adding the tests, we actually failed
to verify that the config variable is heeded in git-init at all. And
when changing the original patch that marked the .git/ directory as
hidden after reading the config, it was lost on this developer that
the new code would use the hide_dotfiles variable before the config
was read.
The fix is obvious: read the (limited, pre-init) config *before*
creating the .git/ 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.

The "2>&1" notation in POSIX shells implies that stderr is redirected to

GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR to allow writing to the same destination as stdout.

On Windows, file handles need to be marked inheritable when they need to
be used as standard input/output/error handles for a newly spawned
process. The problem with that, of course, is that the "inheritable" flag
is global and therefore can wreak havoc with highly multi-threaded
applications: other spawned processes will *also* inherit those file
handles, despite having *other* input/output/error handles, and never
close the former handles because they do not know about them.
Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and
friends) that point to files, or even better, named pipes and that are
used by the spawned Git process. This helps work around above-mentioned
issue: those named pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon
startup, and no handles are passed around.

When a third-party tool periodically runs `git status` in order to keep
track of the state of the working tree, it is a bad idea to lock the
index: it might interfere with interactive commands executed by the
user, e.g. when the user wants to commit files.
Let's introduce the option `--no-lock-index` to prevent such problems.
The idea is that the third-party tool calls `git status` with this
option, preventing it from ever updating the index.
The downside is that the periodic `git status` calls will be a little
bit more wasteful because they may have to refresh the index repeatedly,
only to throw away the updates when it exits. This cannot really be
helped, though, as tools wanting to get a periodic update of the status
have no way to predict when the user may want to lock the index herself.
Note that the regression test added in this commit does not *really*
verify that no index.lock file was written; that test is not possible in
a portable way. Instead, we verify that .git/index is rewritten *only*
when `git status` is run without `--no-lock-index`.

issue #790: git bundle create does not close handle to *.lock file
This problem happens when an user tries to create an empty bundle, using the
following command: `git bundle create <bundle> <revlist>` and when <revlist>
resolve to an empty list (for example, like `master..master`), `git bundle` fails
and warn the user about how it don't want to create empty bundle.
In that case, git tries to delete the `<bundle>.lock` file, and since there's still
an open file handle, fails to do so and ask the user if it should retry (which will
fail again).
The lock can still be deleted manually by the user (and it is required if the user
want to create a bundle after revising his rev-list).

Windows paths are typically limited to MAX_PATH = 260 characters, even
though the underlying NTFS file system supports paths up to 32,767 chars.
This limitation is also evident in Windows Explorer, cmd.exe and many
other applications (including IDEs).
Particularly annoying is that most Windows APIs return bogus error codes
if a relative path only barely exceeds MAX_PATH in conjunction with the
current directory, e.g. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND / ENOENT instead of the
infinitely more helpful ERROR_FILENAME_EXCED_RANGE / ENAMETOOLONG.
Many Windows wide char APIs support longer than MAX_PATH paths through the
file namespace prefix ('\\?\' or '\\?\UNC\') followed by an absolute path.
Notable exceptions include functions dealing with executables and the
current directory (CreateProcess, LoadLibrary, Get/SetCurrentDirectory) as
well as the entire shell API (ShellExecute, SHGetSpecialFolderPath...).
Introduce a handle_long_path function to check the length of a specified
path properly (and fail with ENAMETOOLONG), and to optionally expand long
paths using the '\\?\' file namespace prefix. Short paths will not be
modified, so we don't need to worry about device names (NUL, CON, AUX).
Contrary to MSDN docs, the GetFullPathNameW function doesn't seem to be
limited to MAX_PATH (at least not on Win7), so we can use it to do the
heavy lifting of the conversion (translate '/' to '\', eliminate '.' and
'..', and make an absolute path).
Add long path error checking to xutftowcs_path for APIs with hard MAX_PATH
limit.
Add a new MAX_LONG_PATH constant and xutftowcs_long_path function for APIs
that support long paths.
While improved error checking is always active, long paths support must be
explicitly enabled via 'core.longpaths' option. This is to prevent end
users to shoot themselves in the foot by checking out files that Windows
Explorer, cmd/bash or their favorite IDE cannot handle.
Test suite:
Test the case is when the full pathname length of a dir is close
to 260 (MAX_PATH).

The way "git stripspace" reads the configuration was not quite
kosher, in that the code forgot to probe for a possibly existing
repository (note: stripspace is designed to be usable outside the
repository as well). It read .git/config only when it was run from
the top-level of the working tree by accident. A recent change
b9605bc4f2 ("config: only read .git/config from configured repos",
2016-09-12) stopped reading the repository-local configuration file
".git/config" unless the repository discovery process is done, so
that .git/config is never read even when run from the top-level,
exposing the old bug more.

The redirection of the standard error stream to a temporary file is
a leftover cruft during debugging. Remove it.
Besides, it is reported by folks on the Windows that the test is
flaky with this redirection; somebody gets confused and this
merely-redirected-to file gets marked as delete-pending by git.exe
and makes it finish with a non-zero exit status when "git checkout"
finishes. Windows folks may want to figure that one out, but for
the purpose of this test, it shouldn't become a show-stopper.

We lengthened the time the leftover process sleeps in the previous
commit to make sure it will be there while 'git merge' runs and
finishes. It therefore needs to be killed before leaving the test.
And it needs to be killed even when 'git merge' fails, so it has to
be triggered via test_when_finished mechanism.
Explain all that in a large comment, and move the use site of
test_when_finished to immediately before 'git merge' invocation,
where the process is spawned.

We have to use $PWD instead of $(pwd) because on Windows the latter
would add a C: style path to bash's Unix-style $PATH variable, which
becomes confused by the colon after the drive letter. ($PWD is a
Unix-style path.)
In the case of GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES, bash on Windows
assembles a Unix-style path list with the colon as separators. It
converts the value to a Windows-style path list with the semicolon as
path separator when it forwards the variable to git.exe. The same
confusion happens when bash's original value is contaminated with

sweeping a test-bug under the rug.
