3770c3e393 Win32: Unicode file name support (dirent)
Changes opendir/readdir to use Windows Unicode APIs and convert between
UTF-8/UTF-16.

Removes parameter checks that are already covered by xutftowcs_path. This
changes detection of ENAMETOOLONG from MAX_PATH - 2 to MAX_PATH (matching
is_dir_empty in mingw.c). If name + "/*" or the resulting absolute path is
too long, FindFirstFile fails and errno is set through err_win_to_posix.

Increases the size of dirent.d_name to accommodate the full
WIN32_FIND_DATA.cFileName converted to UTF-8 (UTF-16 to UTF-8 conversion
may grow by factor three in the worst case).

2ee5a1a14a Win32: Unicode file name support (except dirent)
Replaces Windows "ANSI" APIs dealing with file- or path names with their
Unicode equivalent, adding UTF-8/UTF-16LE conversion as necessary.

The dirent API (opendir/readdir/closedir) is updated in a separate commit.

Adds trivial wrappers for access, chmod and chdir.

Adds wrapper for mktemp (needed for both mkstemp and mkdtemp).

The simplest way to convert a repository with legacy-encoded (e.g. Cp1252)
file names to UTF-8 ist to checkout with an old msysgit version and
"git add --all & git commit" with the new version.

093733247f Win32: add Unicode conversion functions
Add Unicode conversion functions to convert between Windows native UTF-16LE
encoding to UTF-8 and back.

To support repositories with legacy-encoded file names, the UTF-8 to UTF-16
conversion function tries to create valid, unique file names even for
invalid UTF-8 byte sequences, so that these repositories can be checked out
without error.

The current implementation leaves invalid UTF-8 bytes in range 0xa0 - 0xff
as is (producing printable Unicode chars \u00a0 - \u00ff, equivalent to
ISO-8859-1), and converts 0x80 - 0x9f to hex-code (\u0080 - \u009f are
control chars).

The Windows MultiByteToWideChar API was not used as it either drops invalid
UTF-8 sequences (on Win2k/XP; producing non-unique or even empty file
names) or converts them to the replacement char \ufffd (Vista/7; causing
ERROR_INVALID_NAME in subsequent calls to file system APIs).

4672b934c1 Win32: Thread-safe windows console output
Winansi.c has many static variables that are accessed and modified from
the [v][f]printf / fputs functions overridden in the file. This may cause
multi threaded git commands that print to the console to produce corrupted
output or even crash.

Additionally, winansi.c doesn't override all functions that can be used to
print to the console (e.g. fwrite, write, fputc are missing), so that ANSI
escapes don't work properly for some git commands (e.g. git-grep).

Instead of doing ANSI emulation in just a few wrapped functions on top of
the IO API, let's plug into the IO system and take advantage of the thread
safety inherent to the IO system.

Redirect stdout and stderr to a pipe if they point to the console. A
background thread reads from the pipe, handles ANSI escape sequences and
UTF-8 to UTF-16 conversion, then writes to the console.

The pipe-based stdout and stderr replacements must be set to unbuffered, as
MSVCRT doesn't support line buffering and fully buffered streams are
inappropriate for console output.

Due to the byte-oriented pipe, ANSI escape sequences and multi-byte UTF-8
sequences can no longer be expected to arrive in one piece. Replace the
string-based ansi_emulate() with a simple stateful parser (this also fixes
colored diff hunk headers, which were broken as of commit 2efcc977).

Override isatty to return true for the pipes redirecting to the console.

Exec/spawn obtain the original console handle to pass to the next process
via winansi_get_osfhandle().

All other overrides are gone, the default stdio implementations work as
expected with the piped stdout/stderr descriptors.

Global variables are either initialized on startup (single threaded) or
exclusively modified by the background thread. Threads communicate through
the pipe, no further synchronization is necessary.

The background thread is terminated by disonnecting the pipe after flushing
the stdio and pipe buffers. This doesn't work for anonymous pipes (created
via CreatePipe), as DisconnectNamedPipe only works on the read end, which
discards remaining data. Thus we have to setup the pipe manually, with the
write end beeing the server (opened with CreateNamedPipe) and the read end
the client (opened with CreateFile).

Limitations: doesn't track reopened or duped file descriptors, i.e.:
- fdopen(1/2) returns fully buffered streams
- dup(1/2), dup2(1/2) returns normal pipe descriptors (i.e. isatty() =
  false, winansi_get_osfhandle won't return the original console handle)

Currently, only the git-format-patch command uses xfdopen(xdup(1)) (see
"realstdout" in builtin/log.c), but works well with these limitations.

Many thanks to Atsushi Nakagawa <atnak@chejz.com> for suggesting and
reviewing the thread-exit-mechanism.

b12c16a458 Revert "Windows: teach getenv to do a case-sensitive search"
This reverts commit df599e9612.

As of 5e9637c6 "i18n: add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext",
eval_gettext uses MinGW envsubst.exe instead of git-sh-i18n--envsubst.exe
for variable substitution. This breaks git-submodule.sh messages and tests,
as envsubst.exe doesn't support case-sensitive environment lookup (the same
is true for almost everything on Windows, including MSys and Cygwin tools).

30a615ac "Windows/i18n: rename $path to prevent clashes with $PATH" renames
the conflicting variable in git-submodule.sh, so that it works on Windows
(i.e. with case-insensitive environment, regardless of the toolset).

Revert to the documented behaviour of case-insensitive environment on
Windows.

69657c22df MinGW: disable CRT command line globbing
MingwRT listens to _CRT_glob to decide if __getmainargs should
perform globbing, with the default being that it should.
Unfortunately, __getmainargs globbing is sub-par; for instance
patterns like "*.c" will only match c-sources in the current
directory.

Disable __getmainargs' command line wildcard expansion, so these
patterns will be left untouched, and handled by Git's superior
built-in globbing instead.

MSVC defaults to no globbing, so we don't need to do anything
in that case.

This fixes t5505 and t7810.

a5becf4ad1 Win32 dirent: improve dirent implementation
Improve the dirent implementation by removing the relics that were once
necessary to plug into the now unused MinGW runtime, in preparation for
Unicode file name support.

Move FindFirstFile to opendir, and FindClose to closedir, with the
following implications:
- DIR.dd_name is no longer needed
- chdir(one); opendir(relative); chdir(two); readdir() works as expected
  (i.e. lists one/relative instead of two/relative)
- DIR.dd_handle is a valid handle for the entire lifetime of the DIR struct
- thus, all checks for dd_handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and dd_handle == 0
  have been removed
- the special case that the directory has been fully read (which was
  previously explicitly tracked with dd_handle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE &&
  dd_stat != 0) is now handled implicitly by the FindNextFile error
  handling code (if a client continues to call readdir after receiving
  NULL, FindNextFile will continue to fail with ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES, to
  the same effect)
- extracting dirent data from WIN32_FIND_DATA is needed in two places, so
  moved to its own method
- GetFileAttributes is no longer needed. The same information can be
  obtained from the FindFirstFile error code, which is ERROR_DIRECTORY if
  the name is NOT a directory (-> ENOTDIR), otherwise we can use
  err_win_to_posix (e.g. ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND -> ENOENT). The
  ERROR_DIRECTORY case could be fixed in err_win_to_posix, but this
  probably breaks other functionality.

Removes the ERROR_NO_MORE_FILES check after FindFirstFile (this was
fortunately a NOOP (searching for '*' always finds '.' and '..'),
otherwise the subsequent code would have copied data from an uninitialized
buffer).

Changes malloc to git support function xmalloc, so opendir will die() if
out of memory, rather than failing with ENOMEM and letting git work on
incomplete directory listings (error handling in dir.c is quite sparse).

83b2c3764e Warn if the Windows console font doesn't support Unicode
Unicode console output won't display correctly with default settings
because the default console font ("Terminal") only supports the system's
OEM charset. Unfortunately, this is a user specific setting, so it cannot
be easily fixed by e.g. some registry tricks in the setup program.

This change prints a warning on exit if console output contained non-ascii
characters and the console font is supposedly not a TrueType font (which
usually have decent Unicode support).

e935419a58 core.hidedotfiles: hide '.git' dir by default
At least for cross-platform projects, it makes sense to hide the
files starting with a dot, as this is the behavior on Unix/MacOSX.

However, at least Eclipse has problems interpreting the hidden flag
correctly, so the default is to hide only the .git/ directory.

The config setting core.hideDotFiles therefore supports not only
'true' and 'false', but also 'dotGitOnly'.

by marking the .git/ directory only after reading the config, and added
documentation, and rebased on top of current junio/next]

90110d7645 compat/mingw.h: Set S_ISUID to prevent a fast-import test failure
The current t9300-fast-import.sh test number 62 ("L: nested tree
copy does not corrupt deltas") was introduced in commit 9a0edb79
("fast-import: add a test for tree delta base corruption",
15-08-2011). A fix for the demonstrated problem was introduced
by commit 8fb3ad76 ("fast-import: prevent producing bad delta",
15-08-2011). However, this fix didn't work on MinGW and so this
test has always failed on MinGW.

Part of the solution in commit 8fb3ad76 was to add an NO_DELTA
preprocessor constant which was defined as follows:

  +/*
  + * We abuse the setuid bit on directories to mean "do not delta".
  + */
  +#define NO_DELTA S_ISUID
  +

Unfortunately, the S_ISUID constant on MinGW is defined as zero.

In order to fix the problem, we simply alter the definition of
S_ISUID in the mingw header file to a more appropriate value.
Also, we take the opportunity to similarly define S_ISGID and
S_ISVTX.

1696d72321 compat/mingw.[ch]: Change return type of exec functions to int
The POSIX standard specifies a return type of int for all six exec
functions. In addition, all exec functions return -1 on error, and
simply do not return on success. However, the current emulation of
the exec functions on mingw are declared with a void return type.

This would cause a problem should any code attempt to call the
exec function in a non-void context. In particular, if an exec
function were used in a conditional it would fail to compile.

In order to improve the fidelity of the emulation, we change the
return type of the mingw_execv[p] functions to int and return -1
on error.

want to access their terminal directly. We can't rely on
stdio because it may be connected to pipes or files, rather
than the terminal. Instead, we use "getpass()", because it
abstracts the idea of prompting and reading from the
terminal.  However, it has some problems:

  1. It never echoes the typed characters, which makes it OK
     for passwords but annoying for other input (like usernames).

  2. Some implementations of getpass() have an extremely
     small input buffer (e.g., Solaris 8 is reported to
     support only 8 characters).

  3. Some implementations of getpass() will fall back to
     reading from stdin (e.g., glibc). We explicitly don't
     want this, because our stdin may be connected to a pipe
     speaking a particular protocol, and reading will
     disrupt the protocol flow (e.g., the remote-curl
     helper).

  4. Some implementations of getpass() turn off signals, so
     that hitting "^C" on the terminal does not break out of
     the password prompt. This can be a mild annoyance.

Instead, let's provide an abstract "git_terminal_prompt"
function that addresses these concerns. This patch includes
an implementation based on /dev/tty, enabled by setting
HAVE_DEV_TTY. The fallback is to use getpass() as before.

a9bfbc5b69 compat/snprintf: don't look at va_list twice
If you define SNPRINTF_RETURNS_BOGUS, we use a special
git_vsnprintf wrapper assumes that vsnprintf returns "-1"
instead of the number of characters that you would need to
store the result.

To do this, it invokes vsnprintf multiple times, growing a
heap buffer until we have enough space to hold the result.
However, this means we evaluate the va_list parameter
multiple times, which is generally a bad thing (it may be
modified by calls to vsnprintf, yielding undefined
behavior).

Instead, we must va_copy it and hand the copy to vsnprintf,
so we always have a pristine va_list.

POSIX says that last parameter to waitpid should be 'int',
so let's make it so.

e3eed7f8d2 Add strtoimax() compatibility function.
Since systems that omit strtoumax() will likely omit strtomax() too, and
likewise for strtoull() and strtoll(), we arrange for the make variables
NO_STRTOUMAX and NO_STRTOULL to cover both the signed and unsigned
functions, and define compatibility implementations for them.
