This topic branch fixes a rather serious regression with NTLM
authentication: when using "empty credentials", i.e. when inserting ":@"
into a URL (e.g. https://:@me.visualstudio.com/), we used to ask cURL to
use the login credentials. But a recent change broke that. Which this
branch fixes again.

When developing Git for Windows, we always have to ensure that we do not
break any non-Windows platforms, e.g. by introducing Windows-specific code
into the platform-independent source code.
At other times, it is necessary to test whether a bug is Windows-specific
or not, in order to send the bug report to the correct place. Having
access to a Linux-based Git comes in really handy in such a situation.
Vagrant offers a painless way to install and use a defined Linux
development environment on Windows (and other Operating Systems). We offer
a Vagrantfile to that end for two reasons:
1) To allow Windows users to gain the full power of Linux' Git
2) To offer users an easy path to verify that the issue they are about
to report is really a Windows-specific issue; otherwise they would
need to report it to git@vger.kernel.org instead.
Using it is easy: Download and install https://www.virtualbox.org/, then
download and install https://www.vagrantup.com/, then direct your
command-line window to the Git source directory containing the Vagrantfile
and run the commands:
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
See https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Vagrant for details.
As part of switching Git for Windows' development environment from msysGit
to the MSys2-based Git SDK, this Vagrantfile was copy-edited from msysGit:

It is common in corporate setups to have permissions managed via a
domain account. That means that the user does not really have to log in
when accessing a central repository via https://, but that the login
credentials are used to authenticate with that repository.
The common way to do that used to require empty credentials, i.e. hitting
Enter twice when being asked for user name and password, or by using the
very funny notation https://:@server/repository
A recent commit (5275c3081c (http: http.emptyauth should allow empty (not
just NULL) usernames, 2016-10-04)) broke that usage, though, all of a
sudden requiring users to set http.emptyAuth = true.
Which brings us to the bigger question why http.emptyAuth defaults to
false, to begin with.
It would be one thing if cURL would not let the user specify credentials
interactively after attempting NTLM authentication (i.e. login
credentials), but that is not the case.
It would be another thing if attempting NTLM authentication was not
usually what users need to do when trying to authenticate via https://.
But that is also not the case.
So let's just go ahead and change the default, and unbreak the NTLM
authentication. As a bonus, this also makes the "you need to hit Enter
twice" (which is hard to explain: why enter empty credentials when you
want to authenticate with your login credentials?) and the ":@" hack
(which is also pretty, pretty hard to explain to users) obsolete.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/987

Use ALLOC_GROW() macro when reallocing a string_list array
rather than simply increasing it by 32. This is a performance
optimization.
During status on a very large repo and there are many changes,
a significant percentage of the total run time was spent
reallocing the wt_status.changes array.
This change decreased the time in wt_status_collect_changes_worktree()
from 125 seconds to 45 seconds on my very large repository.

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

Teach add_index_entry_with_check() and has_dir_name()

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.

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.
