c4e8f69f06 t5605: special-case hardlink test for BusyBox-w32
When t5605 tries to verify that files are hardlinked (or that they are
not), it uses the `-links` option of the `find` utility.

BusyBox' implementation does not support that option, and BusyBox-w32's
lstat() does not even report the number of hard links correctly (for
performance reasons).

So let's just switch to a different method that actually works on
Windows.

0c114ef44f t5532: workaround for BusyBox on Windows
While it may seem super convenient to some old Unix hands to simpy
require Perl to be available when running the test suite, this is a
major hassle on Windows, where we want to verify that Perl is not,
actually, required in a NO_PERL build.

As a super ugly workaround, we "install" a script into /usr/bin/perl
reading like this:

	#!/bin/sh

	# We'd much rather avoid requiring Perl altogether when testing
	# an installed Git. Oh well, that's why we cannot have nice
	# things.
	exec c:/git-sdk-64/usr/bin/perl.exe "$@"

The problem with that is that BusyBox assumes that the #! line in a
script refers to an executable, not to a script. So when it encounters
the line #!/usr/bin/perl in t5532's proxy-get-cmd, it barfs.

Let's help this situation by simply executing the Perl script with the
"interpreter" specified explicitly.

6bff2d313c t5003: skip unzip -a tests with BusyBox
BusyBox' unzip is working pretty well. But Git's tests want to abuse it
to not only extract files, but to convert their line endings on the fly,
too. BusyBox' unzip does not support that, and it would appear that
it would require rather intrusive changes.

So let's just work around this by skipping the test case that uses
`unzip -a` and the subsequent test cases expecting `unzip -a`'s output.

2c07dd2ca3 t5003: use binary file from t/diff-lib/
At some stage, t5003-archive-zip wants to add a file that is not ASCII.
To that end, it uses /bin/sh. But that file may actually not exist (it
is too easy to forget that not all the world is Unix/Linux...)! Besides,
we already have perfectly fine binary files intended for use solely by
the tests. So let's use one of them instead.

70b6f5c601 t4124: avoid using "normal" diff mode
Everybody and their dogs, cats and other pets settled on using unified
diffs. It is a really quaint holdover from a long-gone era that GNU diff
outputs "normal" diff by default.

Yet, t4124 relied on that mode.

This mode is so out of fashion in the meantime, though, that e.g.
BusyBox' diff decided not even to bother to support it. It only supports
unified diffs.

So let's just switch away from "normal" diffs and use unified diffs, as
we really are only interested in the `+` lines.

33e64e7ebe t1300: mark all test cases with funny filenames as !MINGW
On Windows, it is impossible to create a file whose name contains a
quote character. We already excluded test cases using such files from
running on Windows when git.exe itself was tested.

However, we still had two test cases that try to create such a file, and
redirect stdin from such a file, respectively. This *seems* to work in
Git for Windows' Bash due to an obscure feature inherited from Cygwin:
illegal filename characters are simply mapped into/from a private UTF-8
page. Pure Win32 programs (such as git.exe) *still* cannot work with
those files, of course, but at least Unix shell scripts pretend to be
able to.

This entire strategy breaks down when switching to any Unix shell
lacking support for that private UTF-8 page trick, e.g. BusyBox-w32's
ash. So let's just exclude test cases that test whether the Unix shell
can redirect to/from files with "funny names" those from running on
Windows, too.

2edfddc2ba t0021: use Windows path when appropriate
Since c6b0831c9c (docs: warn about possible '=' in clean/smudge filter
process values, 2016-12-03), t0021 writes out a file with quotes in its
name, and MSYS2's path conversion heuristics mistakes that to mean that
we are not talking about a path here.

Therefore, we need to use Windows paths, as the test-helper is a Win32
program that would otherwise have no idea where to look for the file.

18badfe268 tests (mingw): remove Bash-specific pwd option

make sure to override `pwd` by `builtin pwd -W` for MINGW, so let's not

3edc1c7c79 mingw: only use Bash-ism builtin pwd -W when available
Traditionally, Git for Windows' SDK uses Bash as its default shell.
However, other Unix shells are available, too. Most notably, the Win32
port of BusyBox comes with `ash` whose `pwd` command already prints
Windows paths as Git for Windows wants them, while there is not even a
`builtin` command.

Therefore, let's be careful not to override `pwd` unless we know that
the `builtin` command is available.

c757368ad4 tests: use the correct path separator with BusyBox
BusyBox-w32 is a true Win32 application, i.e. it does not come with a
POSIX emulation layer.

That also means that it does *not* use the Unix convention of separating
the entries in the PATH variable using colons, but semicolons.

However, there are also BusyBox ports to Windows which use a POSIX
emulation layer such as Cygwin's or MSYS2's runtime, i.e. using colons
as PATH separators.

As a tell-tale, let's use the presence of semicolons in the PATH
variable: on Unix, it is highly unlikely that it contains semicolons,
and on Windows (without POSIX emulation), it is virtually guaranteed, as
everybody should have both $SYSTEMROOT and $SYSTEMROOT/system32 in their
PATH.

44cd93cf87 test-helper: learn to act as a drop-in replacement for iconv
It is convenient to assume that everybody who wants to build & test Git
has access to a working `iconv` executable (after all, we already pretty
much require libiconv)

However, that limits esoteric test scenarios such as Git for Windows',
where an end user installation has to ship with `iconv` for the sole
purpose of being testable. That payload serves no other purpose.

So let's just have a test helper (to be able to test Git, the test
helpers have to be available, after all) to act as `iconv` replacement.

d6908620fe test-run-command: learn to run (parts of) the testsuite
Instead of relying on the presence of `make`, or `prove`, we might just
as well use our own facilities to run the test suite.

This helps e.g. when trying to verify a Git for Windows installation
without requiring to download a full Git for Windows SDK (which would use
up 600+ megabytes of bandwidth, and over a gigabyte of disk space).

Of course, it still requires the test helpers to be build *somewhere*,
and the Git version should at least roughly match the version from which
the test suite comes.

At the same time, this new way to run the test suite allows to validate
that a BusyBox-backed MinGit works as expected (verifying that BusyBox'
functionality is enough to at least pass the test suite).

13abb2b233 mingw: when path_lookup() failed, try BusyBox
BusyBox comes with a ton of applets ("applet" being the identical
concept to Git's "builtins"). And similar to Git's builtins, the applets
can be called via `busybox <command>`, or the BusyBox executable can be
copied/hard-linked to the command name.

The similarities do not end here. Just as with Git's builtins, it is
problematic that BusyBox' hard-linked applets cannot easily be put into
a .zip file: .zip archives have no concept of hard-links and therefore
would store identical copies (and also extract identical copies,
"inflating" the archive unnecessarily).

To counteract that issue, MinGit already ships without hard-linked
copies of the builtins, and the plan is to do the same with BusyBox'
applets: simply ship busybox.exe as single executable, without
hard-linked applets.

To accommodate that, Git is being taught by this commit a very special
trick, exploiting the fact that it is possible to call an executable
with a command-line whose argv[0] is different from the executable's
name: when `sh` is to be spawned, and no `sh` is found in the PATH, but
busybox.exe is, use that executable (with unchanged argv).

Likewise, if any executable to be spawned is not on the PATH, but
busybox.exe is found, parse the output of `busybox.exe --help` to find
out what applets are included, and if the command matches an included
applet name, use busybox.exe to execute it.

7b3c373cc9 mingw: explicitly specify with which cmd to prefix the cmdline
The main idea of this patch is that even if we have to look up the
absolute path of the script, if only the basename was specified as
argv[0], then we should use that basename on the command line, too, not
the absolute path.

This patch will also help with the upcoming patch where we automatically
substitute "sh ..." by "busybox sh ..." if "sh" is not in the PATH but
"busybox" is: we will do that by substituting the actual executable, but
still keep prepending "sh" to the command line.

45db369aee squash! mingw: special-case arguments to sh
mingw: special-case arguments to `sh`

The MSYS2 runtime does its best to emulate the command-line wildcard
expansion and de-quoting which would be performed by the calling Unix
shell on Unix systems.

Those Unix shell quoting rules differ from the quoting rules applying to
Windows' cmd and Powershell, making it a little awkward to quote
command-line parameters properly when spawning other processes.

In particular, git.exe passes arguments to subprocesses that are *not*
intended to be interpreted as wildcards, and if they contain
backslashes, those are not to be interpreted as escape characters, e.g.
when passing Windows paths.

Note: this is only a problem when calling MSYS2 executables, not when
calling MINGW executables such as git.exe. However, we do call MSYS2
executables frequently, most notably when setting the use_shell flag in
the child_process structure.

There is no elegant way to determine whether the .exe file to be
executed is an MSYS2 program or a MINGW one. But since the use case of
passing a command line through the shell is so prevalent, we need to
work around this issue at least when executing sh.exe.

Let's introduce an ugly, hard-coded test whether argv[0] is "sh", and
whether it refers to the MSYS2 Bash, to determine whether we need to
quote the arguments differently than usual.

That still does not fix the issue completely, but at least it is
something.

Incidentally, this also fixes the problem where `git clone \\server\repo`
failed due to incorrect handling of the backslashes when handing the path
to the git-upload-pack process.

4754cc8038 run_processes_parallel: change confusing task_cb convention
By declaring the task_cb parameter of type `void **`, the signature of
the get_next_task method suggests that the "task-specific cookie" can be
defined in that method, and the signatures of the start_failure and of
the task_finished methods declare that parameter of type `void *`,
suggesting that those methods are mere users of said cookie.

That convention makes a total lot of sense, because the tasks are pretty
much dead when one of the latter two methods is called: there would be
little use to reset that cookie at that point because nobody would be
able to see the change afterwards.

However, this is not what the code actually does. For all three methods,
it passes the *address* of pp->children[i].data.

As reasoned above, this behavior makes no sense. So let's change the
implementation to adhere to the convention suggested by the signatures.

e0a36847ab Teach status to show ignored directories with all untracked files
The git status command exposes the option to report ignored and
untracked files. When reporting untracked files, it can report untracked
files (--untracked=all), but this results in all ignored files being
reported as well. This teaches Git to optionally show all untracked
files, but not show individual ignored files contained in directories
that match an ignore rule.

Motivation:
Our application (Visual Studio) needs all untracked files listed
individually, but does not need all ignored files listed individually.
Reporting all ignored files can affect the time it takes for status
to run. For a representative repository, here are some measurements
showing a large perf improvement for this scenario:

| Command | Reported ignored entries | Time (s) |
| ------- | ------------------------ | -------- |
| 1       | 0                        | 1.3      |
| 2       | 1024                     | 4.2      |
| 3       | 174904                   | 7.5      |
| 4       | 1046                     | 1.6      |

Commands:
 1) status
 2) status --ignored
 3) status --ignored --untracked-files=all
 4) status --ignored --untracked-files=all --show-ignored-directory

This changes exposes a --show-ignored-directory flag to the git status
command. This flag is utilized when running git status with the
--ignored and --untracked-files options to not list ignored individual
ignored files contained in directories that match an ignore pattern.

Part of the perf improvement comes from the tweak to
read_directory_recursive to stop scanning the file system after it
encounters the first file. When a directory is ignored, all it needs to
determine is if the directory is empty or not. The logic currently keeps
scanning the file system until it finds an untracked file. However, as
the directory is ignored, all the contained contents are also marked
excluded. For ignored directories that contain a large number of files,
this can take some time.

d476f1a9f4 http: add support for selecting SSL backends at runtime
The Pull Request at https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1601 adds support
for choosing the SSL backend at runtime to cURL, and will hopefully be
merged before version 7.56.0 comes out.

Git for Windows will ship with those patches backported to 7.54.1 (and
come August 9th, 2017, 7.55.0 and later).

This patch adds the Git side of that feature: by setting http.sslBackend
to "openssl" or "schannel", Git for Windows can now choose the SSL
backend at runtime.

This comes in handy because Secure Channel ("schannel") is the native
Windows solution, accessing the Windows Credential Store, thereby
allowing for enterprise-wide management of certificates. For historical
reasons, Git for Windows needs to support OpenSSL still, as it has
previously been the only supported SSL backend in Git for Windows for
almost a decade.

b6ec131a93 Merge branch 'unc-path-w-backslashes'
This topic branch addresses a problem identified in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/439: while
cloning/fetching/pushing from "POSIX-ified UNC paths" (i.e. UNC paths
whose backslashes have been converted to forward slashes) works for some
time now, true UNC paths (with backslashes left intact) were handled
incorrectly. Example:

	git clone //myserver/folder/repo.git

works, but

	git clone \\myserver\folder\repo.git

(in CMD; in Git Bash, the backslashes would need to be doubled) used to
fail. The reason was an unexpected difference in command-line handling
between Win32 executables and MSYS2 ones (such as the shell that is used
by git-clone.exe to spawn git-upload-pack.exe).

This topic branch features a workaround *just* for the case where Git
passes stuff through sh.exe (which covers quite a few use cases,
though).

There is no elegant way to determine whether the .exe file to be
executed is an MSYS2 program or a MINGW one. But since the use case of
passing a command line through the shell is so prevalent, we need to
work around this issue at least when executing sh.exe.

Let's introduce an ugly, hard-coded test whether argv[0] is "sh" to
determine whether we need to quote the arguments differently than usual.

That still does not fix the issue completely, but at least it is
something.

Incidentally, this also fixes the problem where `git clone \\server\repo`
failed due to incorrect handling of the backslashes when handing the path
to the git-upload-pack process.

6f6f2b7876 mingw: try to create symlinks without elevated permissions
With Windows 10 Build 14972 in Developer Mode, a new flag is supported
by CreateSymbolicLink() to create symbolic links even when running
outside of an elevated session (which was previously required).

This new flag is called SYMBOLIC_LINK_FLAG_ALLOW_UNPRIVILEGED_CREATE and
has the numeric value 0x02.

Previous Windows 10 versions will not understand that flag and return an
ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER, therefore we have to be careful to try passing
that flag only when the build number indicates that it is supported.

For more information about the new flag, see this blog post:
https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/12/02/symlinks-windows-10/

This patch is loosely based on the patch submitted by Samuel D. Leslie
as https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/1184.

a7ba5bdab7 mingw (t5580): document bug when cloning from backslashed UNC paths
Due to a quirk in Git's method to spawn git-upload-pack, there is a
problem when passing paths with backslashes in them: Git will force the
command-line through the shell, which has different quoting semantics in
Git for Windows (being an MSYS2 program) than regular Win32 executables
such as git.exe itself.

The symptom is that the first of the two backslashes in UNC paths of the
form \\myserver\folder\repository.git is *stripped off*.

Document this bug by introducing a test case.

9b9fd6f2a9 mingw: use proper quoting of the tr argument in t5580
The use of a trailing backslash in an argument to the `tr` command is not
portable. While this test case is very specific to Windows, anyway, we
still should avoid that warning.

790aaaa7a6 status: do not get confused by submodules in excluded directories
We meticulously pass the `exclude` flag to the `treat_directory()`
function so that we can indicate that files in it are excluded rather
than untracked when recursing.

But we did not yet treat submodules the same way.
