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.

Checking the work tree status is quite slow on Windows, due to slow lstat
emulation (git calls lstat once for each file in the index). Windows
operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the status
of entire directories than checking single files.
Add an lstat implementation that uses a cache for lstat data. Cache misses
read the entire parent directory and add it to the cache. Subsequent lstat
calls for the same directory are served directly from the cache.
Also implement opendir / readdir / closedir so that they create and use
directory listings in the cache.
The cache doesn't track file system changes and doesn't plug into any
modifying file APIs, so it has to be explicitly enabled for git functions
that don't modify the working copy.
Note: in an earlier version of this patch, the cache was always active and
tracked file system changes via ReadDirectoryChangesW. However, this was
much more complex and had negative impact on the performance of modifying
git commands such as 'git checkout'.

Emulating the POSIX dirent API on Windows via FindFirstFile/FindNextFile is
pretty staightforward, however, most of the information provided in the
WIN32_FIND_DATA structure is thrown away in the process. A more
sophisticated implementation may cache this data, e.g. for later reuse in
calls to lstat.
Make the dirent implementation pluggable so that it can be switched at
runtime, e.g. based on a config option.
Define a base DIR structure with pointers to readdir/closedir that match
the opendir implementation (i.e. similar to vtable pointers in OOP).
Define readdir/closedir so that they call the function pointers in the DIR
structure. This allows to choose the opendir implementation on a
call-by-call basis.
Move the fixed sized dirent.d_name buffer to the dirent-specific DIR

implementation may just set d_name to point into the cache instead of
copying the entire file name string).

I played around with this quite a bit. After trying some more complex
schemes, I found that what worked best is to just sleep 1 millisecond
between iterations. Though it's a very short time, it still completely
eliminates the busy wait condition, without hurting perf.
There code uses SleepEx(1, TRUE) to sleep. See this page for a good
discussion of why that is better than calling SwitchToThread, which
is what was used previously:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1383943/switchtothread-vs-sleep1
Note that calling SleepEx(0, TRUE) does *not* solve the busy wait.
The most striking case was when testing on a UNC share with a large repo,
on a single CPU machine. Without the fix, it took 4 minutes 15 seconds,
and with the fix it took just 1:08! I think it's because git-upload-pack's
busy wait was eating the CPU away from the git process that's doing the
real work. With multi-proc, the timing is not much different, but tons of
CPU time is still wasted, which can be a killer on a server that needs to
do bunch of other things.
I also tested the very fast local case, and didn't see any measurable
difference. On a big repo with 4500 files, the upload-pack took about 2
seconds with and without the fix.

This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow
missed in 2ee5a1a14a.
Note that the only problem in this function was calling
GetFileAttributes instead of GetFileAttributesW. The calls to access()
were fine because access() is a macro which resolves to mingw_access,
which already handles Unicode correctly. But I changed lookup_prog to
use _waccess directly so that we only convert the path to UTF-16 once.

At least for cross-platform projects, it makes sense to hide the

As of "Win32: Thread-safe windows console output", git-log no longer
terminates when the pager process dies. This is due to disabling buffering
for the replaced stdout / stderr streams. Git-log will periodically fflush
stdout (see write_or_die.c/mayble_flush_or_die()), but with no buffering,
this is a NOP that always succeeds (so we never detect the EPIPE error).
Exchange the original console handles with our console thread pipe handles
by accessing the internal MSVCRT data structures directly (which are
exposed via __pioinfo for some reason).
Implement this with minimal assumptions about the actual data structure to
make it work with different (hopefully even future) MSVCRT versions.
While messing with internal data structures is ugly, this patch solves the
problem at the source instead of adding more workarounds. We no longer need
the special winansi_isatty override, and the limitations documented in
"Win32: Thread-safe windows console output" are gone (i.e. fdopen(1/2)
returns unbuffered streams now, and isatty() for duped console file

The Windows environment is sorted, keep it that way for O(log n)
environment access.
Change compareenv to compare only the keys, so that it can be used to
find an entry irrespective of the value.
Change lookupenv to binary seach for an entry. Return one's complement of
the insert position if not found (libc's bsearch returns NULL).
Replace MSVCRT's getenv with a minimal do_getenv based on the binary search
function.
Change do_putenv to insert new entries at the correct position. Simplify
the function by swapping if conditions and using memmove instead of for
loops.
Move qsort from make_environment_block to mingw_startup. We still need to
sort on startup to make sure that the environment is sorted according to
our compareenv function (while Win32 / CreateProcess requires the
environment block to be sorted case-insensitively, CreateProcess currently
doesn't enforce this, and some applications such as bash just don't care).
Note that environment functions are _not_ thread-safe and are not required
to be so by POSIX, the application is responsible for synchronizing access
to the environment. MSVCRT's getenv and our new getenv implementation are
better than that in that they are thread-safe with respect to other getenv
calls as long as the environment is not modified. Git's indiscriminate use
of getenv in background threads currently requires this property.

As of d41489a6 "Add more large blob test cases", git's high-level memory
allocation functions (xmalloc, xmemdupz etc.) access the environment to
simulate limited memory in tests (see 'getenv("GIT_ALLOC_LIMIT")' in
memory_limit_check()). These functions should not be used before the
environment is fully initialized (particularly not to initialize the
environment itself).
The current solution ('environ = NULL; ALLOC_GROW(environ...)') only works
because MSVCRT's getenv() reinitializes environ when it is NULL (i.e. it
leaves us with two sets of unusabe (non-UTF-8) and unfreeable (CRT-
allocated) environments).
Add our own set of malloc-or-die functions to be used in startup code.
Also check the result of __wgetmainargs, which may fail if there's not
enough memory for wide-char arguments and environment.

When spawning child processes via start_command(), the environment and all
environment entries are copied twice. First by make_augmented_environ /
copy_environ to merge with child_process.env. Then a second time by
make_environment_block to create a sorted environment block string as
required by CreateProcess.
Move the merge logic to make_environment_block so that we only need to copy
the environment once. This changes semantics of the env parameter: it now
expects a delta (such as child_process.env) rather than a full environment.
This is not a problem as the parameter is only used by start_command()
(all other callers previously passed char **environ, and now pass NULL).
The merge logic no longer xstrdup()s the environment strings, so do_putenv
must not free them. Add a parameter to distinguish this from normal putenv.

Convert environment from UTF-16 to UTF-8 on startup.
No changes to getenv() are necessary, as the MSVCRT version is implemented
on top of char **environ.
However, putenv / _wputenv from MSVCRT no longer work, for two reasons:
1. they try to keep environ, _wenviron and the Win32 process environment
in sync, using the default system encoding instead of UTF-8 to convert
between charsets
2. msysgit and MSVCRT use different allocators, memory allocated in git
cannot be freed by the CRT and vice versa
Implement mingw_putenv using the env_setenv helper function from the
environment merge code.
Note that in case of memory allocation failure, putenv now dies with error
message (due to xrealloc) instead of failing with ENOMEM. As git assumes
setenv / putenv to always succeed, this prevents it from continuing with
incorrect settings.

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).

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.
