The problem with not having, say, git-receive-pack.exe after a full
build is that the test suite will then happily use the *installed*
git-receive-pack.exe because it finds nothing else.
Absolutely not what we want. We want to have confidence that our test
covers the MSVC-built Git executables, and not some random stuff.

The idea of the `vcxproj` target is to generate .sln/.vcxproj files and
then commit them, to be used elsewhere. Typically, this is done in a
VSTS job whenever `master` changes. So there is little use in
initializing vcpkg and building all the dependencies: they are not
necessary here.

We just introduced a way to build Git for Windows with MSVC on the
command line using vcpkg-generated, up-to-date dependencies. Let's bring
that convenience to the Visual Studio project, too.
(The previous method, fetching NuGet packages, is fraught with problems:
as C++ libraries have to be built for every architecture and for every
toolset, the NuGet packages which we would like to consume fell behind
and are not up-to-date with the current versions of the libraries, e.g.
cURL and OpenSSL. By using vcpkg we avoid that problem, always building
the newest dependency versions.)
The trick is to initialize the VCPKG system once, and then build Git's
dependencies using it. We do that by attaching a pre-build event to the
libgit project (which is now the base project on which all others
depend, therefore no other project is built in paralleli, side-stepping
issues with vcpkg being unprepared for being run in parallel).

It really does depend on libgit. It does not hurt to let it depend on
xdiff, and it makes the code simpler.
It is necessary to get this dependency chain right, because we will
introduce a change where the vcpkg system is initialized before building
libgit. The vcpkg system will then build the dependencies needed by Git
(and thereby make the include headers available):
As the vcpkg system cannot be run in parallel (it does not lock,
wreaking havoc with files being accessed and written at the same time,
letting the vcpkg processes stumble over each others' toes. We prevent
that by ensuring that only one project is built at first: libgit. And
this project's PreBuildEvent will be used to initialize vcpkg and build
all dependencies. Subsequently, the other projects can be built in
parallel.

Dependencies such as cURL and OpenSSL are necessary to build and run
Git. Previously, we obtained those dependencies by fetching NuGet
packages.
However, it is notoriously hard to keep NuGet packages of C/C++
libraries up-to-date, as the toolsets for different Visual Studio
versions are different, and the NuGet packages would have to ship them
all.
That is the reason why the NuGet packages we use are quite old, and even
insecure in the case of cURL and OpenSSL (the versions contain known
security flaws that have been addressed by later versions for which no
NuGet packages are available).
The better way to handle this situation is to use the vcpkg system:
https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
The idea is that a single Git repository contains enough supporting
files to build up-to-date versions of a large number of Open Source
libraries on demand, including cURL and OpenSSL.
We integrate this system via four new .bat files to
1) initialize the vcpkg system,
2) build the packages,
4) set up Git's Makefile system to find the build artifacts, and
3) copy the artifacts into the top-level directory

This topic branch brings slightly experimental changes supporting Git
for Windows to use BusyBox-w32 to execute its shell scripts as well as
its test suite.
The test suite can be run by installing the test artifacts into a MinGit
that has busybox.exe (and using Git for Windows' SDK's Perl for now, as
the test suite requires Perl even when NO_PERL is set, go figure) by
using the `install-mingit-test-artifacts` Makefile target with the
DESTDIR variable pointing to the top-level directory of the MinGit
installation.
To facilitate running the test suite (without having `make` available,
as `make.exe` is not part of MinGit), this branch brings an experimental
patch to the `test-run-command` helper to run Git's test suite. It is
still very experimental, though: in this developer's tests it seemed
that the `poll()` emulation required for `run_parallel_processes()` to
work sometimes hiccups on Windows, causing infinite "hangs". It is also
possible that BusyBox itself has problems writing to the pipes opened by
`test-run-command` (and merging this branch will help investigate
further). Caveat emptor.

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).

In the BusyBox-w32 version that is currently under consideration for
MinGit for Windows (to reduce the .zip size, and to avoid problems with
the MSYS2 runtime), the UTF-16 environment present in Windows is
considered to be authoritative, and the 8-bit version is always in UTF-8
encoding.
As a consequence, the ISO-8859-1 test in t9350-fast-export (which tries
to set GIT_AUTHOR_NAME to a ISO-8859-1 encoded value) *must* fail in
that setup.
So let's detect when it would fail (due to an environment being purely
kept UTF-8 encoded), and skip that test in that case.

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.
We need to take care to quote not only whitespace, but also curly
brackets. As aliases frequently go through the MSYS2 Bash, and
as aliases frequently get parameters such as HEAD@{yesterday}, let's
make sure that this does not regress by adding a test case for that.

On Windows, the current working directory is pretty much guaranteed to
contain a colon. If we feed that path to CVS, it mistakes it for a
separator between host and port, though.
This has not been a problem so far because Git for Windows uses MSYS2's
Bash using a POSIX emulation layer that also pretends that the current
directory is a Unix path (at least as long as we're in a shell script).
However, that is rather limiting, as Git for Windows also explores other
ports of other Unix shells. One of those is BusyBox-w32's ash, which is
a native port (i.e. *not* using any POSIX emulation layer, and certainly
not emulating Unix paths).
So let's just detect if there is a colon in $PWD and punt in that case.

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*.

The TerminateProcess() function does not actually leave the child
processes any chance to perform any cleanup operations. This is bad
insofar as Git itself expects its signal handlers to run.
A symptom is e.g. a left-behind .lock file that would not be left behind
if the same operation was run, say, on Linux.
To remedy this situation, we use an obscure trick: we inject a thread
into the process that needs to be killed and to let that thread run the
ExitProcess() function with the desired exit status. Thanks J Wyman for
describing this trick.
The advantage is that the ExitProcess() function lets the atexit
handlers run. While this is still different from what Git expects (i.e.
running a signal handler), in practice Git sets up signal handlers and
atexit handlers that call the same code to clean up after itself.
In case that the gentle method to terminate the process failed, we still
fall back to calling TerminateProcess(), but in that case we now also
make sure that processes spawned by the spawned process are terminated;
TerminateProcess() does not give the spawned process a chance to do so
itself.
Please note that this change only affects how Git for Windows tries to
terminate processes spawned by Git's own executables. Third-party
software that *calls* Git and wants to terminate it *still* need to make
sure to imitate this gentle method, otherwise this patch will not have
any effect.

We newly handle isatty() by special-casing the stdin/stdout/stderr file
descriptors, caching the return value. However, we missed the case where
dup2() overrides the respective file descriptor.
That poses a problem e.g. where the `show` builtin asks for a pager very
early, the `setup_pager()` function sets the pager depending on the
return value of `isatty()` and then redirects stdout. Subsequently,
`cmd_log_init_finish()` calls `setup_pager()` *again*. What should
happen now is that `isatty()` reports that stdout is *not* a TTY and
consequently stdout should be left alone.

Git for Windows uses MSYS2's Bash to run the test suite, which comes
with benefits but also at a heavy price: on the plus side, MSYS2's
POSIX emulation layer allows us to continue pretending that we are on a
Unix system, e.g. use Unix paths instead of Windows ones, yet this is
bought at a rather noticeable performance penalty.
There *are* some more native ports of Unix shells out there, though,
most notably BusyBox-w32's ash. These native ports do not use any POSIX
emulation layer (or at most a *very* thin one, choosing to avoid
features such as fork() that are expensive to emulate on Windows), and
they use native Windows paths (usually with forward slashes instead of
backslashes, which is perfectly legal in almost all use cases).
And here comes the problem: with a $PWD looking like, say,
C:/git-sdk-64/usr/src/git/t/trash directory.t5813-proto-disable-ssh
Git's test scripts get quite a bit confused, as their assumptions have
been shattered. Not only does this path contain a colon (oh no!), it
also does not start with a slash.
This is a problem e.g. when constructing a URL as t5813 does it:
ssh://remote$PWD. Not only is it impossible to separate the "host" from
the path with a $PWD as above, even prefixing $PWD by a slash won't
work, as /C:/git-sdk-64/... is not a valid path.
As a workaround, detect when $PWD does not start with a slash on
Windows, and simply strip the drive prefix, using an obscure feature of
Windows paths: if an absolute Windows path starts with a slash, it is
implicitly prefixed by the drive prefix of the current directory. As we
are talking about the current directory here, anyway, that strategy
works.

A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified

derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls

An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.
One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.

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.
