On Windows, we would like to be able to have a default http.sslCAinfo
that points to an MSys path (i.e. relative to the installation root of
Git). As Git is a MinGW program, it has to handle the conversion
of the MSys path into a MinGW32 path itself.
Since system_path() considers paths starting with '/' as absolute, we
have to convince it to make a Windows path by stripping the leading
slash.

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.
Test suite:
Test the case is when the full pathname length of a dir is close
to 260 (MAX_PATH).

If multiple threads access a directory that is not yet in the cache, the
directory will be loaded by each thread. Only one of the results is added
to the cache, all others are leaked. This wastes performance and memory.
On cache miss, add a future object to the cache to indicate that the
directory is currently being loaded. Subsequent threads register themselves
with the future object and wait. When the first thread has loaded the
directory, it replaces the future object with the result and notifies
waiting threads.

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'.

When building the `doc` with `asciidoctor`, `asciidoctor` complains about
a nested code block in a callout list. This is a really dirty solution to
restore the callout list to function properly. There is a minimal visual
sideeffect; the *immitated* codeblock has no overall greyish background.
Instead the individual lines have it.
Note: When building this patch with `asciidoc` the background is totally
gone but the font is still monospaced.

Emulating the POSIX lstat API on Windows via GetFileAttributes[Ex] is quite
slow. Windows operating system APIs seem to be much better at scanning the
status of entire directories than checking single files. A caching
implementation may improve performance by bulk-reading entire directories
or reusing data obtained via opendir / readdir.
Make the lstat implementation pluggable so that it can be switched at
runtime, e.g. based on a config option.

The `user-manual.txt` ist designed as a `book` but the `Makefile` wants to
build it as an `article`. This seems to be a problem when building the
documentation with `asciidoctor`. Furthermore the parts *Git Glossary*
and *Apendix B* had no subsections which is not allowed when building with
`asciidoctor`. So lets add a *dummy* section.

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
structure, as d_name may be implementation specific (e.g. a caching
implementation may just set d_name to point into the cache instead of
copying the entire file name string).

With msysGit the .git directory is supposed to be hidden, unless it is
a bare git repository. Test this.
Signed-off-by: Pat Thoyts <patthoyts@users.sourceforge.net>
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]

When you say "!<ENTER>" while running say "git log", you'd confuse
yourself in the resulting shell, that may look as if you took
control back to the original shell you spawned "git log" from but
that isn't what is happening. To that new shell, we leaked
GIT_PAGER_IN_USE environment variable that was meant as a local
communication between the original "Git" and subprocesses that was
spawned by it after we launched the pager, which caused many
"interesting" things to happen, e.g. "git diff | cat" still paints
its output in color by default.
Stop leaking that environment variable to the pager's half of the

Reusing cached data speeds up git-svn by quite a fair bit. However, if
the YAML module is unavailable, the caches are written to disk in an
architecture-dependent manner. That leads to problems when upgrading,
say, from 32-bit to 64-bit Git for Windows.
Let's just try to read those caches back if we detect the absence of the
YAML module and the presence of the file, and delete the file if it
could not be read back correctly.
Note that the only way to catch the error when the memoized cache could
not be read back is to put the call inside an `eval { ... }` block
because it would die otherwise; the `eval` block should also return `1`
in case of success explicitly since the function reading back the cached
data does not return an appropriate value to test for success.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/233.

"new safer autocrlf handling":
- Check if eols in a file are converted at commit, when the file has
CR (or CRLF) in the repo (technically speaking in the index).
- Add a test-file repoMIX with mixed line-endings.
- When converting LF->CRLF or CRLF->LF: check the warnings
checkout_files():
- Checking out CRLF_nul and checking for eol coversion does not
make much sense (CRLF will stay CRLF).
- Use the file LF_nul instead: It is handled a binary in "auto" modes,
and when declared as text the LF may be replaced with CRLF, depending
on the configuration.
