d28250654f Windows: Fix signal numbers
We had defined some SIG_FOO macros that appear in the code, but that are
not supported on Windows, in order to make the code compile.  But a
subsequent change will assert that a signal number is non-zero.  We now
use the signal numbers that are commonly used on POSIX systems.

632f701787 compat/mingw.c: Teach mingw_rename() to replace read-only files
On POSIX, rename() can replace files that are not writable. On Windows,
however, read-only files cannot be replaced without additional efforts:
We have to make the destination writable first.

Since the situations where the destination is read-only are rare, we do not
make the destination writable on every invocation, but only if the first
try to rename a file failed with an "access denied" error.

19fb896f5b Windows: Make OpenSSH properly detect tty detachment.
Apparently, CREATE_NO_WINDOW makes the OS tell the process
that it has a console, but without actually creating the
window. As a result, when git is started from GUI, ssh
tries to ask its questions on the invisible console.

This patch uses DETACHED_PROCESS instead, which clearly
means that the process should be left without a console.
The downside is that if the process manually calls
AllocConsole, the window will appear. A similar thing
might occur if it calls another console executable.

797484392a compat/cygwin.c: make runtime detection of lstat/stat lessor impact
The original patch that lead to an earlier commit adbc0b6 (cygwin: Use
native Win32 API for stat, 2008-09-30) did not call git_default_config()
and it was a good thing.  The lazy config reading when lstat/stat is
called for the first time to find out if core.filemode is set can happen
anytime in the calling program.  If it happens after the calling program
parsed the configuration file to prime its default parameter settings and
processed its command line parameters to tweak them, this will overwrite
the values set by the program with the values read from the config file.

This essentially reverts the code to the version as submitted by Mark,
with a bit more comments to clarify why we do not fall back on the default
configuration parser from git_cygwin_config().

7faee6b8de compat/cygwin.c - Use cygwin's stat if core.filemode == true
Cygwin's POSIX emulation allows use of core.filemode true, unlike native
Window's implementation of stat / lstat, and Cygwin/git users who have
configured core.filemode true in various repositories will be very
unpleasantly surprised to find that git is no longer honoring that option.
So, this patch forces use of Cygwin's stat functions if core.filemode is
set true, regardless of any other considerations.

adbc0b6b6e cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat
lstat/stat functions in Cygwin are very slow, because they try to emulate
some *nix things that Git does not actually need. This patch adds Win32
specific implementation of these functions for Cygwin.

This implementation handles most situation directly but in some rare cases
it falls back on the implementation provided for Cygwin. This is necessary
for two reasons:

- Cygwin has its own file hierarchy, so absolute paths used in Cygwin is
  not suitable to be used Win32 API. cygwin_conv_to_win32_path can not be
  used because it automatically dereference Cygwin symbol links, also it
  causes extra syscall. Fortunately Git rarely use absolute paths, so we
  always use Cygwin implementation for absolute paths.

- Support of symbol links. Cygwin stores symbol links as ordinary using
  one of two possible formats. Therefore, the fast implementation falls
  back to Cygwin functions if it detects potential use of symbol links.

The speed of this implementation should be the same as mingw_lstat for
common cases, but it is considerable slower when the specified file name
does not exist.

Despite all efforts to make the fast implementation as robust as possible,
it may not work well for some very rare situations. I am aware only one
situation: use Cygwin mount to bind unrelated paths inside repository
together.  Therefore, the core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks configuration option is
provided, which controls whether native or Cygwin version of stat is used.

3632cfc248 Use compatibility regex library for OSX/Darwin
The standard libc regex library on OSX does not support alternation
in POSIX Basic Regular Expression mode.  This breaks the diff.funcname
functionality on OSX.

To fix this, we use the GNU regex library which is already present in
the compat/ diretory for the MinGW port.  However, simply adding compat/
to the COMPAT_CFLAGS variable causes a conflict between the system
fnmatch.h and the one present in compat/.  To remedy this, move the
regex and fnmatch functionality to their own subdirectories in compat/
so they can be included seperately.

a81892dd8c compat/snprintf.c: handle snprintf's that always return the # chars transmitted
Some platforms provide a horribly broken snprintf. More broken than the
platforms that return -1 when there is too little space in the target buffer
for the formatted string. Some platforms provide an snprintf which _always_
returns the number of characters transmitted to the buffer, regardless of
whether there was enough space or not.

IRIX 6.5 is such a platform. IRIX does have a working snprintf(), but it
is only provided when _NO_XOPEN5 evaluates to zero, and this only happens
if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, but definition of _XOPEN_SOURCE prevents
inclusion of many other common functions and defines. So it must be avoided.

Work around these horribly broken snprintf implementations by detecting an
snprintf call which results in the number of transmitted characters exactly
equal to the length of our buffer and retrying with a larger buffer just to
be safe.

fdb2a2a600 compat: introduce on_disk_bytes()
Some platforms do not have st_blocks member in "struct stat"; mingw
already emulates it by rounding it up to closest 512-byte blocks (even
though it could overcount when a file has holes).

The reason to use the member is only to figure out how many kilobytes the
files occupy on-disk, so give a helper function in git-compat-util.h to
compute this value.

35eeef4722 Windows: Make sure argv[0] has a path
Since the exec-path on Windows is derived from the program invocation path,
we must ensure that argv[0] always has a path. Unfortunately, if a program
is invoked from CMD, argv[0] has no path. But on the other hand, the
C runtime offers a global variable, _pgmptr, that always has the full path
to the program. We hook into main() with a preprocessor macro, where we
replace argv[0].

4804aabcdb help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows' shell API
The system's default browser for displaying HTML help pages is now used
directly on Windows, instead of launching git-web--browser, which
requires a Unix shell.  Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good
because it avoids potential path translation issues.  In this case it is
not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it.

The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid
platform-specific code in the main code base.  On Windows, open_html is
provided as a define.  If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is
used.  This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using
per-function ifdefs.  The "ifndef open_html" together with the
introductory comment should sufficiently warn developers, so that they
hopefully will not break this mechanism.

cd800eecc2 Windows: Fix ntohl() related warnings about printf formatting
On Windows, ntohl() returns unsigned long.  On Unix it returns
uint32_t.  This makes choosing a suitable printf format string
hard.

This commit introduces a mingw specific helper function
git_ntohl() that casts to unsigned int before returning.  This
makes gcc's printf format check happy.  It should be safe because
we expect ntohl to use 32-bit numbers.

5411bdc4e4 Windows: Add a new lstat and fstat implementation based on Win32 API.
This gives us a significant speedup when adding, committing and stat'ing files.
Also, since Windows doesn't really handle symlinks, we let stat just uses lstat.
We also need to replace fstat, since our implementation and the standard stat()
functions report slightly different timestamps, possibly due to timezones.

We simply report UTC in our implementation, and do our FILETIME to time_t
conversion based on the document at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/167296.

With Moe's repo structure (100K files in 100 dirs, containing 2-4 bytes)
    mkdir bummer && cd bummer; for ((i=0;i<100;i++)); do
      mkdir $i && pushd $i;
        for ((j=0;j<1000;j++)); do echo "$j" >$j; done;
      popd;
    done

clever when a console program is invoked from a GUI application: In this
case it sometimes automatically allocates a new console window. As a
consequence, the IO channels of the spawned program are directed to the
console, but the invoking application listens on channels that are now
directed to nowhere.

In this implementation we use the lowlevel facilities of CreateProcess(),
which offers a flag to tell the system not to open a console. As a side
effect, only stdin, stdout, and stderr channels will be accessible from
C programs that are spawned. Other channels (file handles, pipe handles,
etc.) are still inherited by the spawned program, but it doesn't get
enough information to access them.

Johannes Schindelin integrated path quoting and unified the various
*execv* and *spawnv* helpers. Eric Raible suggested to also quote '{'.

746fb85744 Windows: Implement wrappers for gethostbyname(), socket(), and connect().
gethostbyname() is the first function that calls into the Winsock library,
and it is wrapped only to initialize the library.

socket() is wrapped for two reasons:
- Windows's socket() creates things that are like low-level file handles,
  and they must be converted into file descriptors first.
- And these handles cannot be used with plain ReadFile()/WriteFile()
  because they are opened for "overlapped IO". We have to use WSASocket()
  to create non-overlapped IO sockets.

connect() must be wrapped because Windows's connect() expects the low-level
sockets, not file descriptors, and we must first unwrap the file descriptor
before we can pass it on to Windows's connect().

6ed807f843 Windows: A rudimentary poll() emulation.
This emulation of poll() is by far not general. It assumes that the
fds that are to be waited for are connected to pipes. The pipes are
polled in a loop until data becomes available in at least one of them.
If only a single fd is waited for, the implementation actually does
not wait at all, but assumes that a subsequent read() will block.

In order not to needlessly burn CPU time, the CPU is yielded to other
processes before the next round in the poll loop using Sleep(0). Note that
any sleep timeout greater than zero will reduce the efficiency by a
magnitude.

ba26f296f9 Windows: Implement start_command().
On Windows, we have spawnv() variants to run a child process instead of
fork()/exec(). In order to attach pipe ends to stdin, stdout, and stderr,
we have to use this idiom:

    save1 = dup(1);
    dup2(pipe[1], 1);
    spawnv();
    dup2(save1, 1);
    close(pipe[1]);

assuming that the descriptors created by pipe() are not inheritable.

897bb8cb2c Windows: A pipe() replacement whose ends are not inherited to children.
On Unix the idiom to use a pipe is as follows:

    pipe(fd);
    pid = fork();
    if (!pid) {
        dup2(fd[1], 1);
        close(fd[1]);
        close(fd[0]);
        ...
     }
     close(fd[1]);

i.e. the child process closes the both pipe ends after duplicating one
to the file descriptors where they are needed.

On Windows, which does not have fork(), we never have an opportunity to
(1) duplicate a pipe end in the child, (2) close unused pipe ends. Instead,
we must use this idiom:

    save1 = dup(1);
    pipe(fd);
    dup2(fd[1], 1);
    spawn(...);
    dup2(save1, 1);
    close(fd[1]);

i.e. save away the descriptor at the destination slot, replace by the pipe
end, spawn process, restore the saved file.

But there is a problem: Notice that the child did not only inherit the
dup2()ed descriptor, but also *both* original pipe ends. Although the one
end that was dup()ed could be closed before the spawn(), we cannot close
the other end - the child inherits it, no matter what.

The solution is to generate non-inheritable pipes. At the first glance,
this looks strange: The purpose of pipes is usually to be inherited to
child processes. But notice that in the course of actions as outlined
above, the pipe descriptor that we want to inherit to the child is
dup2()ed, and as it so happens, Windows's dup2() creates inheritable
duplicates.

f1a4dfb85a Windows: Wrap execve so that shell scripts can be invoked.
When an external git command is invoked, it can be a Bourne shell script.
This patch looks into the command file to see whether it is one.
In this case, the command line is rearranged to invoke the shell
with the proper arguments.

With this change, scripted git commands work. Command line arguments
to those scripts cannot be complex (contain spaces or double-quotes), yet.

6072fc314e Windows: Implement setitimer() and sigaction().
The timer is implemented using a thread that calls the signal handler
at regular intervals.

We also replace Windows's signal() function because we must intercept
that SIGALRM is set (which is used when a timer is canceled).
