Previous build attempt could be aborted, so the folder will exist but
the project will not be built properly.

This is part two of the Ctrl+C story, where part one is
https://github.com/git-for-windows/MSYS2-packages/commit/f4fda0f30aa.
Part one took care of extending the signal handling in the MSYS2 runtime
such that non-MSYS2 processes "receive" a SIGINT by injecting a remote
thread that runs kernel32!CtrlRoutine as if GenerateConsoleCtrlHandler()
had been called (but in contrast to the latter, only one process is
targeted at a time, not every process attached to the same Console) into
the process that needs to be interrupted as well as into all of the
spawned child processes.
Part two now takes care of removing the misguided "kill all spawned
children" atexit() handler, and it also installs a ConsoleCtrl handler
to run Git's SIGINT handlers, such as the one waiting for the pager to
exit.

Previously, we did not install any handler for Ctrl+C, but now we really
want to because the MSYS2 runtime learned the trick to call the
ConsoleCtrlHandler when Ctrl+C was pressed.
With this, hitting Ctrl+C while `git log` is running will only terminate
the Git process, but not the pager. This finally matches the behavior on
Linux and on macOS.

When working in the root directory of a file share (this is only
possible in Git Bash and Powershell, but not in CMD), the current
directory is reported without a trailing slash.
This is different from Unix and standard Windows directories: both / and
C:\ are reported with a trailing slash as current directories.
If a Git worktree is located there, Git is not quite prepared for that:
while it does manage to find the .git directory/file, it returns as
length of the top-level directory's path *one more* than the length of
the current directory, and setup_git_directory_gently() would then
return an undefined string as prefix.
In practice, this undefined string usually points to NUL bytes, and does
not cause much harm. Under rare circumstances that are really involved
to reproduce (and not reliably so), the reported prefix could be a
suffix string of Git's exec path, though.
A careful analysis determined that this bug is unlikely to be
exploitable, therefore we mark this as a regular bug fix.

We ran out of GUIDs in the script generating Visual Studio project

For extra goodness, we now generate GUIDs that are not random, but are

That way, the project<->GUID mapping is stable.

To support Git Bash running in a MinTTY, we use a dirty trick to access
the MSYS2 pseudo terminal: we execute a Bash snippet that accesses
/dev/tty.
The idea was to fall back to writing to/reading from CONOUT$/CONIN$ if
that Bash call failed because Bash was not found.
However, we should fall back even in other error conditions, because we
have not successfully read the user input. Let's make it so.

When trying to query the user directly via /dev/tty, both WSL's bash and
BusyBox' bash emulation seem to have problems printing the value that
they just read. The bash just stops in those instances, does not even
execute any commands after the echo command.
Let's just work around this by running the Bash snippet only in MSYS2's
Bash: its `SHELL` variable has the `.exe` suffix, and neither WSL's nor
BusyBox' bash set the `SHELL` variable to a path with that suffix. In
the latter case, we simply exit with code 127 (indicating that the
command was not found) and fall back to the CONIN$/CONOUT$ method
quietly.

When spawning child processes, we do want them to inherit the standard
handles so that we can talk to them. We do *not* want them to inherit
any other handle, as that would hold a lock to the respective files
(preventing them from being renamed, modified or deleted), and the child
process would not know how to access that handle anyway.
Happily, there is an API to make that happen. It is supported in Windows
Vista and later, which is exactly what we promise to support in Git for
Windows for the time being.
This also means that we lift, at long last, the target Windows version
from Windows XP to Windows Vista.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
By default, CreateProcess() does not inherit any open file handles,
unless the bInheritHandles parameter is set to TRUE. Which we do need to
set because we need to pass in stdin/stdout/stderr to talk to the child
processes. Sadly, this means that all file handles (unless marked via
O_NOINHERIT) are inherited.
This lead to problems in GVFS Git, where a long-running read-object hook
is used to hydrate missing objects, and depending on the circumstances,
might only be called *after* Git opened a file handle.
Ideally, we would not open files without O_NOINHERIT unless *really*
necessary (i.e. when we want to pass the opened file handle as standard
handle into a child process), but apparently it is all-too-easy to
introduce incorrect open() calls: this happened, and prevented updating
a file after the read-object hook was started because the hook still
held a handle on said file.
Happily, there is a solution: as described in the "Old New Thing"
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20111216-00/?p=8873 there
is a way, starting with Windows Vista, that lets us define precisely
which handles should be inherited by the child process.
And since we bumped the minimum Windows version for use with Git for
Windows to Vista with v2.10.1 (i.e. a *long* time ago), we can use this
method. So let's do exactly that.
We need to make sure that the list of handles to inherit does not
contain duplicates; Otherwise CreateProcessW() would fail with
ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT.
While at it, stop setting errno to ENOENT unless it really is the
correct value.
Also, fall back to not limiting handle inheritance under certain error
conditions (e.g. on Windows 7, which is a lot stricter in what handles
you can specify to limit to).

This patch should logically come before the patch which tries to limit
the list of file handles to be inherited by spawned processes, to avoid
introducing a regression before resolving it.
mingw: work around incorrect standard handles
For some reason, when being called via TortoiseGit the standard handles,
or at least what is returned by _get_osfhandle(0) for standard input,
can take on the value (HANDLE)-2 (which is not a legal value, according
to the documentation).
Even if this value is not documented anywhere, CreateProcess() seems to
work fine without complaints if hStdInput set to this value.
In contrast, the upcoming code to restrict which file handles get
inherited by spawned processes would result in `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER`
when including such handle values in the list.
To help this, special-case the value (HANDLE)-2 returned by
_get_osfhandle() and replace it with INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE, which will
hopefully let the handle inheritance restriction work even when called
from TortoiseGit.

Quite some time ago, a last plea to the XP users out there who want to
see Windows XP support in Git for Windows, asking them to get engaged

It is time to codify the ascent by the "silent majority" of XP users,
and mark the minimum Windows version required for Git for Windows as
Windows Vista.
This, incidentally, lets us use quite a few nice new APIs.

handles we let them inherit.
This is doubly important on Windows, where we cannot rename, delete, or

When I do git fetch, git call file stats under .git/objects for each
refs. This takes time when there are many refs.
By enabling fscache, git takes file stats by directory traversing and that

refs.
In my windows workstation, this improves the time of `git fetch` for
chromium repository like below. I took stats 3 times.

Git for Windows supports the core.longPaths config setting to allow
writing/reading long paths via the \\?\ trick for a long time now.
However, for that support to work, it is absolutely necessary that
git_default_config() is given a chance to parse the config. Otherwise
Git will be non the wiser.
So let's make sure that as many commands that previously failed to
parse the core.* settings now do that, implicitly enabling long path
support in a lot more places.
Note: this is not a perfect solution, and it cannot be, as there is
a chicken-and-egg problem in reading the config itself...

From the documentation of said setting:
This boolean will enable fsync() when writing object files.
This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that
orders data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems
that do not use journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or
that only journal metadata and not file contents (OS X’s HFS+,
or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
The most common file system on Windows (NTFS) does not guarantee that
order, therefore a sudden loss of power (or any other event causing an
unclean shutdown) would cause corrupt files (i.e. files filled with
NULs). Therefore we need to change the default.
Note that the documentation makes it sound as if this causes really bad
performance. In reality, writing loose objects is something that is done
only rarely, and only a handful of files at a time.

Fix regression described in:
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1392
which was introduced in:
b2353379bb
Problem Symptoms
================
When the user has a .gitignore file that is a symlink, the fscache
optimization introduced above caused the stat-data from the symlink,
rather that of the target file, to be returned. Later when the ignore
file was read, the buffer length did not match the stat.st_size field
and we called die("cannot use <path> as an exclude file")
Optimization Rationale
======================
The above optimization calls lstat() before open() primarily to ask
fscache if the file exists. It gets the current stat-data as a side
effect essentially for free (since we already have it in memory).
If the file does not exist, it does not need to call open(). And
since very few directories have .gitignore files, we can greatly
reduce time spent in the filesystem.
Discussion of Fix
=================
The above optimization calls lstat() rather than stat() because the
fscache only intercepts lstat() calls. Calls to stat() stay directed
to the mingw_stat() completly bypassing fscache. Furthermore, calls
to mingw_stat() always call {open, fstat, close} so that symlinks are
properly dereferenced, which adds *additional* open/close calls on top
of what the original code in dir.c is doing.
Since the problem only manifests for symlinks, we add code to overwrite
the stat-data when the path is a symlink. This preserves the effect of
the performance gains provided by the fscache in the normal case.

is_fscache_enabled() now takes a pathname so that the answer

paths, we can avoid attempting lookups for absolute paths.
