On Windows, there are dramatic problems when a command line grows
beyond PATH_MAX, which is restricted to 8191 characters on XP and
later (according to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473).
Work around this by just cutting off the command line at that length
(actually, at a space boundary) in the hope that only negative
refs are chucked: gitk will then do unnecessary work, but that is
still better than flashing the gitk window and exiting with exit
status 5 (which no Windows user is able to make sense of).
This fixes msysGit issue 387.

On Windows the Control-C binding is used to copy and is mapped to the Tk
virtual event <<Copy>>. In the initial git-gui dialog this is also bound
as an accelerator for the Clone menu item. The effect is that both bindings
run, copying the text but resetting the clone page or switching to the clone
page when the user tries to copy text from one of the entry fields.
This patch avoids this by using Control-L instead for Windows only.

Make use of the new environment variable GIT_ASK_YESNO to support the
recently implemented fallback in case unlink, rename or rmdir fail for
files in use on Windows. The added dialog will present a yes/no question
to the the user which will currently be used by the windows compat layer
to let the user retry a failed file operation.

The same logic as for unlink and rename also applies to rmdir. For
example in case you have a shell open in a git controlled folder. This
will easily fail. So lets be nice for such cases as well.

On Windows in case a program is accessing a file unlink or
move operations may fail. To give the user a chance to correct
this we simply wait until the user asks us to retry or fail.
This is useful because of the following use case which seem
to happen rarely but when it does it is a mess:
After making some changes the user realizes that he was on the
incorrect branch. When trying to change the branch some file
is still in use by some other process and git stops in the
middle of changing branches. Now the user has lots of files
with changes mixed with his own. This is especially confusing
on repositories that contain lots of files.
Although the recent implementation of automatic retry makes
this scenario much more unlikely lets provide a fallback as
a last resort.

When the user tried to create a desktop icon with git gui on cygwin

When creating a desktop shortcut from the gui the shortcut directly
starts wish with the git-gui script. In the msysgit development
environment some dll's reside in the mingw/bin directory which causes
that git can not start because libiconv2.dll is not found.
When using such a link the error is even more cryptic stating:
"child killed: unknown signal"

It has already been fixed in commit 454efb47 (git-gui (Win): make
"Explore Working Copy" more robust, 2009-04-01), but has been broken in
commit 21985a11 (git-gui: handle non-standard worktree locations,
2010-01-23) by accidentally replacing too much with a new variable.
The problem can be reproduced when starting git-gui from within a
subdirectory. The solution is to convert the path name, explorer.exe is
invoked with, to a platform native name.

Commit 21985a11 'git-gui: handle non-standard worktree locations' attempts
to use either GIT_WORK_TREE or core.worktree to set the _gitworktree
variable but these may not be set which leads to a failure to launch
gitk to review history. Use _gitdir to set the location for a standard
git layout where the parent of the .git directory is the working tree.

If a file is opened by another process (e.g. indexing of an IDE) for
reading it is not allowed to be deleted. So in case unlink fails retry
after waiting for some time. This extends the workaround from 6ac6f878.

These two tests fail on msysGit because /dev/null is an alias for nul on
Windows and when reading the value back from git config the alias does
not match the real filename. Also the HOME environment variable has a
unix-style path but git returns a native equivalent path for '~'. As
these are platform-dependent equivalent results it seems simplest to
skip the test entirely.

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'.
[jes: clarified the commit message, made git init respect the setting
by marking the .git/ directory only after reading the config, and added
documentation, and rebased on top of current junio/next]
