These fixes were necessary for Sverre Rabbelier's remote-hg to work,
but for some magic reason they are not necessary for the current

Ensure that when passing a pipe, the gnulib poll replacement will not
return 0 before the timeout has passed.
Not obeying the timeout (and merely returning 0) causes pathological
behavior when preparing a packfile for a repository and taking a
long time to do so. If poll were to return 0 immediately, this would
cause keep-alives to get sent as quickly as possible until the packfile
was created. Such deviance from the standard would cause megabytes (or
more) of keep-alive packets to be sent.
GetTickCount is used as it is efficient, stable and monotonically
increasing. (Neither GetSystemTime nor QueryPerformanceCounter have
all three of these properties.)
Since commit 0c499ea60f the send-pack builtin uses the side-band-64k
capability if advertised by the server.
Unfortunately this breaks pushing over the dump git protocol if used
over a network connection.
The detailed reasons for this breakage are (by courtesy of Jeff Preshing,
quoted from ttps://groups.google.com/d/msg/msysgit/at8D7J-h7mw/eaLujILGUWoJ):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MinGW wraps Windows sockets in CRT file descriptors in order to mimic the
functionality of POSIX sockets. This causes msvcrt.dll to treat sockets as
Installable File System (IFS) handles, calling ReadFile, WriteFile,
DuplicateHandle and CloseHandle on them. This approach works well in simple
cases on recent versions of Windows, but does not support all usage patterns.
In particular, using this approach, any attempt to read & write concurrently
on the same socket (from one or more processes) will deadlock in a scenario
where the read waits for a response from the server which is only invoked after
the write. This is what send_pack currently attempts to do in the use_sideband
codepath.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new config option "sendpack.sideband" allows to override the side-band-64k
capability of the server, and thus makes the dump git protocol work.
Other transportation methods like ssh and http/https still benefit from
the sideband channel, therefore the default value of "sendpack.sideband"
is still true.

With this patch we properly support SOCKS proxies, configured e.g. like
this:
git config http.proxy socks5://192.168.67.1:32767
Without this patch, Git mistakenly tries to use SOCKS proxies as if they
were HTTP proxies, resulting in a error message like:
fatal: unable to access 'http://.../': Proxy CONNECT aborted

MinGW builds of cURL does not ship with curl-config unless built
with the autoconf based build system, which is not the practice
recommended by the documentation. MsysGit has had issues with
binaries of that sort, so it has switched away from autoconf-based
cURL-builds.
Unfortunately, broke pushing over WebDAV on Windows, because
http-push.c depends on cURL's multi-threaded API, which we could
not determine the presence of any more.
Since troublesome curl-versions are ancient, and not even present
in RedHat 5, let's just assume cURL is capable instead of doing a
non-robust check.
Instead, add a check for curl_multi_init to our configure-script,
for those on ancient system. They probably already need to do the
configure-dance anyway.

The previous implementation said that the filesystem information on
Windows is not reliable to determine whether a file is executable.
To find gather this information it was peeking into the first two bytes
of a file to see whether it looks executable.
Apart from the fact that on Windows executables are usually defined as
such by their extension it lead to slow opening of help file in some
situations.
When you have virus scanner running calling open on an executable file
is a potentially expensive operation. See the following measurements (in
seconds) for example.
With virus scanner running (coldcache):
$ ./a.exe /libexec/git-core/

7ebac8cb94 made launching of .exe
externals work when installed in Unicode paths. But it broke launching
of non-.exe externals, no matter where they were installed. We now
correctly maintain the UTF-8 and UTF-16 paths in tandem in lookup_prog.
This fixes t5526, among others.

If Git were installed in a path containing non-ASCII characters,
commands such as git-am and git-submodule, which are implemented as
externals, would fail to launch with the following error:
> fatal: 'am' appears to be a git command, but we were not
> able to execute it. Maybe git-am is broken?
This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow
missed in 2ee5a1a14a.
Note that the only problem in this function was calling
GetFileAttributes instead of GetFileAttributesW. The calls to access()
were fine because access() is a macro which resolves to mingw_access,
which already handles Unicode correctly. But I changed lookup_prog to
use _waccess directly so that we only convert the path to UTF-16 once.

After importing anything with fast-import, we should always let the
garbage collector do its job, since the objects are written to disk
inefficiently.
This brings down an initial import of http://selenic.com/hg from about
230 megabytes to about 14.
In the future, we may want to make this configurable on a per-remote
basis, or maybe teach fast-import about it in the first place.

Again, avoid using echo (which issues DOS line endings on msysGit) to not mix
with Unix line-endings issued by git built-ins, even if this is at the cost of
calling an external executable (cat) instead of a shell built-in (echo).

As per https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d.aspx:
The set of available locale names, languages, country/region
codes, and code pages includes all those supported by the Windows
NLS API except code pages that require more than two bytes per
character, such as UTF-7 and UTF-8.
Therefore, MinGW gettext cannot cope with UTF-8 at all, because it uses
the Win32 API internally.
However, when the test asks `locale -a` it reports that is_US.utf8 is
available, because that `locale` is actually an *MSys2* program (and MSys2
can cope with UTF-8 alright).
Let's just skip this test for MinGW Git altogether.

There is a MinGW gettext.exe, but still no MinGW locale.exe. Instead the
MSys2 locale.exe kicks in, which corresponds to the MSys2 gettext.exe,
however. Therefore some assumptions of t0200 cannot be fulfilled when

Without this patch, t0027 expects the native end-of-lines to be a single
line feed character. On Windows, however, we set it to a carriage return
character followed by a line feed character. Thus, we have to modify
t0027 to expect different warnings depending on the end-of-line markers.

A string of the form "@/abcd" is considered a file path
by the msys layer and therefore translated to a windows path.
Here the trick is to double the slashes.
The msys patch translation can be studied with the following
test program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
unsigned int i;
for(i=1; i < argc; i++)
printf("argv[%d]=%s\n",i, argv[i]);
exit(0);

MSys works very hard to convert Unix-style paths into DOS-style ones.
*Very* hard.
So hard, indeed, that
git blame -L/hello/,/green/
is translated into something like
git blame -LC:/msysgit/hello/,C:/msysgit/green/
As seen in msys_p2w in src\msys\msys\rt\src\winsup\cygwin\path.cc, line
3204ff:
case '-':
//
// here we check for POSIX paths as attributes to a POSIX switch.
//
...
seemingly absolute POSIX paths in single-letter options get expanded by
msys.dll unless they contain '=' or ';'.
So a quick and very dirty fix is to use '-L/;*evil/'. (Using an equal sign
works only when it is before a comma, so in the above example, /=*green/
would still be converted to a DOS-style path.)
