This topic branch teaches the project generator to generate a Visual
Studio solution, ready to be opened in Visual Studio 2010 or later.
The idea, of course, is to let some automatic build job generate and
commit the project files with
make MSVC=1 vcxproj
and then (force-)push to a special-purpose branch.
The major part of this branch thicket concerns itself not only with
generating the Visual Studio project files, but making sure that the
user can then run the test suite from a regular Git Bash (i.e. *not*
requiring a Git for Windows SDK), e.g. by running
cd t
prove --timer --jobs 15 ./t[0-9]*.sh

This topic branch adds the (experimental) --stdin/-z options to `git
reset`. Those patches are still under review in the upstream Git project,
but are already merged in their experimental form into Git for Windows'
`master` branch, in preparation for a MinGit-only release.

With the recent update in efee955 (gpg-interface: check gpg signature
creation status, 2016-06-17), we ask GPG to send all status updates to
stderr, and then catch the stderr in an strbuf.
But GPG might fail, and send error messages to stderr. And we simply
do not show them to the user.
Even worse: this swallows any interactive prompt for a passphrase. And
detaches stderr from the tty so that the passphrase cannot be read.
So while the first problem could be fixed (by printing the captured
stderr upon error), the second problem cannot be easily fixed, and
presents a major regression.
So let's just revert commit efee9553a4.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/871

This branch introduces support for reading the "Windows-wide" Git
configuration from `%PROGRAMDATA%\Git\config`. As these settings are
intended to be shared between *all* Git-related software, that config
file takes an even lower precedence than `$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig`.

These fixes were necessary for Sverre Rabbelier's remote-hg to work,
but for some magic reason they are not necessary for the current
remote-hg. Makes you wonder how that one gets away with it.

Teach register_rename_src() to see if new file pair
can simply be appended to the rename_src[] array before
performing the binary search to find the proper insertion
point.
This is a performance optimization. This routine is called
during run_diff_files in status and the caller is iterating
over the sorted index, so we should expect to be able to
append in the normal case. The existing insert logic is
preserved so we don't have to assume that, but simply take
advantage of it if possible.

This fixes the compilation, actually, as we still did not make the jump to
post-Windows XP completely: we still compile with _WIN32_WINNT set to
0x0502 (which corresponds to Windows Server 2003 and is technically
greater than Windows XP's 0x0501).
However, GetTickCount64() is only available starting with Windows
Vista/Windows Server 2008.
Let's just lazy-load the function, which should also help Git for Windows
contributors who want to reinstate Windows XP support.

When developing Git for Windows, we always have to ensure that we do not
break any non-Windows platforms, e.g. by introducing Windows-specific code
into the platform-independent source code.
At other times, it is necessary to test whether a bug is Windows-specific
or not, in order to send the bug report to the correct place. Having
access to a Linux-based Git comes in really handy in such a situation.
Vagrant offers a painless way to install and use a defined Linux
development environment on Windows (and other Operating Systems). We offer
a Vagrantfile to that end for two reasons:
1) To allow Windows users to gain the full power of Linux' Git
2) To offer users an easy path to verify that the issue they are about
to report is really a Windows-specific issue; otherwise they would
need to report it to git@vger.kernel.org instead.
Using it is easy: Download and install https://www.virtualbox.org/, then
download and install https://www.vagrantup.com/, then direct your
command-line window to the Git source directory containing the Vagrantfile
and run the commands:
vagrant up
vagrant ssh
See https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Vagrant for details.
As part of switching Git for Windows' development environment from msysGit
to the MSys2-based Git SDK, this Vagrantfile was copy-edited from msysGit:

For regular debugging, it is pretty helpful when a debug assertion in a
running application triggers a window that offers to start the debugger.
However, when running the test suite, it is not so helpful, in
particular when the debug assertions are then suppressed anyway because
we disable the invalid parameter checking (via invalidcontinue.obj, see
the comment in config.mak.uname about that object for more information).
So let's simply disable that window in Debug Mode (it is already
disabled in Release Mode).

From Visual Studio 2015 Code Analysis: Warning C28159 Consider using
'GetTickCount64' instead of 'GetTickCount'.
Reason: GetTickCount overflows roughly every 49 days. Code that does not
take that into account can loop indefinitely. GetTickCount64 operates on
64 bit values and does not have that problem.

The entire idea of generating the VS solution makes only sense if we
generate it via Continuous Integration; otherwise potential users would
still have to download the entire Git for Windows SDK.
So let's just add a target in the Makefile that can be used to generate
said solution; The generated files will then be committed so that they
can be pushed to a branch ready to check out by Visual Studio users.
To make things even more useful, we also generate and commit other files
that are required to run the test suite, such as templates and
bin-wrappers: with this, developers can run the test suite in a regular
Git Bash (that is part of a regular Git for Windows installation) after
building the solution in Visual Studio.

When building with Microsoft Visual C, we use NuGet to acquire the
dependencies (such as OpenSSL, cURL, etc). We even unpack those
dependencies.
This patch teaches the test suite to add the directory with the unpacked
.dll files to the PATH before running the tests.

We already unpack the NuGet packages in a certain place, via
compat/vcbuild/Makefile. Let's let Visual Studio use the very same place.
