In Git-for-Windows, work on using ARM64 has progressed. The
commit 2d94b77 (cmake: allow building for Windows/ARM64, 2020-12-04)
failed to notice that /compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat will default to
using the "x64-windows" architecture for the vcpkg installation if not set,
but CMake is not told of this default. Commit 635b6d9 (vcbuild: install
ARM64 dependencies when building ARM64 binaries, 2020-01-31) later updated
vcpkg_install.bat to accept an arch (%1) parameter, but retained the default.

This default is neccessary for the use case where the project directory is
opened directly in Visual Studio, which will find and build a CMakeLists.txt
file without any parameters, thus expecting use of the default setting.

Also Visual studio will generate internal .sln solution and .vcxproj project
files needed for some extension tools. Inform users of the additional
.sln/.vcxproj generation.

** How to test:
 rm -rf '.vs' # remove old visual studio settings
 rm -rf 'compat/vcbuild/vcpkg' # remove any vcpkg downloads
 rm -rf 'contrib/buildsystems/out' # remove builds & CMake artifacts
 with a fresh Visual Studio Community Edition, File>>Open>>(git *folder*)

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.

On Windows, there are several categories of absolute paths. One such
category starts with a backslash and is implicitly relative to the drive
associated with the current working directory. Example:

	c:
	git clone https://github.com/git-for-windows/git \G4W

should clone into C:\G4W.

Windows' equivalent to "bind mounts", NTFS junction points, can be
unlinked without affecting the mount target. This is clearly what users
expect to happen when they call `git clean -dfx` in a worktree that

Thorough benchmarking with repacking a subset of linux.git (the commit
history reachable from 93a6fef ([PATCH] fix the SYSCTL=n compilation,
2007-02-28), to be precise) suggest that this allocator is on par, in
multi-threaded situations maybe even better than nedmalloc:

`git repack -adfq` with mimalloc, 8 threads:

31.166991900 27.576763800 28.712311000 27.373859000 27.163141900

`git repack -adfq` with nedmalloc, 8 threads:

31.915032900 27.149883100 28.244933700 27.240188800 28.580849500

In a different test using GitHub Actions build agents (probably
single-threaded, a core-strength of nedmalloc)):

`git repack -q -d -l -A --unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago` with mimalloc:

943.426 978.500 939.709 959.811 954.605

`git repack -q -d -l -A --unpack-unreachable=2.weeks.ago` with nedmalloc:

995.383 952.179 943.253 963.043 980.468

While these measurements were not executed with complete scientific
rigor, as no hardware was set aside specifically for these benchmarks,
it shows that mimalloc and nedmalloc perform almost the same, nedmalloc
with a bit higher variance and also slightly higher average (further
testing suggests that nedmalloc performs worse in multi-threaded
situations than in single-threaded ones).

In short: mimalloc seems to be slightly better suited for our purposes
than nedmalloc.

Seeing that mimalloc is developed actively, while nedmalloc ceased to
see any updates in eight years, let's use mimalloc on Windows instead.

Since commit 0c499ea (send-pack: demultiplex a sideband stream with
status data, 2010-02-05) 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 https://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 dumb 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.

The native Windows HTTPS backend is based on Secure Channel which lets
the caller decide how to handle revocation checking problems caused by
missing information in the certificate or offline CRL distribution
points.

Unfortunately, cURL chose to handle these problems differently than
OpenSSL by default: while OpenSSL happily ignores those problems
(essentially saying "¯\_(ツ)_/¯"), the Secure Channel backend will error
out instead.

As a remedy, the "no revoke" mode was introduced, which turns off
revocation checking altogether. This is a bit heavy-handed. We support
this via the `http.schannelCheckRevoke` setting.

In curl/curl#4981, we contributed an opt-in
"best effort" strategy that emulates what OpenSSL seems to do.

In Git for Windows, we actually want this to be the default. This patch
makes it so, introducing it as a new value for the
`http.schannelCheckRevoke" setting, which now becmes a tristate: it
accepts the values "false", "true" or "best-effort" (defaulting to the
last one).

Testing the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS processing can be difficult

On Windows, symbolic links actually have a type depending on the target:
it can be a file or a directory.

In certain circumstances, this poses problems, e.g. when a symbolic link
is supposed to point into a submodule that is not checked out, so there
is no way for Git to auto-detect the type.

To help with that, we will add support over the course of the next
commits to specify that symlink type via the Git attributes. This
requires an index_state, though, something that Git for Windows'
`symlink()` replacement cannot know about because the function signature
is defined by the POSIX standard and not ours to change.

So let's introduce a helper function to create symbolic links that
*does* know about the index_state.

On Windows, symbolic links have a type: a "file symlink" must point at
a file, and a "directory symlink" must point at a directory. If the
type of symlink does not match its target, it doesn't work.

Git does not record the type of symlink in the index or in a tree. On
checkout it'll guess the type, which only works if the target exists
at the time the symlink is created. This may often not be the case,
for example when the link points at a directory inside a submodule.

By specifying `symlink=file` or `symlink=dir` the user can specify what
type of symlink Git should create, so Git doesn't have to rely on
unreliable heuristics.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Git for Windows uses MSYS2's Bash to run the test suite, which comes
with benefits but also at a heavy price: on the plus side, MSYS2's
POSIX emulation layer allows us to continue pretending that we are on a
Unix system, e.g. use Unix paths instead of Windows ones, yet this is
bought at a rather noticeable performance penalty.

There *are* some more native ports of Unix shells out there, though,
most notably BusyBox-w32's ash. These native ports do not use any POSIX
emulation layer (or at most a *very* thin one, choosing to avoid
features such as fork() that are expensive to emulate on Windows), and
they use native Windows paths (usually with forward slashes instead of
backslashes, which is perfectly legal in almost all use cases).

And here comes the problem: with a $PWD looking like, say,
C:/git-sdk-64/usr/src/git/t/trash directory.t5813-proto-disable-ssh
Git's test scripts get quite a bit confused, as their assumptions have
been shattered. Not only does this path contain a colon (oh no!), it
also does not start with a slash.

This is a problem e.g. when constructing a URL as t5813 does it:
ssh://remote$PWD. Not only is it impossible to separate the "host" from
the path with a $PWD as above, even prefixing $PWD by a slash won't
work, as /C:/git-sdk-64/... is not a valid path.

As a workaround, detect when $PWD does not start with a slash on
Windows, and simply strip the drive prefix, using an obscure feature of
Windows paths: if an absolute Windows path starts with a slash, it is
implicitly prefixed by the drive prefix of the current directory. As we
are talking about the current directory here, anyway, that strategy
works.

The TerminateProcess() function does not actually leave the child
processes any chance to perform any cleanup operations. This is bad
insofar as Git itself expects its signal handlers to run.

A symptom is e.g. a left-behind .lock file that would not be left behind
if the same operation was run, say, on Linux.

To remedy this situation, we use an obscure trick: we inject a thread
into the process that needs to be killed and to let that thread run the
ExitProcess() function with the desired exit status. Thanks J Wyman for
describing this trick.

The advantage is that the ExitProcess() function lets the atexit
handlers run. While this is still different from what Git expects (i.e.
running a signal handler), in practice Git sets up signal handlers and
atexit handlers that call the same code to clean up after itself.

In case that the gentle method to terminate the process failed, we still
fall back to calling TerminateProcess(), but in that case we now also
make sure that processes spawned by the spawned process are terminated;
TerminateProcess() does not give the spawned process a chance to do so
itself.

Please note that this change only affects how Git for Windows tries to
terminate processes spawned by Git's own executables. Third-party
software that *calls* Git and wants to terminate it *still* need to make
sure to imitate this gentle method, otherwise this patch will not have
any effect.

Rather than using private IFTTT Applets that send mails to this
maintainer whenever a new version of a Git for Windows component was
released, let's use the power of GitHub workflows to make this process
publicly visible.

This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a
new version was released.

Note: Bash sometimes releases multiple patched versions within a few
minutes of each other (i.e. 5.1p1 through 5.1p4, 5.0p15 and 5.0p16). The
MSYS2 runtime also has a similar system. We can address those patches as
a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.

release candidates or non-stable Perl releases. There's no need to open

To verify that the symlink is resolved correctly, we use the fact that
`git.exe` is a native Win32 program, and that `git.exe config -f <path>`
therefore uses the native symlink resolution.

With this patch, Git for Windows works as intended on mounted APFS
volumes (where renaming read-only files would fail).

On Windows, the current working directory is pretty much guaranteed to
contain a colon. If we feed that path to CVS, it mistakes it for a
separator between host and port, though.

This has not been a problem so far because Git for Windows uses MSYS2's
Bash using a POSIX emulation layer that also pretends that the current
directory is a Unix path (at least as long as we're in a shell script).

However, that is rather limiting, as Git for Windows also explores other
ports of other Unix shells. One of those is BusyBox-w32's ash, which is
a native port (i.e. *not* using any POSIX emulation layer, and certainly
not emulating Unix paths).

So let's just detect if there is a colon in $PWD and punt in that case.

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) version 2 allows to use `chmod` on
NTFS volumes provided that they are mounted with metadata enabled (see
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/chmod-chown-wsl-improvements/
for details), for example:

	$ chmod 0755 /mnt/d/test/a.sh

In order to facilitate better collaboration between the Windows
version of Git and the WSL version of Git, we can make the Windows
version of Git also support reading and writing NTFS file modes
in a manner compatible with WSL.

Since this slightly slows down operations where lots of files are
created (such as an initial checkout), this feature is only enabled when
`core.WSLCompat` is set to true. Note that you also have to set
`core.fileMode=true` in repositories that have been initialized without
enabling WSL compatibility.

There are several ways to enable metadata loading for NTFS volumes
in WSL, one of which is to modify `/etc/wsl.conf` by adding:

```
[automount]
enabled = true
options = "metadata,umask=027,fmask=117"
```

And reboot WSL.

It can also be enabled temporarily by this incantation:

	$ sudo umount /mnt/c &&
	  sudo mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o metadata,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=22,fmask=111

It's important to note that this modification is compatible with, but
does not depend on WSL. The helper functions in this commit can operate
independently and functions normally on devices where WSL is not
installed or properly configured.

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.

…ITOR"

In e3f7e01 (Revert "editor: save and reset terminal after calling
EDITOR", 2021-11-22), we reverted the commit wholesale where the
terminal state would be saved and restored before/after calling an
editor.

The reverted commit was intended to fix a problem with Windows Terminal
where simply calling `vi` would cause problems afterwards.

To fix the problem addressed by the revert, but _still_ keep the problem
with Windows Terminal fixed, let's revert the revert, with a twist: we
restrict the save/restore _specifically_ to the case where `vi` (or
`vim`) is called, and do not do the same for any other editor.

This should still catch the majority of the cases, and will bridge the
time until the original patch is re-done in a way that addresses all
concerns.

The `--stdin` option was a well-established paradigm in other commands,
therefore we implemented it in `git reset` for use by Visual Studio.

Unfortunately, upstream Git decided that it is time to introduce
`--pathspec-from-file` instead.

To keep backwards-compatibility for some grace period, we therefore
reinstate the `--stdin` option on top of the `--pathspec-from-file`
option, but mark it firmly as deprecated.

Reintroduce the 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor' config setting (originally added
in 0a756b2 (fsmonitor: config settings are repository-specific,
2021-03-05)) after its removal from the upstream version of FSMonitor.

Upstream, the 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor' setting was rendered obsolete by
"overloading" the 'core.fsmonitor' setting to take a boolean value. However,
several applications (e.g., 'scalar') utilize the original config setting,
so it should be preserved for a deprecation period before complete removal:

* if 'core.fsmonitor' is a boolean, the user is correctly using the new
  config syntax; do not use 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor'.
* if 'core.fsmonitor' is unspecified, use 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor'.
* if 'core.fsmonitor' is a path, override and use the builtin FSMonitor if
  'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor' is 'true'; otherwise, use the FSMonitor hook
  indicated by the path.

Additionally, for this deprecation period, advise users to switch to using
'core.fsmonitor' to specify their use of the builtin FSMonitor.

This topic branch re-adds the deprecated --stdin/-z options to `git
reset`. Those patches were overridden by a different set of options in
the upstream Git project before we could propose `--stdin`.

We offered this in MinGit to applications that wanted a safer way to
pass lots of pathspecs to Git, and these applications will need to be
adjusted.

Instead of `--stdin`, `--pathspec-from-file=-` should be used, and
instead of `-z`, `--pathspec-file-nul`.

Originally introduced as `core.useBuiltinFSMonitor` in Git for Windows
and developed, improved and stabilized there, the built-in FSMonitor
only made it into upstream Git (after unnecessarily long hemming and
hawing and throwing overly perfectionist style review sticks into the
spokes) as `core.fsmonitor = true`.

In Git for Windows, with this topic branch, we re-introduce the
now-obsolete config setting, with warnings suggesting to existing users
how to switch to the new config setting, with the intention to
ultimately drop the patch at some stage.
