The rename detection logic sorts a list of rename source candidates
by similarity to pick the best candidate, which means that a tie
between sources with the same similarity is broken by the original
location in the original candidate list (which is sorted by path).
Force the sorting by similarity done with a stable sort, which is
not promised by system supplied qsort(3), to ensure consistent
results across platforms.
* js/diff-rename-force-stable-sort:

Move git_sort(), a stable sort, into into libgit.a
The return value of that function is 0 both for variables that are
unset, as well as for variables whose values are empty. To discern those
two cases, one has to call `GetLastError()`, whose return value is
`ERROR_ENVVAR_NOT_FOUND` and `ERROR_SUCCESS`, respectively.
Except that it is not actually set to `ERROR_SUCCESS` in the latter
case, apparently, but the last error value seems to be simply unchanged.
To work around this, let's just re-set the last error value just before
inspecting the environment variable.
This fixes a problem that triggers failures in t3301-notes.sh (where we
try to override config settings by passing empty values for certain
environment variables).
This problem is hidden in the MINGW build by the fact that older
MSVC runtimes (such as the one used by MINGW builds) have a `calloc()`
that re-sets the last error value in case of success, while newer
runtimes set the error value only if `NULL` is returned by that
function.

We frequently build Git using the `DEVELOPER=1` make setting as a
shortcut to enable all kinds of more stringent compiler warnings.
Those compiler warnings are relatively specific to GCC, though, so let's

Visual C++'s `cl.exe`.

To build with MSVC, we "translate" GCC options to MSVC options, and part
of those options refer to the libraries to link into the final
executable. Currently, this part looks somewhat like this on Windows:
-lcurl -lnghttp2 -lidn2 -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32
-lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lz -lws2_32 -lexpat
Some of those are direct dependencies (such as curl and ssl) and others
are indirect (nghttp2 and idn2, for example, are dependencies of curl,
but need to be linked in for reasons).
We already handle the direct dependencies, e.g. `-liconv` is already
handled as adding `libiconv.lib` to the list of libraries to link
against.
Let's just ignore the remaining `-l*` options so that MSVC does not have
to warn us that it ignored e.g. the `/lnghttp2` option. We do that by
extending the clause that already "eats" the `-R*` options to also eat
the `-l*` options.

The `qsort()` function is not guaranteed to be stable, i.e. it does not
promise to maintain the order of items it is told to consider equal. In
contrast, the `git_sort()` function we carry in `compat/qsort.c` _is_
stable, by virtue of implementing a merge sort algorithm.
In preparation for using a stable sort in Git's rename detection, move
the stable sort into `libgit.a` so that it is compiled in
unconditionally, and rename it to `git_stable_qsort()`.
Note: this also makes the hack obsolete that was introduced in
fe21c6b285 (mingw: reencode environment variables on the fly (UTF-16
<-> UTF-8), 2018-10-30), where we included `compat/qsort.c` directly in

In 554544276a (*.[ch]: remove extern from function declarations using
spatch, 2019-04-29), we removed externs from function declarations using
spatch but we intentionally excluded files under compat/ since some are
directly copied from an upstream and we should avoid churning them so
that manually merging future updates will be simpler.
In the last commit, we determined the files which taken from an upstream
so we can exclude them and run spatch on the remainder.
This was the Coccinelle patch used:

This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow
missed in 85faec9d3a (Win32: Unicode file name support (except dirent),
2012-03-15).
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
`lookup_prog()` was changed to use `_waccess()` directly so that we only
convert the path to UTF-16 once.
To make things work correctly, we have to maintain UTF-8 and UTF-16
versions in tandem in `lookup_prog()`.

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.
If we pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, Git can be built entirely
within Visual Studio, and the test scripts can be run in a regular Git
for Windows (e.g. the Portable Git flavor, which does not include a full
GCC toolchain and therefore weighs only about a tenth of 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 after building the solution in Visual Studio.
Note: for this build target, we do not actually need to initialize the
`vcpkg` system, so we don't.

On some older Windows versions (e.g. Windows 7), the CreateProcessW()
function does not really support spaces in its first argument,
lpApplicationName. But it supports passing NULL as lpApplicationName,
which makes it figure out the application from the (possibly quoted)
first argument of lpCommandLine.
Let's use that trick (if we are certain that the first argument matches
the executable's path) to support launching programs whose path contains
spaces.
We will abuse the test-fake-ssh.exe helper to verify that this works and
does not regress.

Many Win32 API functions actually exist in two variants: one with
the `A` suffix that takes ANSI parameters (`char *` or `const char *`)
and one with the `W` suffix that takes Unicode parameters (`wchar_t *`
or `const wchar_t *`).
The ANSI variant assumes that the strings are encoded according to
whatever is the current locale. This is not what Git wants to use on
Windows: we assume that `char *` variables point to strings encoded in
UTF-8.
There is a pseudo UTF-8 locale on Windows, but it does not work
as one might expect. In addition, if we overrode the user's locale, that
would modify the behavior of programs spawned by Git (such as editors,
difftools, etc), therefore we cannot use that pseudo locale.
Further, it is actually highly encouraged to use the Unicode versions
instead of the ANSI versions, so let's do precisely that.
Note: when calling the Win32 API functions _without_ any suffix, it
depends whether the `UNICODE` constant is defined before the relevant
headers are #include'd. Without that constant, the ANSI variants are
used. Let's be explicit and avoid that ambiguity.

On Windows >= Vista, not having an application manifest with a
requestedExecutionLevel can cause several kinds of confusing behavior.
The first and more obvious behavior is "Installer Detection" of the
"User Account Control" (also known as "UAC") feature, where Windows
sometimes decides (by looking at things like the file name and even
sequences of bytes within the executable) that an executable is an
installer and should run elevated (causing the well-known popup dialog
to appear). In Git's context, subcommands such as "git patch-id" or "git
update-index" fall prey to this behavior.
The second and more confusing behavior is "File Virtualization". It
means that when files are written without having write permission, it
does not fail (as expected), but they are instead redirected to
somewhere else. When the files are read, the original contents are
returned, though, not the ones that were just written somewhere else.
Even more confusing, not all write accesses are redirected; Trying to
write to write-protected .exe files, for example, will fail instead of
redirecting.
In addition to being unwanted behavior, File Virtualization causes
dramatic slowdowns in Git (see for instance
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=320).
A third unwanted behavior of Windows >= Vista is that it lies about the
Windows version when calling `GetWindowsVersionEx()`.
There are two ways to prevent these unwanted behaviors: Either you embed
an application manifest (which really is an XML document conforming to a
specific schema) within all your executables, or you add an external
manifest (a file with the same name followed by `.manifest`) to all your
executables. Since Git's builtins are hardlinked (or copied), it is
simpler and more robust to embed a manifest.
Recent enough MSVC compilers already embed a working internal manifest,
and building with mingw-w64 (which is the case in Git for Windows' SDK)
does it, too, but for MinGW you have to do so by hand.
In any case, it is better to be explicit about this manifest, that way
changes in the compiler toolchain won't surprise us (as mingw-w64 once
did when it broke `GetWindowsVersionEx()` by mistake).

For regular debugging, it is pretty helpful when a debug assertion in a

However, when running the test suite, it is not so helpful, in
particular when the debug assertions are then suppressed anyway because

With this patch, Git can be built using the Microsoft toolchain, via:
make MSVC=1 [DEBUG=1]
Third party libraries are built from source using the open source
"vcpkg" tool set. See https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
On a first build, the vcpkg tools and the third party libraries are
automatically downloaded and built. DLLs for the third party libraries
are copied to the top-level (and t/helper) directory to facilitate
debugging. See compat/vcbuild/README.
A series of .bat files are invoked by the Makefile to find the location
of the installed version of Visual Studio and the associated compiler
tools (essentially replicating the environment setup performed by a
"Developer Command Prompt"). This should find the most recent VS2015 or
VS2017 installation. Output from these scripts are used by the Makefile
to define compiler and linker pathnames and -I and -L arguments.
The build produces .pdb files for both debug and release builds.
Note: This commit was squashed from an organic series of commits
developed between 2016 and 2018 in Git for Windows' `master` branch.
This combined commit eliminates the obsolete commits related to fetching
NuGet packages for third party libraries. It is difficult to use NuGet
packages for C/C++ sources because they may be built by earlier versions
of the MSVC compiler and have CRT version and linking issues.
Additionally, the C/C++ NuGet packages that we were using tended to not
be updated concurrently with the sources. And in the case of cURL and
OpenSSL, this could expose us to security issues.

This constant is not defined in MSVC's headers.
In UCRT's fcntl.h, _O_RDONLY, _O_WRONLY and _O_RDWR are defined as 0, 1
and 2, respectively. Yes, that means that UCRT breaks with the tradition
that O_RDWR == O_RDONLY | O_WRONLY.
It is a perfectly legal way to define those constants, though, therefore
we need to take care of defining O_ACCMODE accordingly.
This is particularly important in order to keep our "open() can set
errno to EISDIR" emulation working: it tests that (flags & O_ACCMODE) is
not identical to O_RDONLY before going on to test specifically whether
the file for which open() reported EACCES is, in fact, a directory.

Git for Windows has special code to retrieve the command-line parameters
(and even the environment) in UTF-16 encoding, so that they can be
converted to UTF-8. This is necessary because Git for Windows wants to
use UTF-8 encoded strings throughout its code, and the main() function
does not get the parameters in that encoding.
To do that, we used the __wgetmainargs() function, which is not even a
Win32 API function, but provided by the MINGW "runtime" instead.
Obviously, this method would not work with any compiler other than GCC,
and in preparation for compiling with Visual C++, we would like to avoid
precisely that.
Lucky us, there is a much more elegant way: we can simply implement the
UTF-16 variant of `main()`: `wmain()`.
To make that work, we need to link with -municode. The command-line
parameters are passed to `wmain()` encoded in UTF-16, as desired, and
this method also works with GCC, and also with Visual C++ after
adjusting the MSVC linker flags to force it to use `wmain()`.
