a0b3108618 macOS/brew: let the build find gettext headers/libraries/msgfmt
Apparently a recent Homebrew update now installs `gettext` into the
subdirectory /usr/local/opt/gettext/[lib/include].

Sometimes the ci job succeeds:
 brew link --force gettext
 Linking /usr/local/Cellar/gettext/0.20.1... 179 symlinks created

And sometimes installing the package "gettext" with force-link fails:
 brew link --force gettext
 Warning: Refusing to link macOS provided/shadowed software: gettext
 If you need to have gettext first in your PATH run:
  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile

(And the is not the final word either, since macOS itself says:
 The default interactive shell is now zsh.)

Anyway, The latter requires CFLAGS to include /usr/local/opt/gettext/include
and LDFLAGS to include /usr/local/opt/gettext/lib.

Likewise, the `msgfmt` tool is no longer in the `PATH`.

While it is unclear which change is responsible for this breakage (that
most notably only occurs on CI build agents that updated very recently),
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/53489 has fixed it.

Nevertheless, let's work around this issue, as there are still quite a
few build agents out there that need some help in this regard: we
explicitly do not call `brew update` in our CI/PR builds anymore.

709df95b78 help: move list_config_help to builtin/help
Starting in 3ac68a93fd, help.o began to depend on builtin/branch.o,
builtin/clean.o, and builtin/config.o. This meant that help.o was
unusable outside of the context of the main Git executable.

To make help.o usable by other commands again, move list_config_help()
into builtin/help.c (where it makes sense to assume other builtin libraries
are present).

When command-list.h is included but a member is not used, we start to
hear a compiler warning. Since the config list is generated in a fairly
different way than the command list, and since commands and config
options are semantically different, move the config list into its own
header and move the generator into its own script and build rule.

For reasons explained in 976aaedc (msvc: add a Makefile target to
pre-generate the Visual Studio solution, 2019-07-29), some build
artifacts we consider non-source files cannot be generated in the
Visual Studio environment, and we already have some Makefile tweaks
to help Visual Studio to use generated command-list.h header file.
Do the same to a new generated file, config-list.h, introduced by
this change.

9102f958ee protect_ntfs: turn on NTFS protection by default
Back in the DOS days, in the FAT file system, file names always
consisted of a base name of length 8 plus a file extension of length 3.
Shorter file names were simply padded with spaces to the full 8.3
format.

Later, the FAT file system was taught to support _also_ longer names,
with an 8.3 "short name" as primary file name. While at it, the same
facility allowed formerly illegal file names, such as `.git` (empty base
names were not allowed), which would have the "short name" `git~1`
associated with it.

For backwards-compatibility, NTFS supports alternative 8.3 short
filenames, too, even if starting with Windows Vista, they are only
generated on the system drive by default.

We addressed the problem that the `.git/` directory can _also_ be
accessed via `git~1/` (when short names are enabled) in 2b4c6efc82
(read-cache: optionally disallow NTFS .git variants, 2014-12-16), i.e.
since Git v1.9.5, by introducing the config setting `core.protectNTFS`
and enabling it by default on Windows.

In the meantime, Windows 10 introduced the "Windows Subsystem for Linux"
(short: WSL), i.e. a way to run Linux applications/distributions in a
thinly-isolated subsystem on Windows (giving rise to many a "2016 is the
Year of Linux on the Desktop" jokes). WSL is getting increasingly
popular, also due to the painless way Linux application can operate
directly ("natively") on files on Windows' file system: the Windows
drives are mounted automatically (e.g. `C:` as `/mnt/c/`).

Taken together, this means that we now have to enable the safe-guards of
Git v1.9.5 also in WSL: it is possible to access a `.git` directory
inside `/mnt/c/` via the 8.3 name `git~1` (unless short name generation
was disabled manually). Since regular Linux distributions run in WSL,
this means we have to enable `core.protectNTFS` at least on Linux, too.

To enable Services for Macintosh in Windows NT to store so-called
resource forks, NTFS introduced "Alternate Data Streams". Essentially,
these constitute additional metadata that are connected to (and copied
with) their associated files, and they are accessed via pseudo file
names of the form `filename:<stream-name>:<stream-type>`.

In a recent patch, we extended `core.protectNTFS` to also protect
against accesses via NTFS Alternate Data Streams, e.g. to prevent
contents of the `.git/` directory to be "tracked" via yet another
alternative file name.

While it is not possible (at least by default) to access files via NTFS
Alternate Data Streams from within WSL, the defaults on macOS when
mounting network shares via SMB _do_ allow accessing files and
directories in that way. Therefore, we need to enable `core.protectNTFS`
on macOS by default, too, and really, on any Operating System that can
mount network shares via SMB/CIFS.

A couple of approaches were considered for fixing this:

1. We could perform a dynamic NTFS check similar to the `core.symlinks`
   check in `init`/`clone`: instead of trying to create a symbolic link
   in the `.git/` directory, we could create a test file and try to
   access `.git/config` via 8.3 name and/or Alternate Data Stream.

2. We could simply "flip the switch" on `core.protectNTFS`, to make it
   "on by default".

The obvious downside of 1. is that it won't protect worktrees that were
clone with a vulnerable Git version already. We considered patching code
paths that check out files to check whether we're running on an NTFS
system dynamically and persist the result in the repository-local config
setting `core.protectNTFS`, but in the end decided that this solution
would be too fragile, and too involved.

The obvious downside of 2. is that everybody will have to "suffer" the
performance penalty incurred from calling `is_ntfs_dotgit()` on every
path, even in setups where.

After the recent work to accelerate `is_ntfs_dotgit()` in most cases,
it looks as if the time spent on validating ten million random
file names increases only negligibly (less than 20ms, well within the
standard deviation of ~50ms). Therefore the benefits outweigh the cost.

Another downside of this is that paths that might have been acceptable
previously now will be forbidden. Realistically, though, this is an
improvement because public Git hosters already would reject any `git
push` that contains such file names.

Note: There might be a similar problem mounting HFS+ on Linux. However,
this scenario has been considered unlikely and in light of the cost (in
the aforementioned benchmark, `core.protectHFS = true` increased the
time from ~440ms to ~610ms), it was decided _not_ to touch the default
of `core.protectHFS`.

This change addresses CVE-2019-1353.

In b18ae14a8f (vcxproj: also link-or-copy builtins, 2019-07-29), we
started to copy or hard-link the built-ins as a post-build step of the
`git` project.

At the same time, we tried to copy or hard-link `git-remote-http.exe`,
but it is quite possible that it was not built at that time.

Let's move that latter task into a post-install step of the
`git-remote-http` project instead.

b18ae14a8f vcxproj: also link-or-copy builtins
The default location for `.exe` files linked by Visual Studio depends on
the mode (debug vs release) and the architecture. Meaning: after a full
build, there is a `git.exe` in the top-level directory, but none of the
built-ins are linked..

When running a test script in Git Bash, it therefore would pick up the
wrong, say, `git-receive-pack.exe`: the one installed at the same time
as the Git Bash.

Absolutely not what we want. We want to have confidence that our test
covers the MSVC-built Git executables, and not some random stuff.

976aaedca0 msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution
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.

a1c5e906c8 mingw: enable stack smashing protector
To reduce Git for Windows' attack surface, we started using the Address
Space Layout Randomization and Data Execution Prevention features in
ce6a158561 (mingw: enable DEP and ASLR, 2019-05-08).

To remove yet another attack vector, let's make use of gcc's stack
smashing protector that helps detect stack buffer overruns early.

Rather than using -fstack-protector, we use -fstack-protector-strong
because on Windows: The latter appears to strike a better balance
between the performance impact and the provided safety.

In a non-scientific test (time git log --grep=is -p), best of 5 timings
went from 23.009s to 22.997s, i.e. the performance impact was *well*
lost in the noise.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/501

dce7d29551 msvc: support building Git using MS Visual C++
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.

396ff7547d mingw: replace mingw_startup() hack
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()`.

6a1ce2ed3a mingw: fix a typo in the msysGit-specific section
The msysGit project (i.e. Git for Windows 1.x' SDK) is safely dead for
*years* already. This is probably the reason why nobody caught this typo
until Carlo Arenas spotted a copy-edited version of it nearby.

It is probably about time to rip out the remainders of msysGit/MSys1
support, but that can safely wait a bit longer, and we can at least fix
the typo for now.

ce6a158561 mingw: enable DEP and ASLR
Enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and ASLR (Address Space Layout
Randomization) support. This applies to both 32bit and 64bit builds
and makes it substantially harder to exploit security holes in Git by
offering a much more unpredictable attack surface.

ASLR interferes with GDB's ability to set breakpoints. A similar issue
holds true when compiling with -O2 (in which case single-stepping is
messed up because GDB cannot map the code back to the original source
code properly). Therefore we simply enable ASLR only when an
optimization flag is present in the CFLAGS, using it as an indicator
that the developer does not want to debug in GDB anyway.

This is the first step for enabling ASLR (Address Space Layout

against exploiting security holes in Git: it makes it harder to attack
software by making code addresses unpredictable.

The problem fixed by this commit is that `ld.exe` seems to be stripping
relocations which in turn will break ASLR support. We just make sure
it's not stripping the main executable entry.

400caafb2b git-compat-util: work around for access(X_OK) under root
On AIX, access(X_OK) may succeed when run as root even if the
execution isn't possible. This behavior is allowed by POSIX
which says:

  ... for a process with appropriate privileges, an implementation
  may indicate success for X_OK even if execute permission is not
  granted to any user.

It can lead hook programs to have their execution refused:

   git commit -m content
   fatal: cannot exec '.git/hooks/pre-commit': Permission denied

Add NEED_ACCESS_ROOT_HANDLER in order to use an access helper function.
It checks with stat if any executable flags is set when the current user
is root.

aeb582a983 mingw: allow building with an MSYS2 runtime v3.x
Recently the Git for Windows project started the upgrade process to
a MSYS2 runtime version based on Cygwin v3.x.

This has the very notable consequence that `$(uname -r)` no longer
reports a version starting with "2", but a version with "3".

That breaks our build, as df5218b4c3 (config.mak.uname: support MSys2,
2016-01-13) simply did not expect the version reported by `uname -r` to
depend on the underlying Cygwin version: it expected the reported
version to match the "2" in "MSYS2".

So let's invert that test case to test for *anything else* than a
version starting with "1" (for MSys). That should safeguard us for the
future, even if Cygwin ends up releasing versionsl like 314.272.65536.

bb02e7a560 mingw: use a more canonical method to fix the CPU reporting
In `git version --build-options`, we report also the CPU, but in Git for
Windows we actually cross-compile the 32-bit version in a 64-bit Git for
Windows, so we cannot rely on the auto-detected value.

In 3815f64b0d (mingw: fix CPU reporting in `git version
--build-options`, 2019-02-07), we fixed this by a Windows-only
workaround, making use of magic pre-processor constants, which works in
GCC, but most likely not all C compilers.

As pointed out by Eric Sunshine, there is a better way, anyway: to set
the Makefile variable HOST_CPU explicitly for cross-compiled Git. So
let's do that!

1cadad6f65 git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo' is working (again)
A regression for cygwin users was introduced with commit 05b458c,
 "real_path: resolve symlinks by hand".

In the the commit message we read:
  The current implementation of real_path uses chdir() in order to resolve
    symlinks.  Unfortunately this isn't thread-safe as chdir() affects a
      process as a whole...

The old (and non-thread-save) OS calls chdir()/pwd() had been
replaced by a string operation.
The cygwin layer "knows" that "C:\cygwin" is an absolute path,
but the new string operation does not.

"git clone <url> C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo" fails like this:
fatal: Invalid path '/home/USER/repo/C:\cygwin\home\USER\repo'

The solution is to implement has_dos_drive_prefix(), skip_dos_drive_prefix()
is_dir_sep(), offset_1st_component() and convert_slashes() for cygwin
in the same way as it is done in 'Git for Windows' in compat/mingw.[ch]

Extract the needed code into compat/win32/path-utils.[ch] and use it
for cygwin as well.

for systems building solely with make, the defines NEEDS_IDN_WITH_CURL

2939a1f703 mingw: bump the minimum Windows version to Vista
Quite some time ago, a last plea to the XP users out there who want to
see Windows XP support in Git for Windows, asking them to get engaged
and help, vanished into the depths of the universe.

We tried for a long time to play nice with the last remaining XP users
who somehow manage to build Git from source, but a recent update of
mingw-w64 (7.0.0.5233.e0c09544 -> 7.0.0.5245.edf66197) finally dropped
the last sign of XP support, and Git for Windows' SDK is no longer able
to build core Git's `master` branch as a consequence. (Git for Windows'
`master` branch already bumped the minimum Windows version to Vista a
while ago, so it is fine.)

It is time to require Windows Vista or later to build Git from source.
This, incidentally, lets us use quite a few nice new APIs.

It also means that we no longer need the inet_pton() and inet_ntop()
emulation, which is nice.

9806f5a7bf gc --auto: exclude base pack if not enough mem to "repack -ad"
pack-objects could be a big memory hog especially on large repos,
everybody knows that. The suggestion to stick a .keep file on the
giant base pack to avoid this problem is also known for a long time.

Recent patches add an option to do just this, but it has to be either
configured or activated manually. This patch lets `git gc --auto`
activate this mode automatically when it thinks `repack -ad` will use
a lot of memory and start affecting the system due to swapping or
flushing OS cache.

gc --auto decides to do this based on an estimation of pack-objects
memory usage, which is quite accurate at least for the heap part, and
whether that fits in half of system memory (the assumption here is for
desktop environment where there are many other applications running).

This mechanism only kicks in if gc.bigBasePackThreshold is not configured.
If it is, it is assumed that the user already knows what they want.

executable's file name.

226c0ddd0d exec_cmd: RUNTIME_PREFIX on some POSIX systems
Enable Git to resolve its own binary location using a variety of
OS-specific and generic methods, including:

- procfs via "/proc/self/exe" (Linux)
- _NSGetExecutablePath (Darwin)
- KERN_PROC_PATHNAME sysctl on BSDs.
- argv0, if absolute (all, including Windows).

This is used to enable RUNTIME_PREFIX support for non-Windows systems,
notably Linux and Darwin. When configured with RUNTIME_PREFIX, Git will
do a best-effort resolution of its executable path and automatically use
this as its "exec_path" for relative helper and data lookups, unless
explicitly overridden.

Small incidental formatting cleanup of "exec_cmd.c".

6bc8606be3 config.mak.uname: remove SPARSE_FLAGS setting for cygwin
Since commit f66450ae9 ("cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation",
2013-06-22), the cygwin build has not used the WIN32 API/header files.
This means that the '-isystem /usr/include/w32api' option to sparse is
no longer necessary (to allow sparse to find the WIN32 header files).
In addition, the '-Wno-one-bit-signed-bitfield' option can be removed,
since the warning suppressed by that option was only provoked by a WIN32
header file.

5b633610ec packed_ref_cache: keep the packed-refs file mmapped if possible
Keep a copy of the `packed-refs` file contents in memory for as long
as a `packed_ref_cache` object is in use:

* If the system allows it, keep the `packed-refs` file mmapped.

* If not (either because the system doesn't support `mmap()` at all,
  or because a file that is currently mmapped cannot be replaced via
  `rename()`), then make a copy of the file's contents in
  heap-allocated space, and keep that around instead.

We base the choice of behavior on a new build-time switch,
`MMAP_PREVENTS_DELETE`. By default, this switch is set for Windows
variants.

After this commit, `MMAP_NONE` and `MMAP_TEMPORARY` are still handled
identically. But the next commit will introduce a difference.

This whole change is still pointless, because we only read the
`packed-refs` file contents immediately after instantiating the
`packed_ref_cache`. But that will soon change.

33400c0e96 Merge branch 'tb/push-to-cygwin-unc-path'
On Cygwin, similar to Windows, "git push //server/share/repository"
ought to mean a repository on a network share that can be accessed
locally, but this did not work correctly due to stripping the double
slashes at the beginning.

This may need to be heavily tested before it gets unleashed to the
wild, as the change is at a fairly low-level code and would affect
not just the code to decide if the push destination is local.  There
may be unexpected fallouts in the path normalization.

496f256989 cygwin: allow pushing to UNC paths
cygwin can use an UNC path like //server/share/repo

 $ cd //server/share/dir
 $ mkdir test
 $ cd test
 $ git init --bare

 However, when we try to push from a local Git repository to this repo,
 there is a problem: Git converts the leading "//" into a single "/".

 As cygwin handles an UNC path so well, Git can support them better:

 - Introduce cygwin_offset_1st_component() which keeps the leading "//",
   similar to what Git for Windows does.

 - Move CYGWIN out of the POSIX in the tests for path normalization in t0060

fb95e2e38d grep: un-break building with PCRE >= 8.32 without --enable-jit
Amend my change earlier in this series ("grep: add support for the
PCRE v1 JIT API", 2017-04-11) to un-break the build on PCRE v1
versions later than 8.31 compiled without --enable-jit.

As explained in that change and a later compatibility change in this
series ("grep: un-break building with PCRE < 8.32", 2017-05-10) the
pcre_jit_exec() function is a faster path to execute the JIT.

Unfortunately there's no compatibility stub for that function compiled
into the library if pcre_config(PCRE_CONFIG_JIT, &ret) would return 0,
and no macro that can be used to check for it, so the only portable
option to support builds without --enable-jit is via a new
NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes Makefile option[1].

Another option would be to make the JIT opt-in via
USE_LIBPCRE1_JIT=YesPlease, after all it's not a default option of
PCRE v1.

I think it makes more sense to make it opt-out since even though it's
not a default option, most packagers of PCRE seem to turn it on by
default, with the notable exception of the MinGW package.

Make the MinGW platform work by default by changing the build defaults
to turn on NO_LIBPCRE1_JIT=UnfortunatelyYes. It is the only platform
that turns on USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease by default, see commit
df5218b4c3 ("config.mak.uname: support MSys2", 2016-01-13) for that
change.

I'm pretty sure it shares the same problem.

2cfc70f0de mingw: use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines
Use OpenSSL's SHA-1 routines rather than builtin block-sha1 routines.
This improves performance on SHA1 operations on Intel processors.

OpenSSL 1.0.2 has made considerable performance improvements and
support the Intel hardware acceleration features.  See:
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/improving-openssl-performance
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-sha-extensions

To test this I added/staged a single file in a gigantic
repository having a 450MB index file.  The code in read-cache.c
verifies the header SHA as it reads the index and computes a new
header SHA as it writes out the new index.  Therefore, in this test
the SHA code must process 900MB of data.  Testing was done on an
Intel I7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (Intel64, Family 6, Model 60) CPU.

The block-sha1 version averaged 5.27 seconds.
The OpenSSL    version averaged 4.50 seconds.

1f7c926132 xdiff: drop XDL_FAST_HASH
The xdiff code hashes every line of both sides of a diff,
and then compares those hashes to find duplicates. The
overall performance depends both on how fast we can compute
the hashes, but also on how many hash collisions we see.

The idea of XDL_FAST_HASH is to speed up the hash
computation. But the generated hashes have worse collision
behavior. This means that in some cases it speeds diffs up
(running "git log -p" on git.git improves by ~8% with it),
but in others it can slow things down. One pathological case
saw over a 100x slowdown[1].

There may be a better hash function that covers both
properties, but in the meantime we are better off with the
original hash. It's slightly slower in the common case, but
it has fewer surprising pathological cases.

for such file descriptors. Therefore, some interactive functionality
(such as launching a pager, asking if a failed unlink should be repeated
etc.) doesn't work when run in a terminal emulator that uses MSYS2's
ptys (such as mintty).

However, MSYS2 uses special names for its pty pipes ('msys-*-pty*'),
which allows us to distinguish them from normal piped input / output.

On startup, check if stdin / stdout / stderr are connected to such pipes
using the NtQueryObject API from NTDll.dll. If the names match, adjust

f9206ce268 mingw: let's use gettext with MSYS2
This solves two problems:

- we now have proper localisation even on Windows

- we sidestep the infamous "BUG: your vsnprintf is broken (returned -1)"
  message when running "git init" (which otherwise prevents the entire
  test suite from running) because libintl.h overrides vsnprintf() with
  libintl_vsnprintf() [*1*]

The latter issue is rather crucial, as *no* test passes in Git for
Windows without this fix.

7b40ae86a3 config.mak.uname: supporting 64-bit MSys2
This just makes things compile, the test suite needs extra tender loving
care in addition to this change. We will address these issues in later
commits.

While at it, also allow building MSys2 Git (i.e. a Git that uses MSys2's
POSIX emulation layer).

df5218b4c3 config.mak.uname: support MSys2
For a long time, Git for Windows lagged behind Git's 2.x releases because
the Git for Windows developers wanted to let that big jump coincide with
a well-needed jump away from MSys to MSys2.

To understand why this is such a big issue, it needs to be noted that
many parts of Git are not written in portable C, but instead Git relies
on a POSIX shell and Perl to be available.

To support the scripts, Git for Windows has to ship a minimal POSIX
emulation layer with Bash and Perl thrown in, and when the Git for
Windows effort started in August 2007, this developer settled on using
MSys, a stripped down version of Cygwin. Consequently, the original name
of the project was "msysGit" (which, sadly, caused a *lot* of confusion
because few Windows users know about MSys, and even less care).

To compile the C code of Git for Windows, MSys was used, too: it sports
two versions of the GNU C Compiler: one that links implicitly to the
POSIX emulation layer, and another one that targets the plain Win32 API
(with a few convenience functions thrown in).  Git for Windows'
executables are built using the latter, and therefore they are really
just Win32 programs. To discern executables requiring the POSIX
emulation layer from the ones that do not, the latter are called MinGW
(Minimal GNU for Windows) when the former are called MSys executables.

This reliance on MSys incurred challenges, too, though: some of our
changes to the MSys runtime -- necessary to support Git for Windows
better -- were not accepted upstream, so we had to maintain our own
fork. Also, the MSys runtime was not developed further to support e.g.
UTF-8 or 64-bit, and apart from lacking a package management system
until much later (when mingw-get was introduced), many packages provided
by the MSys/MinGW project lag behind the respective source code
versions, in particular Bash and OpenSSL. For a while, the Git for
Windows project tried to remedy the situation by trying to build newer
versions of those packages, but the situation quickly became untenable,
especially with problems like the Heartbleed bug requiring swift action
that has nothing to do with developing Git for Windows further.

Happily, in the meantime the MSys2 project (https://msys2.github.io/)
emerged, and was chosen to be the base of the Git for Windows 2.x. Just
like MSys, MSys2 is a stripped down version of Cygwin, but it is
actively kept up-to-date with Cygwin's source code.  Thereby, it already
supports Unicode internally, and it also offers the 64-bit support that
we yearned for since the beginning of the Git for Windows project.

MSys2 also ported the Pacman package management system from Arch Linux
and uses it heavily. This brings the same convenience to which Linux
users are used to from `yum` or `apt-get`, and to which MacOSX users are
used to from Homebrew or MacPorts, or BSD users from the Ports system,
to MSys2: a simple `pacman -Syu` will update all installed packages to
the newest versions currently available.

MSys2 is also *very* active, typically providing package updates
multiple times per week.

It still required a two-month effort to bring everything to a state
where Git's test suite passes, many more months until the first official
Git for Windows 2.x was released, and a couple of patches still await
their submission to the respective upstream projects. Yet without MSys2,
the modernization of Git for Windows would simply not have happened.

This commit lays the ground work to supporting MSys2-based Git builds.

e53a64b982 config.mak.uname: Cygwin needs OBJECT_CREATION_USES_RENAMES
This is necessary to use Git on Windows shared directories, and is
already enabled for the MinGW and plain Windows builds.

This problem was reported on the Cygwin mailing list at
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-08/msg00102.html (amongst others)
and is being applied as a manual patch to the Cygwin builds until
the patch is taken here.
