If we have `submodule.diff = log' in the configuration file
or `--submodule=log' is given as argument, range-diff fails
to compare both diffs and we only get the following output:
Submodule a 0000000...0000000 (new submodule)
Even if the repository doesn't have any submodule.
That's because the mode in diff_filespec is not correct and when
flushing the diff, down in builtin_diff() we will enter the condition:
if (o->submodule_format == DIFF_SUBMODULE_LOG &&
(!one->mode || S_ISGITLINK(one->mode)) &&
(!two->mode || S_ISGITLINK(two->mode))) {
show_submodule_summary(o, one->path ? one->path : two->path,
&one->oid, &two->oid,
two->dirty_submodule);
return;
It turns out that S_ISGITLINK will return true (mode == 0160000 here).
Similar thing happens if submodule.diff is "diff".
Do like it's done in grep.c when calling fill_filespec() and force it to
be recognized as a file by adding S_IFREG to the mode.

`git repack` can drop unreachable commits without further warning,
making the corresponding entries in `.git/shallow` invalid, which causes
serious problems when deepening the branches.
One scenario where unreachable commits are dropped by `git repack` is
when a `git fetch --prune` (or even a `git fetch` when a ref was
force-pushed in the meantime) can make a commit unreachable that was
reachable before.
Therefore it is not safe to assume that a `git repack -adlf` will keep
unreachable commits alone (under the assumption that they had not been
packed in the first place, which is an assumption at least some of Git's
code seems to make).
This is particularly important to keep in mind when looking at the
`.git/shallow` file: if any commits listed in that file become
unreachable, it is not a problem, but if they go missing, it *is* a
problem. One symptom of this problem is that a deepening fetch may now
fail with
fatal: error in object: unshallow <commit-hash>
To avoid this problem, let's prune the shallow list in `git repack` when
the `-d` option is passed, unless `-A` is passed, too (which would force
the now-unreachable objects to be turned into loose objects instead of
being deleted). Additionally, we also need to take `--keep-reachable`
and `--unpack-unreachable=<date>` into account.
Note: an alternative solution discussed during the review of this patch
was to teach `git fetch` to simply ignore entries in .git/shallow if the
corresponding commits do not exist locally. A quick test, however,
revealed that the .git/shallow file is written during a shallow *clone*,
in which case the commits do not exist, either, but the "shallow" line
*does* need to be sent. Therefore, this approach would be a lot more
finicky than the approach presented by the this patch.

The `prune_shallow()` function wants a full reachability check to be
completed before it goes to work, to ensure that all unreachable entries
are removed from the shallow file.
However, in the upcoming patch we do not even want to go that far. We
really only need to remove entries corresponding to pruned commits, i.e.
to commits that no longer exist.
Let's support that use case.
Rather than extending the signature of `prune_shallow()` to accept
another Boolean, let's turn it into a bit field and declare constants,
for readability.

A `git fetch --prune` can turn previously-reachable objects unreachable,
even commits that are in the `shallow` list. A subsequent `git repack
-ad` will then unceremoniously drop those unreachable commits, and the
`shallow` list will become stale. This means that when we try to fetch
with a larger `--depth` the next time, we may end up with:
fatal: error in object: unshallow <commit-hash>

t5410 creates a sample script "alternate-refs", and sets
core.alternateRefsCommand to just "alternate-refs". That
shouldn't work, as "." is not in our $PATH, and so we should
not find it.
However, due to a bug in run-command.c, we sometimes find it
anyway! Even more confusing, this bug is only in the
fork-based version of run-command. So the test passes on
Linux (etc), but fails on Windows.

Since commit e3a434468f (run-command: use the
async-signal-safe execv instead of execvp, 2017-04-19),
prepare_cmd() does its own PATH lookup for any commands we
run (on non-Windows platforms).
However, its logic does not match the old execvp call when
we fail to find a matching entry in the PATH. Instead of
feeding the name directly to execv, execvp would consider
that an ENOENT error. By continuing and passing the name
directly to execv, we effectively behave as if "." was
included at the end of the PATH. This can have confusing and
even dangerous results.
The fix itself is pretty straight-forward. There's a new
test in t0061 to cover this explicitly, and I've also added
a duplicate of the ENOENT test to ensure that we return the
correct errno for this case.

`GetLongPathName()` function may fail when it is unable to query
the parent directory of a path component to determine the long name
for that component. It happens, because it uses `FindFirstFile()`
function for each next short part of path. The `FindFirstFile()`
requires `List Directory` and `Synchronize` desired access for a calling
process.
In case of lacking such permission for some part of path,
the `GetLongPathName()` returns 0 as result and `GetLastError()`
returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
`GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function can help in such cases, because
it requires `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize` desired access to the
target path only.
The `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function was introduced on
`Windows Server 2008/Windows Vista`. So we need to load it dynamically.
`CreateFile()` parameters:
`lpFileName` = path to the current directory
`dwDesiredAccess` = 0 (it means `Read Attributes` and `Synchronize`)
`dwShareMode` = FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_DELETE
(it prevents `Sharing Violation`)
`lpSecurityAttributes` = NULL (default security attributes)
`dwCreationDisposition` = OPEN_EXISTING
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`dwFlagsAndAttributes` = FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS
(required to obtain a directory handle)
`hTemplateFile` = NULL (when opening an existing file or directory,
`CreateFile` ignores this parameter)
The string that is returned by `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function
uses the \\?\ syntax. To skip the prefix and convert backslashes
to slashes, the `normalize_ntpath()` mingw function will be used.
Note: `GetFinalPathNameByHandle()` function returns a final path.
It is the path that is returned when a path is fully resolved.
For example, for a symbolic link named "C:\tmp\mydir" that points to
"D:\yourdir", the final path would be "D:\yourdir".

When switching the current working directory, say, in PowerShell, it is
quite possible to use a different capitalization than the one that is
recorded on disk. While doing the same in `cmd.exe` adjusts the
capitalization magically, that does not happen in PowerShell so that
`getcwd()` returns the current directory in a different way than is
recorded on disk.
Typically this creates no problems except when you call
git log .
in a subdirectory called, say, "GIT/" but you switched to "Git/" and
your `getcwd()` reports the latter, then Git won't understand that you
wanted to see the history as per the `GIT/` subdirectory but it thinks you
wanted to see the history of some directory that may have existed in the
past (but actually never did).
So let's be extra careful to adjust the capitalization of the current
directory before working with it.

A new repo extension is added, worktreeConfig. When it is present:
- Repository config reading by default includes $GIT_DIR/config _and_
$GIT_DIR/config.worktree. "config" file remains shared in multiple
worktree setup.
- The special treatment for core.bare and core.worktree, to stay
effective only in main worktree, is gone. These config settings are
supposed to be in config.worktree.
This extension is most useful in multiple worktree setup because you
now have an option to store per-worktree config (which is either
.git/config.worktree for main worktree, or
.git/worktrees/xx/config.worktree for linked ones).
This extension can be used in single worktree mode, even though it's
pretty much useless (but this can happen after you remove all linked
worktrees and move back to single worktree).
"git config" reads from both "config" and "config.worktree" by default
(i.e. without either --user, --file...) when this extension is
present. Default writes still go to "config", not "config.worktree". A
new option --worktree is added for that (*).
Since a new repo extension is introduced, existing git binaries should
refuse to access to the repo (both from main and linked worktrees). So
they will not misread the config file (i.e. skip the config.worktree
part). They may still accidentally write to the config file anyway if
they use with "git config --file <path>".
This design places a bet on the assumption that the majority of config
variables are shared so it is the default mode. A safer move would be
default writes go to per-worktree file, so that accidental changes are
isolated.
(*) "git config --worktree" points back to "config" file when this
extension is not present and there is only one worktree so that it
