Just like the `hash-object --literally` code path, the `--stdin` code path also needs to use `size_t` instead of `unsigned long` to represent memory sizes, otherwise it would cause problems on platforms using the LLP64 data model (such as Windows). To limit the scope of the test case, the object is explicitly not written to the object store, nor are any filters applied. The `big` file from the previous test case is reused to save setup time; To avoid relying on that side effect, it is generated if it does not exist (e.g. when running via `sh t1007-*.sh --long --run=1,41`).

In bf2d5d8 (Don't let ld strip relocations, 2016-01-16) (picked from git-for-windows@6a237925bf10), Git for Windows introduced the `-Wl,-pic-executable` flag, specifying the exact entry point via `-e`. This required discerning between i686 and x86_64 code because the former required the symbol to be prefixed with an underscore, the latter did not. As per https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10865, the specified symbols are already the default, though. So let's drop the overly-specific definition.

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*) to load the project (which will take some time!). check for successful compilation.

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).

Ensure key CMake option values are part of the CMake output to facilitate user support when tool updates impact the wider CMake actions, particularly ongoing 'improvements' in Visual Studio.

Include the environment's CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS value which may have been propogated to CMake's internal value. Testing the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS processing can be difficult in the Visual Studio environment, as it may be cached in many places.

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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Victoria Dye <vdye@github.com>
