MinGW: Quote arguments for subprocesses that contain a single-quote
Before a process can be spawned by mingw_spawnve, arguments must be
surrounded by double-quotes if special characters are present. This is
necessary because the startup code of the spawned process will expand
arguments that look like glob patterns. "Normal" Windows command line
utilities expand only * and ?, but MSYS programs, including bash, are
different: They also expand braces, and this has already been taken care
of by compat/mingw.c:quote_arg().
But MSYS programs also treat single-quotes in a special way: Arguments
between single-quotes are spliced together (with spaces) into a word.
With this patch this treatment is avoided by quoting arguments that contain
single-quotes.
This lets t4252 pass on Windows.

t5503: GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK is not supported on MinGW
The test opens fd 3 and instructs git-upload-pack (via GIT_DEBUG_SEND_PACK)
to log information to that channel.
The way in which new processes are spawned by git on MinGW does not inherit
all file descriptors to the child processes, but only 0, 1, and 2.
The tests in t5503 require that file descriptor 3 is inherited from
git-fetch to git-upload-pack.
A complete implementation is non-trivial and not warranted just to satisfy
this test. Note that the incompleteness applies only to the executables
that use compat/mingw.c; bash and perl (the other important executables
used by git) are complete, of course.
t7004: Use prerequisite tags to skip tests that need gpg
The tests are skipped if no gpg was found or if gpg is version 1.0.6.
Previously, the latter condition was checked a bit later in the test file
so that the tag verification tests would be exercised. These are now
skipped as well, but only because we would need a facility to revoke a
test prerequisite, which we do not have.
The test verifies that glob special characters can be escaped with
backslashes. In particular, the string fo\[ou\]bar is given to git.
On Windows, this does not work because backslashes are first of all
directory separators, and first thing git does with a pathspec from the
command line is to convert backslashes to forward slashes.
Since the MSYS bash mangles absolute paths that it passes as command line
arguments to non-MSYS progams (such as git or test-path-utils), we have to
bend over backwards to squeeze some usefulness out of the existing tests.
In particular, a set of path normalization tests is added that test
relative paths. Some paths in the ancestor path tests are adjusted to help
MSYS bash's path mangling heuristics.
Use prerequisite tags to skip tests that depend on symbolic links
Many tests depend on that symbolic links work. This introduces a check
that sets the prerequisite tag SYMLINKS if the file system supports
symbolic links. Since so many tests have to check for this prerequisite,
we do the check in test-lib.sh, so that we don't need to repeat the test
in many scripts.
To check for 'ln -s' failures, you can use a FAT partition on Linux:
- The filesystem supports names with tabs or new-lines.
- Files cannot be removed if their containing directory is read-only.
Previously, whether these preconditions are satisified was tested inside
test_expect_success. We move these tests outside because, strictly
speaking, they are not part of the tests.

When --pickaxe-regex is used, forward past the end of matches instead of
advancing to the byte after their start. This way matches count only
once, even if the regular expression matches their tail -- like in the
fixed-string fork of the code.
E.g.: /.*/ used to count the number of bytes instead of the number of
lines. /aa/ resulted in a count of two in "aaa" instead of one.

test-lib: Infrastructure to test and check for prerequisites
Some tests can be run only if a particular prerequisite is available. For
example, some tests require that an UTF-8 locale is available. Here we
introduce functions that are used in this way:
1. Insert code that checks whether the prerequisite is available. If it is,
call test_set_prereq with an arbitrary tag name that subsequently can be
used to check for the prerequisite:
case $LANG in
*.utf-8)
test_set_prereq UTF8
;;
esac
2. In the calls to test_expect_success pass the tag name:

The import-tars script is typically employed to (re)create the past
history of a project from stored tars. Although assigning authorship in
these cases can be a somewhat arbitrary process, it makes sense to set
the author to whoever created the tars in the first place (if it's
known), and (s)he can in general be different from the committer
(whoever is running the script).
Implement this by having separate author and committer data, making them
settable from the usual GIT_* environment variables.

Tests on Windows: $(pwd) must return Windows-style paths
Many tests pass $(pwd) in some form to git and later test that the output
of git contains the correct value of $(pwd). For example, the test of
'git remote show' sets up a remote that contains $(pwd) and then the
expected result must contain $(pwd).
Again, MSYS-bash's path mangling kicks in: Plain $(pwd) uses the MSYS style
absolute path /c/path/to/git. The test case would write this name into
the 'expect' file. But when git is invoked, MSYS-bash converts this name to
the Windows style path c:/path/to/git, and git would produce this form in
the result; the test would fail.
We fix this by passing -W to bash's pwd that produces the Windows-style
path.
There are a two cases that need an accompanying change:
- In t1504 the value of $(pwd) becomes part of a path list. In this case,
the lone 'c' in something like /foo:c:/path/to/git:/bar inhibits
MSYS-bashes path mangling; IOW in this case we want the /c/path/to/git
form to allow path mangling. We use $PWD instead of $(pwd), which always
has the latter form.
- In t6200, $(pwd) - the Windows style path - must be used to construct the
expected result because that is the path form that git sees. (The change
in the test itself is just for consistency: 'git fetch' always sees the
Windows-style path, with or without the change.)
t1002-read-tree-m-u-2way.sh uses 'sum', but it does not rely on the exact
form of the sum, only that it is a hash digest. Therefore, we can sneak
in 'md5sum' under the name 'sum'.
test-lib: Work around incompatible sort and find on Windows
If the PATH lists the Windows system directories before the MSYS
directories, Windows's own incompatible sort and find commands would be
picked up. We implement these commands as functions and call the real
tools by absolute path.
MSYS's bash rewrites /something/bin/... into a Windows path that looks like
c:/msysgit/something/bin/... before git sees it. But later the test case
verifies that the path was used and compares it to the unmangled version.
This fails, of course. This make the path relative so that the path
mangling is not triggered.
We do not have /dev/zero on Windows. This replaces it by data generated
with printf, perl, or echo. Most of the cases do not depend on that the
data is a stream of zero bytes, so we use something printable; nor is an
unlimited stream of data needed, so we produce only as many bytes as the
test cases need.
t2200, t7004: Avoid glob pattern that also matches files
On Windows, there is an unfortunate interaction between the MSYS bash and
git's command line processing:
- Since Windows's CMD does not do the wildcard expansion, but passes
arguments like path* through to the programs, the programs must do the
expansion themselves. This happens in the startup code before main() is
entered.
- bash, however, passes the argument "path*" to git, assuming that git will
see the unquoted word unchanged as a single argument.
But actually git expands the unquoted word before main() is entered.
In t2200, not all names that the test case is interested in exist as files
at the time when 'git ls-files' is invoked. git expands "path?" to only
the subset of files the exist, and only that subset was listed, so that the
test failed. We now list all interesting paths explicitly.
In t7004, git exanded the pattern "*a*" to "actual" (the file that stdout
was redirected to), which is not what the was tested for. We fix it by
renaming the output file (and removing any existing files matching *a*).
This was originally fixed by Johannes Schindelin.
On Windows, you cannot remove files that are in use, not even with
'rm -rf'. So we need to run 'exec <foo/bar' inside a subshell lest
removing the whole test repository fail.

test-lib: Introduce test_chmod and use it instead of update-index --chmod
This function replaces sequences of 'chmod +x' and 'git update-index
--chmod=+x' in the test suite, whose purpose is to help filesystems
that need core.filemode=false. Two places where only 'chmod +x' was used
we also use this new function.
The function calls 'git update-index --chmod' without checking
core.filemode (unlike some of the call sites did). We do this because the
call sites *expect* that the executable bit ends up in the index (ie. it
is not the purpose of the call sites to *test* whether git treats
'chmod +x' and 'update-index --chmod=+x' correctly). Therefore, on
filesystems with core.filemode=true the 'git update-index --chmod' is a
no-op.
The function uses --add with update-index to help one call site in
t6031-merge-recursive. It makes no difference for the other callers.
Since the test case counter was incremented very late, there were a few
users of the counter had to do their own incrementing. Now we increment it
early and simplify these users.
There were some uses of 'say' inside test_expect_success. But if the tests
were not run in verbose mode, this message went to /dev/null. Pull them out
of test_expect_success.
test suite: Use 'say' to say something instead of 'test_expect_success'
Some tests report that some tests will be skipped. They used
'test_expect_success' with a trivially successful test. Nowadays we have
the helper function 'say' for this purpose.
In on case, 'say_color skip' is replaced by 'say' because the former is
not intended as a public API.
The existing text was very vague about what exactly it means
for difference to "contain" a change. This seems to cause
confusion on the mailing list every month or two.
To fix it we:
1. use "introduce or remove an instance of" instead of
"contain"
2. point the user to gitdiffcore(7), which contains a more
complete explanation

Add USE_WIN32_MMAP which triggers the use of windows' native
file memory mapping functionality in git_mmap()/git_munmap() functions.
As git functions currently use mmap with MAP_PRIVATE set only, this
implementation supports only that mode for now.
On Windows, offsets for memory mapped files need to match the allocation
granularity. Take this into account when calculating the packed git-
windowsize and file offsets. At the moment, the only function which makes
use of offsets in conjunction with mmap is use_pack() in sha1-file.c.
Git fast-import's code path tries to map a portion of the temporary
packfile that exceeds the current filesize, i.e. offset+length is
greater than the filesize. The NO_MMAP code worked with that since pread()
just reads the file content until EOF and returns gracefully, while
MapViewOfFile() aborts the mapping and returns 'Access Denied'.
Working around that by determining the filesize and adjusting the length
parameter.
