c9df6f4574 mingw: remove mingw_write
Since 0b6806b9 ("xread, xwrite: limit size of IO to 8MB"), this
wrapper is no longer needed, as read and write are already split
into small chunks.

64a99eb476 gc: reject if another gc is running, unless --force is given
This may happen when `git gc --auto` is run automatically, then the
user, to avoid wait time, switches to a new terminal, keeps working
and `git gc --auto` is started again because the first gc instance has
not clean up the repository.

This patch tries to avoid multiple gc running, especially in --auto
mode. In the worst case, gc may be delayed 12 hours if a daemon reuses
the pid stored in gc.pid.

kill(pid, 0) support is added to MinGW port so it should work on
Windows too.

657b35f4be compat/mingw.c: Fix some sparse warnings
Sparse issues the following warnings:

        SP compat/mingw.c
    compat/mingw.c:795:3: warning: symbol 'pinfo_t' was not declared. \
        Should it be static?
    compat/mingw.c:796:16: warning: symbol 'pinfo' was not declared. \
        Should it be static?
    compat/mingw.c:797:18: warning: symbol 'pinfo_cs' was not declared. \
        Should it be static?
    compat/mingw.c:1207:23: warning: Using plain integer as NULL pointer

In 'pinfo_t' variable, defined on line 795, seems to have been a
mistake (a missing typedef keyword?), so we simply remove it.

The 'pinfo' variable does not require more than file scope, so we
simply add the static modifier to the declaration.

The 'pinfo_cs' variable, in contrast, requires initialisation in the
mingw replacement main() function, so we add an extern declaration to
the compat/mingw.h header file.

The remaining warning is suppressed by replacing the rhs of the
pointer assignment with the NULL pointer literal.

a83b2b578c mingw_rmdir: do not prompt for retry when non-empty
in ab1a11be ("mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate"),
a check was added to prevent us from retrying to delete a directory
that is both in use and non-empty.

However, this logic was slightly flawed; since we didn't return
immediately, we end up falling out of the retry-loop, but right into
the prompting-loop.

Fix this by setting errno, and guarding the prompting-loop with an
errno-check.

check to compat

Commit b2f5e268 (Windows: Work around an oddity when a pipe with no reader

spurious "Invalid argument" errors on Windows when a pipe was broken. But
this check may hide real errors on systems that do not have the this odd
behavior. Introduce an fflush wrapper in compat/mingw.* so that the treatment
is only applied on Windows.

1696d72321 compat/mingw.[ch]: Change return type of exec functions to int
The POSIX standard specifies a return type of int for all six exec
functions. In addition, all exec functions return -1 on error, and
simply do not return on success. However, the current emulation of
the exec functions on mingw are declared with a void return type.

This would cause a problem should any code attempt to call the
exec function in a non-void context. In particular, if an exec
function were used in a conditional it would fail to compile.

In order to improve the fidelity of the emulation, we change the
return type of the mingw_execv[p] functions to int and return -1
on error.

040a655116 cleanup: use internal memory allocation wrapper functions everywhere
The "x"-prefixed versions of strdup, malloc, etc. will check whether the
allocation was successful and terminate the process otherwise.

A few uses of malloc were left alone since they already implemented a
graceful path of failure or were in a quasi external library like xdiff.

Additionally, the call to malloc in compat/win32/syslog.c was not modified
since the syslog() implemented there is a die handler and a call to the
x-wrappers within a die handler could result in recursion should memory
allocation fail.  This will have to be addressed separately.

df599e9612 Windows: teach getenv to do a case-sensitive search
getenv() on Windows looks up environment variables in a case-insensitive
manner. Even though all documentations claim that the environment is
case-insensitive, it is possible for applications to pass an environment
to child processes that has variables that differ only in case. Bash on
Windows does this, for example, and sh-i18n--envsubst depends on this
behavior.

With this patch environment variables are first looked up in a
case-sensitive manner; only if this finds nothing, the system's getenv() is
used as a fallback.

06bc4b796a mingw.c: move definition of mingw_getenv down
We want to use static lookup_env() in a subsequent change.

At first sight, this change looks innocent. But it is not due to the
#undef getenv. There is one caller of getenv between the old location and
the new location whose behavior could change. But as can be seen from the
defintion of mingw_getenv, the behavior for this caller does not change
substantially.

To ensure consistent behavior in the future, change all getenv callers
in mingw.c to use mingw_getenv.

With this patch, this is not a big deal, yet, but with the subsequent
change, where we teach getenv to do a case-sensitive lookup, the behavior
of all call sites is changed.

c9b7840080 mingw: make failures to unlink or move raise a question
On Windows in case a program is accessing a file unlink or
move operations may fail. To give the user a chance to correct
this we simply wait until the user asks us to retry or fail.

This is useful because of the following use case which seem
to happen rarely but when it does it is a mess:

After making some changes the user realizes that he was on the
incorrect branch. When trying to change the branch some file
is still in use by some other process and git stops in the
middle of changing branches. Now the user has lots of files
with changes mixed with his own. This is especially confusing
on repositories that contain lots of files.

Although the recent implementation of automatic retry makes
this scenario much more unlikely lets provide a fallback as
a last resort.

Thanks to Albert Dvornik for disabling the question if users can't see it.

If the stdout of the command is connected to a terminal but the stderr
has been redirected, the odds are good that the user can't see any
question we print out to stderr.  This will result in a "mysterious
hang" while the app is waiting for user input.

It seems better to be conservative, and avoid asking for input
whenever the stderr is not a terminal, just like we do for stdin.

d1b6e6e015 win32: use our own dirent.h
The mingw-runtime implemenation of opendir, readdir and closedir
sets errno to 0 on success, something that POSIX explicitly
forbids. 3ba7a06 ("A loose object is not corrupt if it cannot be
read due to EMFILE") introduce a dependency on this behaviour,
leading to a broken "git clone" on Windows.

compat/mingw.c contains an implementation of readdir, and
compat/msvc.c contains implementations of opendir and closedir.

Move these to compat/win32/dirent.[ch], and change to our own DIR
structure at the same time.

This provides a generic Win32-implementation of opendir, readdir
and closedir which works on both MinGW and MSVC and does not reset
errno, and as a result git clone is working again on Windows.

52de4db579 mingw: use real pid
The Windows port have so far been using process handles in place
of PID. However, this is not work consistent with what getpid
returns.

PIDs are system-global identifiers, but process handles are local
to a process. Using PIDs instead of process handles allows, for
instance, a user to kill a hung process with the Task Manager,
something that would have been impossible with process handles.

Change the code to use the real PID, and use OpenProcess to get a
process-handle. Store the PID and the process handle in a linked
list protected by a critical section, so we can safely close the
process handle later.

flag but if we are called as stat() we read the size of the target and set

  "If times is a null pointer, the access and modification
   times of the file shall be set to the current time."

Let's do so.

c8b296450e Fix checkout of large files to network shares on Windows XP
Bigger writes to network drives on Windows XP fail.  Cap them at 31MB to
allow them to succeed.  Callers need to be prepared for write() calls
that do less work than requested anyway.

On local drives, write() calls are translated to WriteFile() calls with
a cap of 64KB on Windows XP and 256KB on Vista.  Thus a cap of 31MB won't
affect the number of WriteFile() calls which do the actual work.  There's
still room for some other version of Windows to use a chunk size of 1MB
without increasing the number of system calls.
