912f9980d2 Makefile: help people who run 'make check' by mistake
The target to run self test is 'make test', but there are people who try
'make check' and worse yet do not have sparse installed.

Suggest 'make test' target when they do not have 'sparse'.

0e214af9c3 Makefile: do not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 8
This breaks my build on Solaris 8, as there is no separate
libiconv.

The history of this line is somewhat convoluted. In 2fd955c
(in November 2005), NEEDS_LIBICONV was turned on for all
Solaris builds, claiming to "fix an error in Solaris 10 by
setting NEEDS_LIBICONV".

Later, e15f545 (in February of 2006) claimed that "Solaris
9+ don't need iconv", and moved NEEDS_LIBICONV into a
section for Solaris 8.

Furthermore, Brandon Casey claims in

<5A1KxlhmUIHe8iXPxnXYuNXsq0Yjlbwkz2eBin3z7ELuL9nK-4tSpw@cipher.nrlssc.navy.mil>

that he does not set NEEDS_LIBICONV for Solaris 7.

So either one of those commits is totally wrong, or there is
some other magic going on where some Solaris installs need
it and others don't.

Given Brandon's statement and my problems on Solaris 8 with
NEEDS_LIBICONV, I am inclined to think the first commit was
bogus, and that NEEDS_LIBICONV shouldn't be set for Solaris
at all by default. If somebody wants to use iconv and has
installed it manually, they can set it in their config.mak.

3632cfc248 Use compatibility regex library for OSX/Darwin
The standard libc regex library on OSX does not support alternation
in POSIX Basic Regular Expression mode.  This breaks the diff.funcname
functionality on OSX.

To fix this, we use the GNU regex library which is already present in
the compat/ diretory for the MinGW port.  However, simply adding compat/
to the COMPAT_CFLAGS variable causes a conflict between the system
fnmatch.h and the one present in compat/.  To remedy this, move the
regex and fnmatch functionality to their own subdirectories in compat/
so they can be included seperately.

The code failed to filter-out git-add properly on platforms were $X is
not empty (ATM there is only one such a platform).

Than it tried to create a hardlink to the file ($execdir/git-add) it just
removed (because git-add is first in the BUILT_INS), so ln failed (but
because stderr was redirected into /dev/null the error was never seen), and
the whole install ended up using "ln -s" instead.

3e073dc561 Makefile: always provide a fallback when hardlinks fail
We make hardlinks from "git" to "git-<cmd>" built-ins and have been
careful to avoid cross-device links when linking "git-<cmd>" to
gitexecdir.

However, we were not prepared to deal with a build directory that is
incapable of making hard links within itself. This patch corrects it.

Instead of temporarily linking "git" to gitexecdir, directly link "git-
add", falling back to "cp". Try hardlinking that as "git-<cmd>", falling
back to symlinks or "cp" on error.

While at it, avoid 100+ error messages from hardlink failures when we are
going to fall back to symlinks or "cp" by redirecting the standard error
to /dev/null.

6dc4627ef4 Makefile: add a target which will abort compilation with ancient shells
This adds a make target which can be used to try to execute certain shell
constructs which are required for compiling and running git.

This patch provides a test for the $() notation for command substition
which is used in the Makefile and extensively in the git scripts.

The make target is named in such a way as to be a hint to the user that
SHELL_PATH should be set to an appropriate shell. If the shell command
fails, the user should receive a message similar to the following:

make: *** [please_set_SHELL_PATH_to_a_more_modern_shell] Error 2

49fa65a7a8 Allow the built-in exec path to be relative to the command invocation path
If GIT_EXEC_PATH (the macro that is defined in the Makefile) is relative,
it is interpreted relative to the command's invocation path, which usually
is $(bindir).

The Makefile rules were written with the assumption that $(gitexecdir) is
an absolute path. We introduce a separate variable that names the
(absolute) installation directory.

966c6edd31 Fix relative built-in paths to be relative to the command invocation
$(gitexecdir) (as defined in the Makefile) has gained another path
component, but the relative paths in the MINGW section of the Makefile,
which are interpreted relative to it, do not account for it.

Instead of adding another ../ in front of the path, we change the code that
constructs the absolute paths to do it relative to the command's directory,
which is essentially $(bindir). We do it this way because we will also
allow a relative $(gitexecdir) later.

46beb55988 Makefile: Normalize $(bindir) and $(gitexecdir) before comparing
The install target needs to check whether the user has opted to make
$(gitexecdir) equal to $(bindir). It did so by a straight string
comparison. Since we are going to allow a relative $(gitexecdir), we have
to normalize paths before comparison, which we do with $(cd there && pwd).

The normalized paths are stored in shell variables. These we can now
reuse in the subsequent install statements, which conveniently shortens
the lines a bit.

c70a8d98a5 Makefile: Do not install a copy of 'git' in $(gitexecdir)
There is already a copy in $(bindir). A subsequent patch will enable git
to derive the exec-path from its invocation path. If git is invoked
recursively, the first invocation puts the exec-path into PATH, so that
the recursive invocation would find the instance in the exec-path. This
second instance would again try to derive an exec-path from its invocation
path, but would base its result on the wrong "bindir".

We do install the copy of git first, but remove it later, so that we can
use it as the source of the hardlinks for the builtins.

98db51e624 Keep some git-* programs in $(bindir)
Otherwise remote executions directly over ssh won't find them as they used
to.  --upload-pack and --receive-pack options _could_ be used on the
client side, but things should keep working out-of-box for older clients.

Later versions of clients (fetch-pack and send-pack) probably could start
asking for these programs with dashless form, but that is a different
topic.

23326d14ed Windows: Strip ".exe" from the program name.
Before we can successfully parse a builtin command from the program name
we must strip off unneeded parts, that is, the file extension.

Furthermore, we must take Windows style path names into account when we
parse the program name.

112db553b0 Shrink the git binary a bit by avoiding unnecessary inline functions
So I was looking at the disgusting size of the git binary, and even with
the debugging removed, and using -Os instead of -O2, the size of the text
section was pretty high. In this day and age I guess almost a megabyte of
text isn't really all that surprising, but it still doesn't exactly make
me think "lean and mean".

With -Os, a surprising amount of text space is wasted on inline functions
that end up just being replicated multiple times, and where performance
really isn't a valid reason to inline them. In particular, the trivial
wrapper functions like "xmalloc()" are used _everywhere_, and making them
inline just duplicates the text (and the string we use to 'die()' on
failure) unnecessarily.

So this just moves them into a "wrapper.c" file, getting rid of a tiny bit
of unnecessary bloat. The following numbers are both with "CFLAGS=-Os":

Before:
	[torvalds@woody git]$ size git
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	 700460	  15160	 292184	1007804	  f60bc	git

After:
	[torvalds@woody git]$ size git
	   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
	 670540	  15160	 292184	 977884	  eebdc	git

so it saves almost 30k of text-space (it actually saves more than that
with the default -O2, but I don't think that's necessarily a very relevant
number from a "try to shrink git" standpoint).

It might conceivably have a performance impact, but none of this should be
_that_ performance critical. The real cost is not generally in the wrapper
anyway, but in the code it wraps (ie the cost of "xread()" is all in the
read itself, not in the trivial wrapping of it).

f4626df51f Add target architecture MinGW.
With this change GIT can be compiled and linked using MinGW. Builtins
that only read the repository such as the log family and grep already
work.

Simple stubs are provided for a number of functions that the Windows C
runtime does not offer. They will be completed in later patches.
However, a fix for the snprintf/vsnprintf replacement is applied here
to avoid buffer overflows.

Dmitry Kakurin pointed out that access(..., X_OK) would always fails on
Vista and suggested the -D__USE_MINGW_ACCESS workaround.
