When a graphical GIT_EDITOR is spawned by a Git command that opens
and waits for user input (e.g. "git rebase -i"), then the editor window
might be obscured by other windows. The user might be left staring at
the original Git terminal window without even realizing that s/he needs
to interact with another window before Git can proceed. To this user Git
appears hanging.
Print a message that Git is waiting for editor input in the original
terminal and get rid of it when the editor returns, if the terminal
supports erasing the last line. Also, make sure that our message is
terminated with a whitespace so that any message the editor may show
upon starting up will be kept separate from our message.
Power users might not want to see this message or their editor might
already print such a message (e.g. emacsclient). Allow these users to
suppress the message by disabling the "advice.waitingForEditor" config.
The standard advise() function is not used here as it would always add
a newline which would make deleting the message harder.

Andrew Baumann reported that when called outside of any Git worktree,
`git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree` eventually tries to access
`//HEAD`, i.e. any `HEAD` file in the root directory, but with a double
slash.
This double slash is not only unintentional, but is allowed by the POSIX
standard to have a special meaning. And most notably on Windows, it
does, where it refers to a UNC path of the form `//server/share/`.
As a consequence, afore-mentioned `rev-parse` call not only looks for
the wrong thing, but it also causes serious delays, as Windows will try
to access a server called `HEAD`. Let's simply avoid the unintended
double slash.

The "2>&1" notation in Powershell and in Unix shells implies that stderr
is redirected to the same handle into which stdout is already written.
Let's use this special value to allow the same trick with
GIT_REDIRECT_STDERR and GIT_REDIRECT_STDOUT: if the former's value is
`2>&1`, then stderr will simply be written to the same handle as stdout.
The functionality was suggested by Jeff Hostetler.

Particularly when calling Git from applications, such as Visual Studio's
Team Explorer, it is important that stdin/stdout/stderr are closed
properly. However, when spawning processes on Windows, those handles
must be marked as inheritable if we want to use them, but that flag is a
global flag and may very well be used by other spawned processes which
then do not know to close those handles.
Let's introduce a set of environment variables (GIT_REDIRECT_STDIN and
friends) that specify paths to files, or even better, named pipes (which
are similar to Unix sockets) and that are used by the spawned Git
process. This helps work around above-mentioned issue: those named
pipes will be opened in a non-inheritable way upon startup, and no
handles are passed around (and therefore no inherited handles need to be
closed by any spawned child).
This feature shipped with Git for Windows (marked as experimental) since
v2.11.0(2), so it has seen some serious testing in the meantime.

Linux build jobs on Travis CI skip the P4 and Git LFS tests since
commit 657343a60 (travis-ci: move Travis CI code into dedicated
scripts, 2017-09-10), claiming there are no P4 or Git LFS installed.
The reason is that P4 and Git LFS binaries are not installed to a
directory in the default $PATH, but their directories are prepended to
$PATH. This worked just fine before said commit, because $PATH was
set in a scriptlet embedded in our '.travis.yml', thus its new value
was visible during the rest of the build job. However, after these
embedded scriptlets were moved into dedicated scripts executed in
separate shell processes, any variable set in one of those scripts is
only visible in that single script but not in any of the others. In
this case, 'ci/install-dependencies.sh' downloads P4 and Git LFS and
modifies $PATH, but to no effect, because 'ci/run-tests.sh' only sees
Travis CI's default $PATH.
Move adjusting $PATH to 'ci/lib-travisci.sh', which is sourced in all
other 'ci/' scripts, so all those scripts will see the updated $PATH
value.

With --recurse-submodules, we add each submodule that we encounter to
the list of alternate object databases. With threading, our changes to
the list are not protected against races. Indeed, ThreadSanitizer
reports a race when we call `add_to_alternates_memory()` around the same
time that another thread is reading in the list through
`read_sha1_file()`.
Take the grep read-lock while adding the submodule. The lock is used to
serialize uses of non-thread-safe parts of Git's API, including
`read_sha1_file()`.

When we replaced the old shell script based interactive rebase in
commmit 18633e1a22 ("rebase -i: use the rebase--helper builtin",
2017-02-09) we introduced a regression of functionality in that the
GIT_DIR would be sent to the environment of the exec command as-is.
This generally meant that it would be passed as "GIT_DIR=.git", which
causes problems for any exec command that wants to run git commands in
a subdirectory.
This isn't a very large regression, since it is not that likely that the
exec command will run a git command, and even less likely that it will
need to do so in a subdir. This regression was discovered by a build
system which uses git-describe to find the current version of the build
system, and happened to do so from the src/ sub directory of the
project.
Fix this by passing in the absolute path of the git directory into the
child environment.

t5580 tests that specifying Windows UNC paths works with Git. Cygwin
supports UNC paths, albeit only using forward slashes, not backslashes,
so run the compatible tests on Cygwin as well as MinGW.
The only complication is Cygwin's `pwd`, which returns a *nix-style
path, and that's not suitable for calculating the UNC path to the
current directory. Instead use Cygwin's `cygpath` utility to get the
Windows-style path.
