On Unix (and Linux), files and directories whose names start with a dot
are usually not shown by default. This convention is used by Git: the
.git/ directory should be left alone by regular users, and only accessed
through Git itself.
On Windows, no such convention exists. Instead, there is an explicit flag
to mark files or directories as hidden.
In the early days, Git for Windows did not mark the .git/ directory (or
for that matter, any file or directory whose name starts with a dot)
hidden. This lead to quite a bit of confusion, and even loss of data.
Consequently, Git for Windows introduced the core.hideDotFiles setting,
with three possible values: true, false, and dotGitOnly, defaulting to
marking only the .git/ directory as hidden.
The rationale: users do not need to access .git/ directly, and indeed (as
was demonstrated) should not really see that directory, either. However,
not all dot files should be hidden by default, as e.g. Eclipse does not
show them (and the user would therefore be unable to see, say, a
.gitattributes file).
In over five years since the last attempt to bring this patch into core
Git, a slightly buggy version of this patch has served Git for Windows'
users well: no single report indicated problems with the hidden .git/
directory, and the stream of problems caused by the previously non-hidden
.git/ directory simply stopped. The bugs have been fixed during the
process of getting this patch upstream.
Note that there is a funny quirk we have to pay attention to when
creating hidden files: we use Win32's _wopen() function which
transmogrifies its arguments and hands off to Win32's CreateFile()
function. That latter function errors out with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED (the
equivalent of EACCES) when the equivalent of the O_CREAT flag was passed
and the file attributes (including the hidden flag) do not match an
existing file's. And _wopen() accepts no parameter that would be
transmogrified into said hidden flag. Therefore, we simply try again
without O_CREAT.
A slightly different method is required for our fopen()/freopen()
function as we cannot even *remove* the implicit O_CREAT flag.
Therefore, we briefly mark existing files as unhidden when opening them
via fopen()/freopen().
The ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED error can also be triggered by opening a file
that is marked as a system file (which is unlikely to be tracked in
Git), and by trying to create a file that has *just* been deleted and is
awaiting the last open handles to be released (which would be handled
better by the "Try again?" logic, a story for a different patch series,
though). In both cases, it does not matter much if we try again without
the O_CREAT flag, read: it does not hurt, either.
For details how ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED can be triggered, see

d95138e6 (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when work tree is set, like
$GIT_DIR, 2015-06-26) attempted to work around a glitch in alias
handling by overwriting GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable to
affect subprocesses when set_git_work_tree() gets called, which
resulted in a rather unpleasant regression to "clone" and "init".
Try to address the same issue by always restoring the environment
and respawning the real underlying command when handling alias.

git.c: make sure we do not leak GIT_* to alias scripts

git.c: make it clear save_env() is for alias handling only
The unfortunate commit d95138e (setup: set env $GIT_WORK_TREE when
work tree is set, like $GIT_DIR - 2015-06-26) exposes another problem,
besides git-clone that's described in the previous commit. If
GIT_WORK_TREE (or even GIT_DIR) is exported to an alias script, it may
mislead git commands in the script where the repo is. Granted, most
scripts work on the repo where the alias is summoned from. But nowhere
do we forbid the script to visit another repository.
The revert of d95138e in the previous commit is sufficient as a
fix. However, to protect us from accidentally leaking GIT_*
environment variables again, we restore certain sensitive env before
calling the external script.
GIT_PREFIX is let through because there's another setup side effect
that we simply accepted so far: current working directory is
moved. Maybe in future we can introduce a new alias format that
guarantees no cwd move, then we can unexport GIT_PREFIX.

The init code predates strbufs, and uses PATH_MAX-sized
buffers along with many manual checks on intermediate sizes
(some of which make magic assumptions, such as that init
will not create a path inside .git longer than 50
characters).
We can simplify this greatly by using strbufs, which drops
some hard-to-verify strcpy calls in favor of git_path_buf.
While we're in the area, let's also convert existing calls
to git_path to the safer git_path_buf (our existing calls
were passed to pretty tame functions, and so were not a
problem, but it's easy to be consistent and safe here).
Note that we had an explicit test that "git init" rejects
long template directories. This comes from 32d1776 (init: Do
not segfault on big GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable,
2009-04-18). We can drop the test_must_fail here, as we now
accept this and need only confirm that we don't segfault,
which was the original point of the test.

Since time immemorial, the test of whether to set "core.filemode"
has been done by trying to toggle the u+x bit on $GIT_DIR/config,
which we know always exists, and then testing whether the change
"took". I find it somewhat odd to use the config file for this
test, but whatever.
The test code didn't set the u+x bit back to its original state
itself, instead relying on the subsequent call to git_config_set()
to re-write the config file with correct permissions.
But ever since
daa22c6f8d config: preserve config file permissions on edits (2014-05-06)
git_config_set() copies the permissions from the old config file to
the new one. This is a good change in and of itself, but it
invalidates the create_default_files()'s assumption, causing "git
init" to leave the executable bit set on $GIT_DIR/config.
Reset the permissions on $GIT_DIR/config when we are done with the
test in create_default_files().

git potty: restore environments after alias expansion
Commit 4ad8332 (t0001: test git init when run via an alias -
2010-11-26) noted breakages when running init via alias. The problem
is for alias to be used, $GIT_DIR must be searched, but 'init' and
'clone' are not happy with that. So we start a new process like an
external command, with clean environment in this case. Env variables
that are set by command line (e.g. "git --git-dir=.. ") are kept.
This should also fix autocorrecting a command typo to "init" because
it's the same problem: aliases are read, then "init" is unhappy with
$GIT_DIR already set up because of that.

We also check that "here" is not a directory, which is
slightly misleading. It should not be a directory, but
neither should it be gone. It is the actual resting place of
the git-file, and .git remains a symlink to it.

Several test scripts manually unset GIT_CONFIG and other
GIT_* variables. These are generally taken care of for us by
test-lib.sh already.
Unsetting these is not only useless, but can be confusing to
a reader, who may wonder why some tests in a script unset
them and others do not (t0001 is particularly guilty of this
inconsistency, probably because many of its tests predate
the test-lib.sh environment-cleansing).
Note that we cannot always get rid of such unsetting. For
example, t9130 can drop the GIT_CONFIG unset, but not the
GIT_DIR one, because lib-git-svn.sh sets the latter. And in
t1000, we unset GIT_TEMPLATE_DIR, which is explicitly
initialized by test-lib.sh.

Add some tests to document the correct behavior of (possibly aliased)

If I set up a simple git alias “quietinit = init --quiet”, usually it
will work just like ‘git init --quiet’.
There are some differences, unfortunately, since in the process of
checking for aliases, git has to look for a .git/config file. If ‘git
quietinit’ is run from a subdirectory of an existing git repository,
that repository’s configuration will affect the configuration of the
new repository. In particular, the new repository can inherit
bogus values for core.bare and core.worktree.

If we know we are creating a bare repository, we use setenv
to set the GIT_DIR directory to the current directory
(either where we already were, or one we created and chdir'd
into with "git init --bare <dir>").
However, with "git --bare init <dir>" (note the --bare as a
git wrapper option), the setup code actually sets GIT_DIR
for us, but it uses the wrong, original cwd when a directory
is given. Because our setenv does not use the overwrite
flag, it is ignored.
We need to set the overwrite flag, but only when we are
given a directory on the command line. That still allows:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare
to work. The behavior is changed for:
GIT_DIR=foo.git git init --bare bar.git
which used to create the repository in foo.git, but now will
use bar.git. This is more sane, as command line options
should generally override the environment.

If core.bare or core.sharedRepository are set in /etc/gitconfig or
~/.gitconfig, then 'git init' will read the values when constructing a
new config file; reading them, however, will override the values
specified on the command line. In the case of --bare, this ends up
causing a segfault, without the repository being properly initialised;
in the case of --shared, the permissions are set according to the
existing config settings, not what was specified on the command line.
This fix saves any specified values for --bare and --shared prior to
reading existing config settings, and restores them after reading but
before writing the new config file. core.bare is ignored in all
situations, while core.sharedRepository will only be used if --shared
is not specified to git init.
Also includes testcases which use a specified global config file
override, demonstrating the former failure scenario.
