Most Git developers work on Linux and they have no way to know if their
changes would break the Git for Windows build. Let's fix that by adding
a job to TravisCI that builds and tests Git on Windows. Unfortunately,
TravisCI does not support Windows.
Therefore, we did the following:
* Johannes Schindelin set up a Visual Studio Team Services build
sponsored by Microsoft and made it accessible via an Azure Function
that speaks a super-simple API. We made TravisCI use this API to
trigger a build, wait until its completion, and print the build and
test results.
* A Windows build and test run takes up to 3h and TravisCI has a timeout
after 50min for Open Source projects. Since the TravisCI job does not
use heavy CPU/memory/etc. resources, the friendly TravisCI folks
extended the job timeout for git/git to 3h.
Things, that would need to be done:
* Someone with write access to https://travis-ci.org/git/git would need
to add the secret token as "GFW_CI_TOKEN" variable in the TravisCI
repository setting [1]. Afterwards the build should just work.
Things, that might need to be done:
* The Windows box can only process a single build at a time. A second
Windows build would need to wait until the first finishes. This
waiting time and the build time after the wait could exceed the 3h
threshold. If this is a problem, then it is likely to happen every day
as usually multiple branches are pushed at the same time (pu/next/
master/maint). I cannot test this as my TravisCI account has the 50min
timeout. One solution could be to limit the number of concurrent
TravisCI jobs [2].

When Git v2.9.1 was released, it had a bug that showed only on Windows
and on 32-bit systems: our assumption that `unsigned long` can hold
64-bit values turned out to be wrong.
This could have been caught earlier if we had a Continuous Testing
set up that includes a build and test run on 32-bit Linux.
Let's do this (and take care of the Windows build later). This patch
asks Travis CI to install a Docker image with 32-bit libraries and then
goes on to build and test Git using this 32-bit setup.

The `perforce` and `perforce-server` package were moved from brew [1][2]
to cask [3]. Teach TravisCI the new location.
Perforce updates their binaries without version bumps. That made the
brew install (legitimately!) fail due to checksum mismatches. The
workaround is not necessary anymore as Cask [4] allows to disable the
checksum test for individual formulas.

Portability update and workaround for builds on recent Mac OS X.
* ls/macos-update:
travis-ci: disable GIT_TEST_HTTPD for macOS
Makefile: set NO_OPENSSL on macOS by default
TravisCI changed their default macOS image from 10.10 to 10.11 [1].
Unfortunately the HTTPD tests do not run out of the box using the
pre-installed Apache web server anymore. Therefore we enable these
tests only for Linux and disable them for macOS.

The Travis CI configuration we ship ran the tests with --verbose
option but this risks non-TAP output that happens to be "ok" to be
misinterpreted as TAP signalling a test that passed. This resulted
in unnecessary failure. This has been corrected by introducing a
new mode to run our tests in the test harness to send the verbose
output separately to the log file.
* jk/tap-verbose-fix:
test-lib: bail out when "-v" used under "prove"
travis: use --verbose-log test option
test-lib: add --verbose-log option
test-lib: handle TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY with spaces
Because we run the tests via "prove", the output from
"--verbose" may interfere with our TAP output. Using
"--verbose-log" solves this while letting us retain our
on-disk log.

The procedure to build Git on Mac OS X for Travis CI hardcoded the
internal directory structure we assumed HomeBrew uses, which was a
no-no. The procedure has been updated to ask HomeBrew things we
need to know to fix this.
* ls/travis-homebrew-path-fix:
travis-ci: ask homebrew for its path instead of hardcoding it
The TravisCI macOS build is broken because homebrew (a macOS dependency
manager) changed its internal directory structure [1]. This is a problem
because we modify the Perforce dependencies in the homebrew repository
before installing them.
Fix it by asking homebrew for its path instead of hardcoding it.

As this developer has no access to MacOSX developer setups anymore,
Travis becomes the best bet to run performance tests on that OS.
However, on MacOSX /usr/bin/time is that good old BSD executable that
no Linux user cares about, as demonstrated by the perf-lib.sh's use
of GNU-ish extensions. And by the hard-coded path.
Let's just work around this issue by using gtime on MacOSX, the
Homebrew-provided GNU implementation onto which pretty much every
MacOSX power user falls back anyway.
To help other developers use Travis to run performance tests on
MacOSX, the .travis.yml file now sports a commented-out line that
installs GNU time via Homebrew.

The Git Travis CI OSX build always installs the latest versions of Git LFS and
Perforce via brew and the Linux build installs fixed versions. Consequently new

We assume Git developers have a reasonably modern compiler and recommend
them to enable the DEVELOPER makefile knob to ensure their patches are
clear of all compiler warnings the Git core project cares about.

The Travis-CI machines are in a clean state in the beginning of every run
(transient by default). Use the Travis-CI cache feature to make the prove
state persistent across consecutive Travis-CI runs on the same branch.
This allows to run previously failed tests first and run remaining tests
in slowest to fastest order. As a result it is less likely that Travis-CI
needs to wait for a single test at the end which speeds up the test suite
execution by ~2 min.
Travis-CI can only cache entire directories. Prove stores the .prove file
always in the t/ directory but we don't want to cache the entire t/ directory.
Therefore we create a symlink from $HOME/travis-cache/.prove to t/.prove and
cache the $HOME/travis-cache directory.
Unfortunately the cache feature is only available (for free) on the
Travis-CI Linux environment.
