Ensure key CMake option values are part of the CMake output to
facilitate user support when tool updates impact the wider CMake
actions, particularly ongoing 'improvements' in Visual Studio.

These CMake displays perform the same function as the build-options.txt
provided in the main Git for Windows. CMake is already chatty.
The setting of CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS is also reported.

Include the environment's CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS value which
may have been propogated to CMake's internal value.

Testing the CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS processing can be difficult
in the Visual Studio environment, as it may be cached in many places.
The 'environment' may include the OS, the user shell, CMake's
own environment, along with the Visual Studio presets and caches.

See previous commit for arefacts that need removing for a clean test.

In Git for Windows, `has_symlinks` is set to 0 by default. Therefore, we
need to parse the config setting `core.symlinks` to know if it has been
set to `true`. In `git init`, we must do that before copying the
templates because they might contain symbolic links.

Even if the support for symbolic links on Windows has not made it to
upstream Git yet, we really should make sure that all the `core.*`
settings are parsed before proceeding, as they might very well change
the behavior of `git init` in a way the user intended.

This fixes #3414

On LLP64 systems, such as Windows, the size of `long`, `int`, etc. is
only 32 bits (for backward compatibility). Git's use of `unsigned long`
for file memory sizes in many places, rather than size_t, limits the
handling of large files on LLP64 systems (commonly given as `>4GB`).

Provide a minimum test for handling a >4GB file. The `hash-object`
command, with the  `--literally` and without `-w` option avoids
writing the object, either loose or packed. This avoids the code paths
hitting the `bigFileThreshold` config test code, the zlib code, and the
pack code.

Subsequent patches will walk the test's call chain, converting types to
`size_t` (which is larger in LLP64 data models) where appropriate.

Continue walking the code path for the >4GB `hash-object --literally`
test. The `hash_object_file_literally()` function internally uses both
`hash_object_file()` and `write_object_file_prepare()`. Both function
signatures use `unsigned long` rather than `size_t` for the mem buffer
sizes. Use `size_t` instead, for LLP64 compatibility.

While at it, convert those function's object's header buffer length to
`size_t` for consistency. The value is already upcast to `uintmax_t` for
print format compatibility.

Note: The hash-object test still does not pass. A subsequent commit
continues to walk the call tree's lower level hash functions to identify
further fixes.

Continue walking the code path for the >4GB `hash-object --literally`
test to the hash algorithm step for LLP64 systems.

This patch lets the SHA1DC code use `size_t`, making it compatible with
LLP64 data models (as used e.g. by Windows).

The interested reader of this patch will note that we adjust the
signature of the `git_SHA1DCUpdate()` function without updating _any_
call site. This certainly puzzled at least one reviewer already, so here
is an explanation:

This function is never called directly, but always via the macro
`platform_SHA1_Update`, which is usually called via the macro
`git_SHA1_Update`. However, we never call `git_SHA1_Update()` directly
in `struct git_hash_algo`. Instead, we call `git_hash_sha1_update()`,
which is defined thusly:

    static void git_hash_sha1_update(git_hash_ctx *ctx,
                                     const void *data, size_t len)
    {
        git_SHA1_Update(&ctx->sha1, data, len);
    }

i.e. it contains an implicit downcast from `size_t` to `unsigned long`
(before this here patch). With this patch, there is no downcast anymore.

With this patch, finally, the t1007-hash-object.sh "files over 4GB hash
literally" test case is fixed.

Just like the `hash-object --literally` code path, the `--stdin` code
path also needs to use `size_t` instead of `unsigned long` to represent
memory sizes, otherwise it would cause problems on platforms using the
LLP64 data model (such as Windows).

To limit the scope of the test case, the object is explicitly not
written to the object store, nor are any filters applied.

The `big` file from the previous test case is reused to save setup time;
To avoid relying on that side effect, it is generated if it does not
exist (e.g. when running via `sh t1007-*.sh --long --run=1,41`).

To complement the `--stdin` and `--literally` test cases that verify
that we can hash files larger than 4GB on 64-bit platforms using the
LLP64 data model, here is a test case that exercises `hash-object`
_without_ any options.

Just as before, we use the `big` file from the previous test case if it
exists to save on setup time, otherwise generate it.

To verify that the `clean` side of the `clean`/`smudge` filter code is
correct with regards to LLP64 (read: to ensure that `size_t` is used
instead of `unsigned long`), here is a test case using a trivial filter,
specifically _not_ writing anything to the object store to limit the
scope of the test case.

As in previous commits, the `big` file from previous test cases is
reused if available, to save setup time, otherwise re-generated.

In the case of Git for Windows (say, in a Git Bash window) running in a
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) directory, the GetNamedSecurityInfoW()
call in is_path_owned_By_current_side() returns an error code other than
ERROR_SUCCESS. This is consistent behavior across this boundary.

In these cases, the owner would always be different because the WSL
owner is a different entity than the Windows user.

The change here is to suppress the error message that looks like this:

  error: failed to get owner for '//wsl.localhost/...' (1)

Before this change, this warning happens for every Git command,
regardless of whether the directory is marked with safe.directory.

For Windows builds >= 15063 set $env:TERM to "xterm-256color" instead of
"cygwin" because they have a more capable console system that supports
this. Also set $env:COLORTERM="truecolor" if unset.

$env:TERM is initialized so that ANSI colors in color.c work, see
29a3963 (Win32: patch Windows environment on startup, 2012-01-15).

See #3629 regarding problems caused by always setting
$env:TERM="cygwin".

NtQueryObject under Wine can return a success but fill out no name.
In those situations, Wine will set Buffer to NULL, and set result to
the sizeof(OBJECT_NAME_INFORMATION).

Running a command such as

echo "$(git.exe --version 2>/dev/null)"

will crash due to a NULL pointer dereference when the code attempts to
null terminate the buffer, although, weirdly, removing the subshell or
redirecting stdout to a file will not trigger the crash.

Code has been added to also check Buffer and Length to ensure the check
is as robust as possible due to the current behavior being fragile at
best, and could potentially change in the future

This code is based on the behavior of NtQueryObject under wine and
reactos.

From the documentation of said setting:

	This boolean will enable fsync() when writing object files.

	This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that
	orders data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems
	that do not use journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or
	that only journal metadata and not file contents (OS X’s HFS+,
	or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").

The most common file system on Windows (NTFS) does not guarantee that
order, therefore a sudden loss of power (or any other event causing an
unclean shutdown) would cause corrupt files (i.e. files filled with
NULs). Therefore we need to change the default.

Note that the documentation makes it sound as if this causes really bad
performance. In reality, writing loose objects is something that is done
only rarely, and only a handful of files at a time.

Whith Windows 2000, Microsoft introduced a flag to the PE header to mark executables as
"terminal server aware". Windows terminal servers provide a redirected Windows directory and
redirected registry hives when launching legacy applications without this flag set. Since we
do not use any INI files in the Windows directory and don't write to the registry, we don't
need  this additional preparation. Telling the OS that we don't need this should provide
slightly improved startup times in terminal server environments.

When building for supported Windows Versions with MSVC the /TSAWARE linker flag is
automatically set, but MinGW requires us to set the --tsaware flag manually.

This partially addresses #3935.

Fixes #4090

Signed-off-by: Kiel Hurley <[email protected]>
In f9b7573 (repository: free fields before overwriting them,
2017-09-05), Git was taught to release memory before overwriting it, but
357a03e (repository.c: move env-related setup code back to
environment.c, 2018-03-03) changed the code so that it would not
_always_ be overwritten.

As a consequence, the `commondir` attribute would point to
already-free()d memory.

This seems not to cause problems in core Git, but there are add-on
patches in Git for Windows where the `commondir` attribute is
subsequently used and causing invalid memory accesses e.g. in setups
containing old-style submodules (i.e. the ones with a `.git` directory
within theirs worktrees) that have `commondir` configured.

This fixes #4083.

This compile-time option allows to ask Git to load libcurl dynamically
at runtime.

Together with a follow-up patch that optionally overrides the file name
depending on the `http.sslBackend` setting, this kicks open the door for
installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, and load the one
corresponding to the (runtime-)configured SSL/TLS backend.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
This implements the Windows-specific support code, because everything is
slightly different on Windows, even loading shared libraries.

Note: I specifically do _not_ use the code from
`compat/win32/lazyload.h` here because that code is optimized for
loading individual functions from various system DLLs, while we
specifically want to load _many_ functions from _one_ DLL here, and
distinctly not a system DLL (we expect libcurl to be located outside
`C:\Windows\system32`, something `INIT_PROC_ADDR` refuses to work with).
Also, the `curl_easy_getinfo()`/`curl_easy_setopt()` functions are
declared as vararg functions, which `lazyload.h` cannot handle. Finally,
we are about to optionally override the exact file name that is to be
loaded, which is a goal contrary to `lazyload.h`'s design.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
The previous commits introduced a compile-time option to load libcurl
lazily, but it uses the hard-coded name "libcurl-4.dll" (or equivalent
on platforms other than Windows).

To allow for installing multiple libcurl flavors side by side, where
each supports one specific SSL/TLS backend, let's first look whether
`libcurl-<backend>-4.dll` exists, and only use `libcurl-4.dll` as a fall
back.

That will allow us to ship with a libcurl by default that only supports
the Secure Channel backend for the `https://` protocol. This libcurl
won't suffer from any dependency problem when upgrading OpenSSL to a new
major version (which will change the DLL name, and hence break every
program and library that depends on it).

This is crucial because Git for Windows relies on libcurl to keep
working when building and deploying a new OpenSSL package because that
library is used by `git fetch` and `git clone`.

Note that this feature is by no means specific to Windows. On Ubuntu,
for example, a `git` built using `LAZY_LOAD_LIBCURL` will use
`libcurl.so.4` for `http.sslbackend=openssl` and `libcurl-gnutls.so.4`
for `http.sslbackend=gnutls`.

It is merely a historical wart that, say, `git-commit` exists in the
`libexec/git-core/` directory, a tribute to the original idea to let Git
be essentially a bunch of Unix shell scripts revolving around very few
"plumbing" (AKA low-level) commands.

Git has evolved a lot from there. These days, most of Git's
functionality is contained within the `git` executable, in the form of
"built-in" commands.

To accommodate for scripts that use the "dashed" form of Git commands,
even today, Git provides hard-links that make the `git` executable
available as, say, `git-commit`, just in case that an old script has not
been updated to invoke `git commit`.

Those hard-links do not come cheap: they take about half a minute for
every build of Git on Windows, they are mistaken for taking up huge
amounts of space by some Windows Explorer versions that do not
understand hard-links, and therefore many a "bug" report had to be
addressed.

The "dashed form" has been officially deprecated in Git version 1.5.4,
which was released on February 2nd, 2008, i.e. a very long time ago.
This deprecation was never finalized by skipping these hard-links, but
we can start the process now, in Git for Windows.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
This will help with Git for Windows' maintenance going forward: It
allows Git for Windows to switch its primary libcurl to a variant
without the OpenSSL backend, while still loading an alternate when
setting `http.sslBackend = openssl`.

This is necessary to avoid maintenance headaches with upgrading OpenSSL:
its major version name is encoded in the shared library's file name and
hence major version updates (temporarily) break libraries that are
linked against the OpenSSL library.

Windows 10 version 1511 (also known as Anniversary Update), according to
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences
introduced native support for ANSI sequence processing. This allows
using colors from the entire 24-bit color range.

All we need to do is test whether the console's "virtual processing
support" can be enabled. If it can, we do not even need to start the
`console_thread` to handle ANSI sequences.

Or, almost all we need to do: When `console_thread()` does its work, it
uses the Unicode-aware `write_console()` function to write to the Win32
Console, which supports Git for Windows' implicit convention that all
text that is written is encoded in UTF-8. The same is not necessarily
true if native ANSI sequence processing is used, as the output is then
subject to the current code page. Let's ensure that the code page is set
to `CP_UTF8` as long as Git writes to it.

winuser.h contains the definition of RT_MANIFEST that our LLVM based
toolchain needs to understand that we want to embed
compat/win32/git.manifest as an application manifest. It currently just
embeds it as additional data that Windows doesn't understand.

This also helps our GCC based toolchain understand that we only want one
copy embedded. It currently embeds one working assembly manifest and one
nearly identical, but useless copy as additional data.

This also teaches our Visual Studio based buildsystems to pick up the
manifest file from git.rc. This means we don't have to explicitly specify
it in contrib/buildsystems/Generators/Vcxproj.pm anymore. Slightly
counter-intuitively this also means we have to explicitly tell Cmake
not to embed a default manifest.

A long time ago, we decided to run tests in Git for Windows' SDK with
the default `winsymlinks` mode: copying instead of linking. This is
still the default mode of MSYS2 to this day.

However, this is not how most users run Git for Windows: As the majority
of Git for Windows' users seem to be on Windows 10 and newer, likely
having enabled Developer Mode (which allows creating symbolic links
without administrator privileges), they will run with symlink support
enabled.

This is the reason why it is crucial to get the fixes for CVE-2024-? to

The `__MINGW64__` constant is defined, surprise, surprise, only when
building for a 64-bit CPU architecture.

Therefore using it as a guard to define `_POSIX_C_SOURCE` (so that
`localtime_r()` is declared, among other functions) is not enough, we
also need to check `__MINGW32__`.

Technically, the latter constant is defined even for 64-bit builds. But
let's make things a bit easier to understand by testing for both
constants.

Making it so fixes this compile warning (turned error in GCC v14.1):

This topic integrates a patch that updates the `actions/checkout` and
`actions/download-artifact` Actions to v5.

The main aim is to keep the versions up to date; It does not change any
behavior because the Git project does not use any self-hosted runners
(where the only incompatible change of `actions/checkout` could
potentially break: It increases the required node.js version), and
neither does it use the feature of `actions/download-artifact` where it
is possible to refer to the artifact by ID instead of name.

<h2>v5.0.0</h2>
<h3>🚨 Breaking Change</h3>
<p>This release fixes an inconsistency in path behavior for single
artifact downloads by ID. <strong>If you're downloading single artifacts
by ID, the output path may change.</strong></p>
<h4>What Changed</h4>
<p>Previously, <strong>single artifact downloads</strong> behaved
differently depending on how you specified the artifact:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>By name</strong>: <code>name: my-artifact</code> → extracted
to <code>path/</code> (direct)</li>
<li><strong>By ID</strong>: <code>artifact-ids: 12345</code> → extracted
to <code>path/my-artifact/</code> (nested)</li>
</ul>
<p>Now both methods are consistent:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>By name</strong>: <code>name: my-artifact</code> → extracted
to <code>path/</code> (unchanged)</li>
<li><strong>By ID</strong>: <code>artifact-ids: 12345</code> → extracted
to <code>path/</code> (fixed - now direct)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Migration Guide</h4>
<h5>✅ No Action Needed If:</h5>
<ul>
<li>You download artifacts by <strong>name</strong></li>
<li>You download <strong>multiple</strong> artifacts by ID</li>
<li>You already use <code>merge-multiple: true</code> as a
workaround</li>
</ul>
<h5>⚠️ Action Required If:</h5>
<p>You download <strong>single artifacts by ID</strong> and your
workflows expect the nested directory structure.</p>
<p><strong>Before v5 (nested structure):</strong></p>
<pre lang="yaml"><code>- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
  with:
    artifact-ids: 12345
    path: dist
# Files were in: dist/my-artifact/
</code></pre>
<blockquote>
<p>Where <code>my-artifact</code> is the name of the artifact you
previously uploaded</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>To maintain old behavior (if needed):</strong></p>
<pre lang="yaml"><code>&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt; 
</code></pre>
