Since fd0a8c2e (first appearing in v1.7.0), the
t/t5560-http-backend-noserver.sh test has used a backslash escape
inside a ${} expansion in order to specify a literal '?' character.
Unfortunately the FreeBSD /bin/sh does not interpret this correctly.
In a POSIX compliant shell, the following:
x='one?two?three'
echo "${x#*\?}"
Would be expected to produce this:
two?three
When using the FreeBSD /bin/sh instead you get this:
one?two?three
In fact the FreeBSD /bin/sh treats the backslash as a literal
character to match so that this:
y='one\two\three'
echo "${y#*\?}"
Produces this unexpected value:
wo\three
In this case the backslash is not only treated literally, it also
fails to defeat the special meaning of the '?' character.
Instead, we can use the [...] construct to defeat the special meaning
of the '?' character and match it exactly in a way that works for the
FreeBSD /bin/sh as well as other POSIX /bin/sh implementations.
Changing the example like so:
x='one?two?three'
echo "${x#*[?]}"
Produces the expected output using the FreeBSD /bin/sh.
Therefore, change the use of \? to [?] in order to be compatible with
the FreeBSD /bin/sh which allows t/t5560-http-backend-noserver.sh to
pass on FreeBSD again.

Define a common macro for grep needing -U to allow tests to not need
to inquire of specific platforms needing this option. Change
t3032 and t5560 to use this rather than testing explicitly for mingw.
This fixes these two tests on Cygwin.

Change several tests to use the sane_unset function introduced in
v1.7.3.1-35-g00648ba instead of the built-in unset function.
This fixes a failure I was having on t9130-git-svn-authors-file.sh on
Solaris, and prevents several other issues from occurring.

Upon program invocation, MSYS converts environment variables containing
path-like values from Unix-style to DOS-style under the assumption that
the program being invoked understands only DOS-style pathnames. For
instance, the Unix-style path /msysgit is translated to c:/msysgit. For
test t5560, the path being requested from git-http-backend is specified
via environment variable PATH_INFO as a URL path of the form
/repo.git/foobar, which git-http-backend combines with GIT_PROJECT_ROOT
to determine the actual physical path within the repository. This is a
case where MSYS's conversion of the path-like value of PATH_INFO causes
harm, for two reasons. First, the resulting converted path, when joined
with GIT_PROJECT_ROOT is bogus (for instance,
"C:/msysgit/git/t/trash-zzz/C:/msysgit/repo.git/HEAD"). Second, the
converted PATH_INFO path is rejected by git-http-backend as an 'alias'
due to validation failure on the part of daemon_avoid_alias().
Unfortunately, the standard work-around of doubling the leading slash
(i.e. //repo.git/foobar) to suppress MSYS path conversion works only for
command-line arguments, but not for environment variables.
Consequently, side step the problem by instead passing git-http-backend
an already-constructed full path rather than components GIT_PROJECT_ROOT
and PATH_INFO.

By default, MSYS grep reads in text-mode and converts CRLF into LF line
endings. For testing HTTP use binary mode (-U) as checking is done for
CR in HTTP headers

A command invocation preceded by variable assignments, i.e.
VAR1=VAL1 VAR2=VAL2 ... command args
are implemented by dash and ksh in such a way not to export these
variables, and keep the values after the command finishes, when the
command is a shell function. POSIX.1 "2.9.5 Function Definition Command"
specifies this behaviour.
Many shells however treat this construct the same way as they are calling
external commands. They export the variables during the duration of
command, and resets their values after command returns.
The test relied on the behaviour of the latter kind.

This reuses many of the tests from the old t5560 but runs those tests
without curl or a webserver. This will hopefully increase the testing
coverage for http-backend because it does not require users to set
GIT_TEST_HTTPD.
