existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API

Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.
Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.
In order to avoid further problems, such as the issue raised by the new
reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

Update build for Cygwin 1.[57]. Torsten Bögershausen reports that
this is fine with Cygwin 1.7 ($gmane/225824) so let's try moving it
ahead.
* rj/mingw-cygwin:
cygwin: Remove the CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API build variable
mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE
When the user gives an unknown string to a command that expects to
get a ref, we could be more helpful than just saying "that's not a
ref" and die.
Add helper function help_unknown_ref() to take care of displaying an
error message along with a list of suggested refs the user might
have meant. An interaction with "git merge" might go like this:
$ git merge foo
merge: foo - not something we can merge

Throughout git, it is assumed that the WIN32 preprocessor symbol is
defined on native Windows setups (mingw and msvc) and not on Cygwin.
On Cygwin, most of the time git can pretend this is just another Unix
machine, and Windows-specific magic is generally counterproductive.
Unfortunately Cygwin *does* define the WIN32 symbol in some headers.
Best to rely on a new git-specific symbol GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE instead,
defined as follows:
#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)
# define GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE
#endif
After this change, it should be possible to drop the
CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API setting without any negative effect.

Before this patch, a character deletion has the same cost as 2 swaps, or
4 additions, so Git prefers suggesting a completely scrambled command
name to removing a character. For example, "git tags" suggests "stage",
but not "tag".
By setting the deletion cost to 3, we keep it higher than swaps or
additions, but prefer 1 deletion to 2 swaps. "git tags" now suggests
"tag" in addition to staged.

term_columns() checks for terminal width via ioctl(2) on the standard

The effect of this buglet can be observed by opening a wide terminal and

"git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we

Test t7606-merge-custom.sh fails on cygwin when git-merge fails
with an "Could not find merge strategy 'theirs'" error, despite
the test correctly preparing an (executable) git-merge-theirs
script.
The cause of the failure is the mis-detection of the executable
status of the script, by the is_executable() function, while the
load_command_list() function is searching the path for additional
merge strategy programs.
Note that the l/stat() "functions" on cygwin are somewhat
schizophrenic (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843), and
their behaviour depends on the timing of various git setup and
config function calls. In particular, until the "git_dir" has
been set (have_git_dir() returns true), the real cygwin (POSIX
emulating) l/stat() functions are called. Once "git_dir" has
been set, the "native Win32 API" implementations of l/stat()
may, or may not, be called depending on the setting of the
core.filemode and core.ignorecygwinfstricks config variables.
We also note that, since commit c869753, core.filemode is forced
to false, even on NTFS, by git-init and git-clone. A user (or a
test) can, of course, reset core.filemode to true explicitly if
the filesystem supports it (and he doesn't use any problematic
windows software). The test-suite currently runs all tests on
cygwin with core.filemode set to false.
Given the above, we see that the built-in merge strategies are
correctly detected as executable, since they are checked for
before "git_dir" is set, whereas all custom merge strategies are
not, since they are checked for after "git_dir" is set.
In order to fix the mis-detection problem, we change the code in
is_executable() to re-use the conditional WIN32 code section,
which actually looks at the content of the file to determine if
the file is executable. On cygwin we also make the additional
code conditional on the executable bit of the file mode returned
by the initial stat() call. (only the real cygwin function would
set the executable bit in the file mode.)

non-zero (i.e., a delay after which the command is run automatically), the

The cut-off is at similarity rating 6, which was empirically determined

The system's default browser for displaying HTML help pages is now used
directly on Windows, instead of launching git-web--browser, which
requires a Unix shell. Avoiding MSYS' bash when possible is good
because it avoids potential path translation issues. In this case it is
not too hard to avoid launching a shell, so let's avoid it.
The Windows-specific code is implemented in compat/mingw.c to avoid
platform-specific code in the main code base. On Windows, open_html is
provided as a define. If open_html is not defined, git-web--browse is
used. This approach avoids platform-specific ifdefs by using
per-function ifdefs. The "ifndef open_html" together with the

git help -a scans the PATH for git commands. On Windows it failed for two
reasons:
- The PATH separator is ';', not ':' on Windows.
- stat() does not set the executable bit.
We now open the file and guess whether it is executable.
The result of the guess is good enough for the list of git commands, but
it is of no use for a general stat() implementation because (1) it is a
guess, (2) the user has no way to influence the outcome (via chmod or
similar), and (3) it would reduce stat() performance by an unacceptable
amount. Therefore, this strategy is a special-case local to help.c.
