On Unix the idiom to use a pipe is as follows:
pipe(fd);
pid = fork();
if (!pid) {
dup2(fd[1], 1);
close(fd[1]);
close(fd[0]);
...
}
close(fd[1]);
i.e. the child process closes the both pipe ends after duplicating one
to the file descriptors where they are needed.
On Windows, which does not have fork(), we never have an opportunity to
(1) duplicate a pipe end in the child, (2) close unused pipe ends. Instead,
we must use this idiom:
save1 = dup(1);
pipe(fd);
dup2(fd[1], 1);
spawn(...);
dup2(save1, 1);
close(fd[1]);
i.e. save away the descriptor at the destination slot, replace by the pipe
end, spawn process, restore the saved file.
But there is a problem: Notice that the child did not only inherit the
dup2()ed descriptor, but also *both* original pipe ends. Although the one
end that was dup()ed could be closed before the spawn(), we cannot close
the other end - the child inherits it, no matter what.
The solution is to generate non-inheritable pipes. At the first glance,
this looks strange: The purpose of pipes is usually to be inherited to
child processes. But notice that in the course of actions as outlined
above, the pipe descriptor that we want to inherit to the child is
dup2()ed, and as it so happens, Windows's dup2() creates inheritable
duplicates.

When an external git command is invoked, it can be a Bourne shell script.
This patch looks into the command file to see whether it is one.
In this case, the command line is rearranged to invoke the shell
with the proper arguments.
With this change, scripted git commands work. Command line arguments
to those scripts cannot be complex (contain spaces or double-quotes), yet.

Windows's rename() is based on the MoveFile() API, which fails if the
destination exists. Here we work around the problem by using MoveFileEx().
Furthermore, the posixly correct error is returned if the destination is
a directory.
The implementation is still slightly incomplete, however, because of the
missing error code translation: We assume that the failure is due to
permissions.

getpwuid() is implemented just enough that GIT does not issue errors.
Since the information that it returns is not very useful, users are
required to set up user.name and user.email configuration.
All uses of getpwuid() are like getpwuid(getuid()), hence, the return value
of getuid() is irrelevant and the uid parameter is not even looked at.
Side note: getpwnam() is only used to resolve '~' and '~username' paths,
which is an idiom not known on Windows, hence, we don't implement it.

GIT's guts work with a forward slash as a path separators. We do not change
that. Rather we make sure that only "normalized" paths enter the depths
of the machinery.
We have to translate backslashes to forward slashes in the prefix and in
command line arguments. Fortunately, all of them are passed through
functions in setup.c.
A macro has_dos_drive_path() is defined that checks whether a path begins
with a drive letter+colon combination. This predicate is always false on
Unix. Another macro is_dir_sep() abstracts that a backslash is also a
directory separator on Windows.

With this change GIT can be compiled and linked using MinGW. Builtins
that only read the repository such as the log family and grep already
work.
Simple stubs are provided for a number of functions that the Windows C

However, a fix for the snprintf/vsnprintf replacement is applied here

match_explicit is called for each push refspec to try to
fully resolve the source and destination sides of the
refspec. Currently, we look at each refspec and report
errors on both the source and the dest side before aborting.
It makes sense to report errors for each refspec, since an
error in one is independent of an error in the other.
However, reporting errors on the 'dst' side of a refspec if
there has been an error on the 'src' side does not
necessarily make sense, since the interpretation of the
'dst' side depends on the 'src' side (for example, when
creating a new unqualified remote ref, we use the same type
as the src ref).
This patch lets match_explicit return early when the src
side of the refspec is bogus. We still look at all of the
refspecs before aborting the push, though.
At the same time, we clean up the call signature, which
previously took an extra "errs" flag. This was pointless, as
we didn't act on that flag, but rather just passed it back
to the caller. Instead, we now use the more traditional
"return -1" to signal an error, and the caller aggregates
the error count.
This change fixes two bugs, as well:
- the early return avoids a segfault when passing a NULL
matched_src to guess_ref()
- the check for multiple sources pointing to a single dest
aborted if the "err" flag was set. Presumably the intent
was not to bother with the check if we had no
matched_src. However, since the err flag was passed in
from the caller, we might abort the check just because a
previous refspec had a problem, which doesn't make
sense.
In practice, this didn't matter, since due to the error
flag we end up aborting the push anyway.

It worked that way since commit 50f575fc (Tweak diff colors,
2006-06-22), but commit c1795bb0 (Unify whitespace checking, 2007-12-13)
changed it. This patch restores the old behaviour.
Besides Linus' arguments in the log message of 50f575fc, resetting color
before printing newline is also important to keep 'git add --patch'
happy. If the last line(s) of a file are removed, then that hunk will
end with a colored line. However, if the newline comes before the color
reset, then the diff output will have an additional line at the end
containing only the reset sequence. This causes trouble in
git-add--interactive.perl's parse_diff function, because @colored will
have one more element than @diff, and that last element will contain the
color reset. The elements of these arrays will then be copied to @hunk,
but only as many as the number of elements in @diff. As a result the
last color reset is lost and all subsequent terminal output will be
printed in color.

Now that we've made the loose SHA1 file reading more careful and
streamlined, we only use the old find_sha1_file() function for checking
whether a loose object file exists at all.
As such, the whole 'return stat information' part of it was just
pointless (nobody cares any more), and the naming of the function is not
really all that relevant either.
So simplify it to not do a 'stat()', but just an existence check (which
is what the callers want), and rename it to 'has_loose_object()' which
matches the use.

We used to do 'stat()+open()+mmap()+close()' to read the loose object
file data, which does work fine, but has a couple of problems:
- it unnecessarily walks the filename twice (at 'stat()' time and then
again to open it)
- NFS generally has open-close consistency guarantees, which means that
the initial 'stat()' was technically done outside of the normal
consistency rules.
So change it to do 'open()+fstat()+mmap()+close()' instead, which avoids
both these issues.

Instead of creating new temporary objects in the top-level git object
directory, create them in the same directory they will finally end up in
anyway. This avoids making the final atomic "rename to stable name"
operation be a cross-directory event, which makes it a lot easier for
various filesystems.
Several filesystems do things like change the inode number when moving
files across directories (or refuse to do it entirely).
In particular, it can also cause problems for NFS implementations that
change the filehandle of a file when it moves to a different directory,
like the old user-space NFS server did, and like the Linux knfsd still
does if you don't export your filesystems with 'no_subtree_check' or if
you export a filesystem that doesn't have stable inode numbers across
renames).
This change also obviously implies creating the object fan-out
subdirectory at tempfile creation time, rather than at the final
move_temp_to_file() time. Which actually accounts for most of the size
of the patch.
