when deciding to run unit tests on Windows, mirroring the behaviour in
the modern GitHub and GitLab workflows.

* The Windows GitLab CI job has been updated to provision and use the
GCC-targeting Rust toolchain for MinGW builds, fixing job failures
caused by incomplete Rust setup and missing linker support.
(merge 1e5f522ef1 js/gitlab-ci-windows-rust later to maint).

* The external merge driver in 'git merge' now uses the tempfile API
to create its temporary files. This ensures that these temporaries
are reliably cleaned up even when the merge driver or its parent Git
process is terminated abruptly.

* The performance test for `git fetch` pack-dir rescans has been
updated to use the `--no-deref` option when cleaning up
remote-tracking branches. This prevents `git update-ref` from
failing with a multiple updates error when both a symref and its
target are deleted in the same transaction.

object IDs instead of SHA-1, to more accurately reflect that the
active hash algorithm is used.

* The HTTP transport has been updated to handle changes in recent curl
versions that strip credentials from the effective URL, preventing
unnecessary credential prompts during redirects.
(merge 76524c2604 jk/http-curl-strip-creds later to maint).

* The timestamp used for checking the reflog of a remote-tracking
branch during 'git push --force-if-includes' was left uninitialized
when the reflog was completely empty, which has been corrected.
