At the moment difftool's "trust exit code" logic always suppresses the
exit status of the diff utility we invoke. This is useful because we
don't want to exit just because diff returned "1" because the files
differ, but it's confusing if the shell returns an error because the
selected diff utility is not found.
POSIX specifies 127 as the exit status for "command not found", 126 for
"command found but is not executable" and values greater than 128 if the
command terminated because it received a signal [1] and at least bash
and dash follow this specification, while diff utilities generally use
"1" for the exit status we want to ignore.
Handle any value of 126 or greater as a special value indicating that
some form of fatal error occurred.

In Git for Windows' SDK, the tests are run using a Bash that relies on
the POSIX emulation layer MSYS2 (itself a friendly fork of Cygwin). As
such, paths in tests can be POSIX paths. As soon as those paths are
passed to git.exe (which does *not* use the POSIX emulation layer),
those paths are converted into Windows paths, though. This happens
for command-line parameters, but not when reading, say, config variables.
To help with that, the `pwd` command is overridden to return the Windows
path of the current working directory when testing Git on Windows.
However, when talking to anything using the POSIX emulation layer, it is
really much better to use POSIX paths because Windows paths contain a
colon after the drive letter that will easily be mistaken for the common
separator in path lists.
So let's just use the $PWD variable when the POSIX path is needed.
This lets t7800-difftool.sh, t9400-git-cvsserver-server.sh,
t9402-git-cvsserver-refs.sh and t9401-git-cvsserver-crlf.sh pass in Git
for Windows' SDK.
Note: the cvsserver tests require not only the `cvs` package (install
it into Git for Windows' SDK via `pacman -S cvs`) but also the Perl
SQLite bindings (install them into Git for Windows' SDK via
`cpan DBD::SQLite`).

The caller is preparing a narrowed-down copy of the working tree and
this function is asked if the path should be included in that copy.
If we say yes, the path from the working tree will be either symlinked
or copied into the narrowed-down copy.
For any path that is a symbolic link, the caller later fixes up the
narrowed-down copy by unlinking the path and replacing it with a
regular file it writes out that mimics the way how "git diff"
compares symbolic links.
Let's answer "no, you do not want to copy/symlink the working tree
file" for all symbolic links from this function, as we know the
result will not be used because it will be overwritten anyway.
Incidentally, this also stops the function from feeding a symbolic
link in the working tree to hash-object, which is a wrong thing to
do to begin with. The link may be pointing at a directory, or worse
may be dangling (both would be noticed as an error). Even if the
link points at a regular file, hashing the contents of a file that
is pointed at by the link is not correct (Git hashes the contents of
the link itself, not the pointee).

When the external diff reports an error, we try to clean up
and die. However, we can make this process a bit simpler:
1. We do not need to bother freeing memory, since we are
about to exit. Nor do we need to clean up our
tempfiles, since the atexit() handler will do it for
us. So we can die as soon as we see the error.
3. We can just call die() rather than fprintf/exit. This
does technically change our exit code, but the exit
code of "1" is not meaningful here. In fact, it is
probably wrong, since "1" from diff usually means
"completed successfully, but there were differences".
And while we're there, we can mark the error message for
translation, and drop the full stop at the end to make it
more like our other messages.

The temporary directory prepared by "difftool --dir-diff" to
show the result of a change can be modified by the user via
the tree diff program, and we try hard not to lose changes
to them after tree diff program returns to us.
However, the set of files to be copied back is computed
differently between --symlinks and --no-symlinks modes. The
former checks all paths that start out as identical to the

already had a local modification in the working tree,
allowing changes made in the tree diff program to paths that

When 'git difftool --dir-diff' is using --no-symlinks (either explicitly
or implicitly because it's running on Windows), any working tree files
that have been copied to the temporary directory are copied back after
the difftool completes.
Because an earlier test uses "git add .", the "output" file used by
tests is tracked by Git and the following sequence occurs during some
tests:
1) the shell opens "output" to redirect the difftool output
2) difftool copies the empty "output" to the temporary directory
3) difftool runs "ls" which writes to "output"
4) difftool copies the empty "output" file back over the output of the
command
5) the output file doesn't contain the expected output, causing the
test to fail
Instead of adding all changes, explicitly add only the files that the
test is using, allowing later tests to write their result files into the
working tree.

After running the user's diff tool, git-difftool will copy any files
that differ between the working tree and the temporary tree. This is
useful when the user edits the file in their diff tool but is wrong if
they edit the working tree file while examining the diff.
Instead of copying unconditionally when the files differ, create and
index from the working tree files and only copy the temporary file back
if it was modified and the working tree file was not. If both files
have been modified, print a warning and exit with an error.
Note that we cannot use an existing index in git-difftool since those
contain the modified files that need to be checked out but here we are
looking at those files which are copied from the working tree and not
checked out. These are precisely the files which are not in the
existing indices.

Some users like to edit files in their diff tool when using "git

difftool currently only created symlinks when a file contains unstaged
changes.
Change this behaviour so that symlinks are created whenever the
right-hand side of the comparison has the same SHA1 as the file in the
working tree.
Note that textconv filters are handled in the same way as by git-diff
and if a clean filter is not the inverse of its smudge filter we already
get a null SHA1 from "diff --raw" and will symlink the file without
going through the new hash-object based check.

Allow users to override the default commands provided by the
mergetools/* scriptlets.
Users occasionally run into problems where they expect to be
able to override the built-in tool names. The documentation
does not explicitly mention that built-ins cannot be overridden,
so it's easy to assume that it should work.
Lift this restriction so that built-in tools are handled the
same way as user-configured tools. Add tests to guarantee this
behavior.
A nice benefit of this change is that it protects users from
having future versions of git trump their custom configuration
with a new built-in tool.
