When the `--immediate` option is in effect, any test failure will
immediately exit the test script. Together with `--write-junit-xml`, we
will want the JUnit-style `.xml` file to be finalized (and not leave the
XML incomplete). Let's make it so.
This comes in particularly handy when trying to debug via Azure
Pipelines, where the JUnit-style XML is consumed to present the test
results in an informative and helpful way.
While at it, also handle the `error()` code path.
The only remaining code path that sets `GIT_EXIT_OK` happens whenever
the trash directory could not be set up, i.e. long before the JUnit XML
was written, therefore we should _not_ try to finalize that XML in that
case.
It is tempting to change the `immediate` code path to just hand off to
`error`, simplifying the code in the process. That would, however,
result in a change of behavior (an additional error message) in the test
suite, which is outside of the purview of the current patch series: its
goal is to allow building Git with Visual Studio and testing it with a
portable version of Git for Windows.

Git for Windows jumps through hoops to provide a development environment
that allows to build Git and to run its test suite. To that end, an
entire MSYS2 system, including GNU make and GCC is offered as "the Git
for Windows SDK". It does come at a price: an initial download of said
SDK weighs in with several hundreds of megabytes, and the unpacked SDK
occupies ~2GB of disk space.
A much more native development environment on Windows is Visual Studio.
To help contributors use that environment, we already have a Makefile
target `vcxproj` that generates a commit with project files (and other
generated files), and Git for Windows' `vs/master` branch is
continuously re-generated using that target.
The idea is to allow building Git in Visual Studio, and to run
individual tests using a Portable Git.
The one missing thing is a way to run the entire test suite: neither
`make` nor `prove` are required to run Git, therefore Git for Windows
does not support those commands in the Portable Git.
To help with that, add a simple test helper that exercises the
`run_processes_parallel()` function to allow for running test scripts in
parallel (which is really necessary, especially on Windows, as Git's
test suite takes such a long time to run).
This will also come in handy for the upcoming change to our Azure
Pipeline: we will use this helper in a Portable Git to test the Visual
Studio build of Git.

The return value of that function is 0 both for variables that are
unset, as well as for variables whose values are empty. To discern those
two cases, one has to call `GetLastError()`, whose return value is
`ERROR_ENVVAR_NOT_FOUND` and `ERROR_SUCCESS`, respectively.
Except that it is not actually set to `ERROR_SUCCESS` in the latter
case, apparently, but the last error value seems to be simply unchanged.
To work around this, let's just re-set the last error value just before
inspecting the environment variable.
This fixes a problem that triggers failures in t3301-notes.sh (where we
try to override config settings by passing empty values for certain
environment variables).
This problem is hidden in the MINGW build by the fact that older
MSVC runtimes (such as the one used by MINGW builds) have a `calloc()`
that re-sets the last error value in case of success, while newer
runtimes set the error value only if `NULL` is returned by that

To build with MSVC, we "translate" GCC options to MSVC options, and part
of those options refer to the libraries to link into the final
executable. Currently, this part looks somewhat like this on Windows:
-lcurl -lnghttp2 -lidn2 -lssl -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32
-lcrypt32 -lwldap32 -lz -lws2_32 -lexpat
Some of those are direct dependencies (such as curl and ssl) and others
are indirect (nghttp2 and idn2, for example, are dependencies of curl,
but need to be linked in for reasons).
We already handle the direct dependencies, e.g. `-liconv` is already
handled as adding `libiconv.lib` to the list of libraries to link
against.
Let's just ignore the remaining `-l*` options so that MSVC does not have
to warn us that it ignored e.g. the `/lnghttp2` option. We do that by
extending the clause that already "eats" the `-R*` options to also eat
the `-l*` options.

MSVC complains about this with `-Wall`, which can be taken as a sign
that this is indeed a real bug. The symptom is:
C4146: unary minus operator applied to unsigned type, result
still unsigned
Let's avoid this warning in the minimal way, e.g. writing `-1 -
<unsigned value>` instead of `-<unsigned value> - 1`.
Note that the change in the `estimate_cache_size()` function is
needed because MSVC considers the "return type" of the `sizeof()`
operator to be `size_t`, i.e. unsigned, and therefore it cannot be
negated using the unary minus operator.
Even worse, that arithmetic is doing extra work, in vain. We want to
calculate the entry extra cache size as the difference between the
size of the `cache_entry` structure minus the size of the
`ondisk_cache_entry` structure, padded to the appropriate alignment
boundary.
To that end, we start by assigning that difference to the `per_entry`
variable, and then abuse the `len` parameter of the
`align_padding_size()` macro to take the negative size of the ondisk
entry size. Essentially, we try to avoid passing the already calculated
difference to that macro by passing the operands of that difference
instead, when the macro expects operands of an addition:
#define align_padding_size(size, len) \
((size + (len) + 8) & ~7) - (size + len)
Currently, we pass A and -B to that macro instead of passing A - B and
0, where A - B is already stored in the `per_entry` variable, ready to
be used.
This is neither necessary, nor intuitive. Let's fix this, and have code
that is both easier to read and that also does not trigger MSVC's
warning.
While at it, we take care of reporting overflows (which are unlikely,
but hey, defensive programming is good!).
We _also_ take pains of casting the unsigned value to signed: otherwise,
the signed operand (i.e. the `-1`) would be cast to unsigned before
doing the arithmetic.

When Git wants to spawn a child Git process inside a worktree's

the work tree's top-level directory explicitly because it cannot be
discovered: the current directory is _not_ the top-level directory of
the work tree, and neither is it inside the parent directory of
`GIT_DIR`.
This fixes the problem where `git stash apply` would report pretty much
everything deleted or untracked when run inside a worktree's
subdirectory.
To make sure that we do not introduce the "reverse problem", i.e. when
`GIT_WORK_TREE` is defined but `GIT_DIR` is not, we simply make sure

For backwards-compatibility (and to prepare for a use case where
submodule and multiple-remote fetches may need different parallelization
limits), the config setting `submodule.fetchJobs` still only controls

trace2 can write files into a target directory. With heavy usage, this
directory can fill up with files, causing difficulty for
trace-processing systems.
This patch adds a config option (trace2.maxFiles) to set a maximum
number of files that trace2 will write to a target directory. The
following behavior is enabled when the maxFiles is set to a positive
integer:
When trace2 would write a file to a target directory, first check
whether or not the traces should be discarded. Traces should be
discarded if:
* there is a sentinel file declaring that there are too many files
* OR, the number of files exceeds trace2.maxFiles.
In the latter case, we create a sentinel file named git-trace2-discard
to speed up future checks.
The assumption is that a separate trace-processing system is dealing
with the generated traces; once it processes and removes the sentinel
file, it should be safe to generate new trace files again.
The default value for trace2.maxFiles is zero, which disables the file
count check.
The config can also be overridden with a new environment variable:
GIT_TRACE2_MAX_FILES.

because they were viewed as unnecessary, but that presents two problems:
1. It leaves us without a way of referring to previous tags if we
want to create a tag of a tag (or higher nestings).
2. It leaves us with no way of recording that a tag has already been

If our input stream includes a tag which is later deleted, we were not
properly deleting it. We did have a step which would delete it, but we
left a tag in the tag list noting that it needed to be updated, and the
updating of annotated tags occurred AFTER ref deletion. So, when we
record that a tag needs to be deleted, also remove it from the list of
annotated tags to update.
While this has likely been something that has not happened in practice,
it will come up more in order to support nested tags. For nested tags,
we either need to give temporary names to the intermediate tags and then
delete them, or else we need to use the final name for the intermediate
tags. If we use the final name for the intermediate tags, then in order
to keep the sanity check that someone doesn't try to update the same tag
twice, we need to delete the ref after creating the intermediate tag.
So, either way nested tags imply the need to delete temporary inner tag
references.

b) Bug only happened when cmd.exe received at least two quoted args
c) Bug happened on any Windows (verified on Win10).

In commit 743474cbfa ("merge-recursive: provide a better label for
diff3 common ancestor", 2019-08-17), the label for the common ancestor
was changed from always being
"merged common ancestors"
to instead be based on the number of merge bases:
>=2: "merged common ancestors"
1: <abbreviated commit hash>
0: "<empty tree>"
Unfortunately, this did not take into account that when we have a single
merge base, that merge base could be fake or constructed. In such
cases, this resulted in a label of "00000000". Of course, the previous
label of "merged common ancestors" was also misleading for this case.
Since we have an API that is explicitly about creating fake merge base
commits in merge_recursive_generic(), we should provide a better label
when using that API with one merge base. So, when
merge_recursive_generic() is called with one merge base, set the label
to:
"constructed merge base"
Note that callers of merge_recursive_generic() include the builtin
commands git-am (in combination with git apply --build-fake-ancestor),
git-merge-recursive, and git-stash.
