cygwin: allow pushing to UNC paths

2017-07-05T21:01:03+00:00

 cygwin can use an UNC path like //server/share/repo

 $ cd //server/share/dir
 $ mkdir test
 $ cd test
 $ git init --bare

 However, when we try to push from a local Git repository to this repo,
 there is a problem: Git converts the leading "//" into a single "/".

 As cygwin handles an UNC path so well, Git can support them better:

 - Introduce cygwin_offset_1st_component() which keeps the leading "//",
   similar to what Git for Windows does.

 - Move CYGWIN out of the POSIX in the tests for path normalization in t0060

cygwin: Remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation

2013-07-18T17:44:17+00:00

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.

cygwin: Remove the CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API build variable

2013-05-08T19:15:44+00:00

Commit 380a4d92 ("Update cygwin.c for new mingw-64 win32 api headers",
11-11-2012) solved an header include order problem on cygwin 1.7 when
using the new mingw-64 WIN32 API headers. The solution involved using
a new build variable (V15_MINGW_HEADERS) to conditionally compile the
cygwin.c source file to use an include order appropriate for the old
and new header files. (The build variable was later renamed in commit
9fca6cff to CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API).

The include order used for cygwin 1.7 includes the "win32.h" header
before "../git-compat-util.h". This order was problematic on cygwin
1.5, since it lead to the WIN32 symbol being defined along with the
inclusion of some WIN32 API headers (e.g. ) which cause
compilation errors.

The header include order problem on cygwin 1.5 has since been fixed
(see commit "mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE"),
so we can now remove the conditional compilation along with the
associated CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API build variable.

Make core.sharedRepository work under cygwin 1.7

2013-03-25T21:57:33+00:00

When core.sharedRepository is used, set_shared_perm() in path.c
needs lstat() to return the correct POSIX permissions.

The default for cygwin is core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks = false, which
means that the fast implementation in do_stat() is used instead of
lstat().

lstat() under cygwin uses the Windows security model to implement
POSIX-like permissions.  The user, group or everyone bits can be set
individually.

do_stat() simplifes the file permission bits, and may return a wrong
value.  The read-only attribute of a file is used to calculate the
permissions, resulting in either rw-r--r-- or r--r--r--

One effect of the simplified do_stat() is that t1301 fails.

Add a function cygwin_get_st_mode_bits() which returns the POSIX
permissions.  When not compiling for cygwin, true_mode_bits() in
path.c is used.

Side note:

t1301 passes under cygwin 1.5.

The "user write" bit is synchronized with the "read only" attribute
of a file:

    $ chmod 444 x
    $ attrib x
    A    R     C:\temp\pt\x

    cygwin 1.7 would show
    A          C:\temp\pt\x

USE CGYWIN_V15_WIN32API as macro to select api for cygwin

2012-11-19T04:02:40+00:00

The previous macro was confusing to some, and did not include "cygwin" in
its name. The updated name more clearly expresses a choice of the
win32api implementation that shipped with version 1.5 of cygwin.

Update cygwin.c for new mingw-64 win32 api headers

2012-11-12T20:47:50+00:00

The cygwin project recently switched to a new implementation of the
windows api, now using header files from the mingw-64 project. These
new header files are incompatible with the way cygwin.c included the
old headers: cygwin.c can be compiled using the new or the older (mingw)
headers, but different files must be included in different order for each
to work. The new headers are in use only for the current release series
(based upon the v1.7.x dll version). The previous release series using
the v1.5 dll is kept available but unmaintained for use on older versions
of Windows. So, patch cygwin.c to use the new include ordering only if
the dll version is 1.7 or higher.

cygwin: trust executable bit by default

2011-06-20T20:09:04+00:00

Earlier 7974843 (compat/cygwin.c: make runtime detection of lstat/stat
lessor impact, 2008-10-23) fixed the low-level "do we use cygwin specific
hacks for stat/lstat?" logic not to call into git_default_config() from
random codepaths that are typically very late in the program, to prevent
the call from potentially overwriting other variables that are initialized
from the configuration.

However, it forgot that on Cygwin, trust-executable-bit should default to
true.

Noticed by J6t, confirmed by Ramsay Jones, and the brown paper bag is on
Gitster's head.

t1301-*.sh: Fix the 'forced modes' test on cygwin

2011-06-16T22:10:54+00:00

The 'forced modes' test fails on cygwin because the post-update
hook loses it's executable bit when copied from the templates
directory by git-init. The template loses it's executable bit
because the lstat() function resolves to the "native Win32 API"
implementation.

This call to lstat() happens after git-init has set the "git_dir"
(so has_git_dir() returns true), but before the configuration has
been fully initialised. At this point git_config() does not find
any config files to parse and returns 0. Unfortunately, the code
used to determine the cygwin l/stat() function bindings did not
check the return from git_config() and assumed that the config
was complete and accessible once "git_dir" was set.

In order to fix the test, we simply change the binding code to
test the return value from git_config(), to ensure that it actually
had config values to read, before determining the requested binding.
