The function `midx_preferred_pack()` returns the preferred pack for a
given multi-pack index. To compute the preferred pack we:

  1. Take the first position indexed by the MIDX in pseudo-pack order.

  2. Convert this pseudo-pack position into the MIDX position.

  3. We then look up the pack that corresponds to this MIDX position.

This reliably returns the preferred pack given that all of its contained
objects will be up front in pseudo-pack order.

The second step that turns the pseudo-pack order into MIDX order
requires the reverse index though, which may not exist for example when
the MIDX does not have a bitmap. And in that case one may easily hit a
bug:

    BUG: ../pack-revindex.c:491: pack_pos_to_midx: reverse index not yet loaded

In theory, `midx_preferred_pack()` already knows to handle the case
where no reverse index exists, as it calls `load_midx_revindex()` before
calling into `midx_preferred_pack()`. But we only check for negative
return values there, even though the function returns a positive error
code in case the reverse index does not exist.

Fix the issue by testing for a non-zero return value instead, same as
all the other callers of this function already do. While at it, document
the return value of `load_midx_revindex()`.

In `write_midx_internal()` we know to skip writing the new multi-pack
index in case it would be the same as the existing one. This logic does
not handle the `--stdin-packs` option yet though, so we end up always
rewriting the MIDX if that option is passed to us.

Extract the logic to decide whether or not to rewrite the MIDX into a
separate function. This will allow us to extend that feature in the next
commit to address the above issue.

In `write_midx_internal()` we know to skip rewriting the multi-pack
index in case the existing one already covers all packs. This logic does
not know to handle `git multi-pack-index write --stdin-packs` though, so
we end up always rewriting the MIDX in this case even if the MIDX would
not change.

With our default maintenance strategy this isn't really much of a
problem, as git-gc(1) does not use the "--stdin-packs" option. But that
is changing with geometric repacking, where "--stdin-packs" is used to
explicitly select the packfiles part of the geometric sequence.

This issue can be demonstrated trivially with a benchmark in the Git
repository: executing `git repack --geometric=2 --write-midx -d` in the
Git repository takes more than 3 seconds only to end up with the same
multi-pack index as we already had before.

The logic that decides if we need to rewrite the MIDX only checks
whether the number of packfiles covered will change. That check is of
course too lenient for "--stdin-packs", as it could happen that we want
to cover a different-but-same-size set of packfiles. But there is no
inherent reason why we cannot handle "--stdin-packs".

Improve the logic to not only check for the number of packs, but to also
verify that we are asked to generate a MIDX for the _same_ packs. This
allows us to also skip no-op rewrites for "--stdin-packs".

Ever since fe53bbc (Git.pm: Always set Repository to absolute path
if autodetecting, 2009-05-07), the t9700 test _must_ fail on Windows
because of that age-old Unix paths vs Windows paths problem.

The underlying root cause is that Git cannot run with a regular Win32
variant of Perl, the assumption that every path is a Unix path is just
too strong in Git's Perl code.

As a consequence, Git for Windows is basically stuck with using the
MSYS2 variant of Perl which uses a POSIX emulation layer (which is a
friendly fork of Cygwin) _and_ a best-effort Unix <-> Windows paths
conversion whenever crossing the boundary between MSYS2 and regular
Win32 processes. It is best effort only, though, using heuristics to
automagically convert correctly in most cases, but not in all cases.

In the context of this here patch, this means that asking `git.exe` for
the absolute path of the `.git/` directory will return a Win32 path
because `git.exe` is a regular Win32 executable that has no idea about
Unix-ish paths. But above-mentioned commit introduced a test that wants
to verify that this path is identical to the one that the Git Perl
module reports (which refuses to use Win32 paths and uses Unix-ish paths
instead). Obviously, this must fail because no heuristics can kick in at
that layer.

This test failure has not even been caught when Git introduced Windows
support in its CI definition in 2e90484 (ci: add a Windows job to
the Azure Pipelines definition, 2019-01-29), as all tests relying on
Perl had to be disabled even from the start (because the CI runs would
otherwise have resulted in prohibitively long runtimes, not because
Windows is super slow per se, but because Git's test suite keeps
insisting on using technology that requires a POSIX emulation layer,
which _is_ super slow on Windows).

To work around this failure, let's use the `cygpath` utility to convert
the absolute `gitdir` path into the form that the Perl code expects.

When 0482c32 (apply: ignore working tree filemode when
!core.filemode, 2023-12-26) fixed `git apply` to stop warning about
executable files, it inadvertently changed the code flow also for
symbolic links and directories.

Let's narrow the scope of the special `!trust_executable_git` code path
to apply only to regular files.

This is needed to let t4115.5(symlink escape when creating new files)

The `_wopen()` function would gladly follow a symbolic link to a
non-existent file and create it when given above-mentioned flags.

Git expects the `open()` call to fail, though. So let's add yet another
work-around to pretend that Windows behaves according to POSIX, see:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904875/functions/open.html#:~:text=If%20O_CREAT%20and%20O_EXCL%20are,set%2C%20the%20result%20is%20undefined.

The test case 're-init to move gitdir symlink' wants to compare the
contents of `newdir/.git`, which is a symbolic link pointing to a file.
However, `git diff --no-index`, which is used by `test_cmp` on Windows,
does not resolve symlinks; It shows the symlink _target_ instead (with a
file mode of 120000). That is totally unexpected by the test case, which
as a consequence fails, meaning that it's a bug in the test case itself.

Just like 0fdcfa2 (t0301: fixes for windows compatibility,
2021-09-14) explained, we should not call `mkdir -m<mode>` in the test
suite because that would fail on Windows.

There was one forgotten instance of this which was hidden by a `SYMLINK`
prerequisite. Currently, this prevents this test case from being
executed on Windows, but with the upcoming support for symbolic links,
it would become a problem.

The 'symref transaction supports symlinks' test case is guarded by the
`SYMLINK` prerequisite because `core.prefersymlinkrefs = true` requires
symbolic links to be supported.

However, the `preferSymlinkRefs` feature is not supported on Windows,
therefore this test case needs the `MINGW` prerequisite, too.

There's a couple more cases where we set this config key:

  - In a subsequent test in t0600, but there we explicitly set it to
    "false". So this would naturally be supported by Windows.

  - In t7201 we set the value to `yes`, but we never verify that the
    written reference is a symbolic link in the first place. I guess
    that we could rather remove setting the configuration value here, as
    we are about to deprecate support for symrefs via symbolic links in
    the first place. But that's certainly outside of the scope of this
    patch.

  - In t9903 we do the same, but likewise, we don't check whether the
    written file is a symbolic link.

Therefore this seems to be the only instance where the tests actually
need to be adapted.

The MSYS2 runtime (which inherits this trait from the Cygwin runtime,
and which is used by Git for Windows' Bash to emulate POSIX
functionality on Windows, the same Bash that is also used to run Git's
test suite on Windows) has a mode where it can create native symbolic
links on Windows.

Naturally, this is a bit of a strange feature, given that Cygwin goes
out of its way to support Unix-like paths even if no Win32 program
understands those, and the symbolic links have to use Win32 paths
instead (which Win32 programs understand very well).

As a consequence, the symbolic link targets get normalized before the
links are created.

This results in certain quirks that Git's test suite is ill equipped to
accommodate (because Git's test suite expects to be able to use
Unix-like paths even on Windows).

The test script t1006-cat-file.sh contains two prime examples, two test
cases that need to skip a couple assertions because they are simply
wrong in the context of Git for Windows.

In Git for Windows, the gitdir is canonicalized so that even when the
gitdir is specified via a symbolic link, the `gitdir:` conditional
include will only match the real directory path.

Unfortunately, t1305 codifies a different behavior in two test cases,
which are hereby skipped on Windows.

The device `/dev/null` does not exist on Windows, it's called `NUL`
there. Calling `ln -s /dev/null my-symlink` in a symlink-enabled MSYS2
Bash will therefore literally link to a file or directory called `null`
that is supposed to be in the current drive's top-level `dev` directory.
Which typically does not exist.

The test, however, really wants the created symbolic link to point to
the NUL device. Let's instead use the `mklink` utility on Windows to
perform that job, and keep using `ln -s /dev/null <target>` on
non-Windows platforms.

While at it, add the missing `SYMLINKS` prereq because this test _still_
would not pass on Windows before support for symbolic links is
upstreamed from Git for Windows.

Git's test suite's relies on Unix shell scripting, which is
understandable, of course, given Git's firm roots (and indeed, ongoing
focus) on Linux.

This fact, combined with Unix shell scripting's natural
habitat -- which is, naturally... *drumroll*... Unix --
often has unintended side effects, where developers expect the test
suite to run in a Unix environment, which is an incorrect assumption.

One instance of this problem can be observed in the 'difftool --dir-diff
handles modified symlinks' test case in `t7800-difftool.sh`, which
assumes that all absolute paths start with a forward slash. That
assumption is incorrect in general, e.g. on Windows, where absolute
paths have many shapes and forms, none of which starts with a forward
slash.

The only saving grace is that this test case is currently not run on
Windows because of the `SYMLINK` prerequisite. However, I am currently
working towards upstreaming symbolic link support from Git for Windows
to upstream Git, which will put a crack into that saving grace.

Let's change that test case so that it does not rely on absolute paths
(which are passed to the "external command" `ls` as parameters and are
therefore part of its output, and which the test case wants to filter
out before verifying that the output is as expected) starting with a
forward slash. Let's instead rely on the much more reliable fact that
`ls` will output the path in a line that ends in a colon, and simply
filter out those lines by matching said colon instead.

When various *object_info() functions are given an extended object
info structure as NULL by a caller that does not want any details,
the code uses a file-scope static blank_oi and passes it down to
the helper functions they use, to avoid handling NULL specifically.

The ps/object-read-stream topic graduated to 'master' recently
however had a bug that assumed that two identically named file-scope
static variables in two functions are the same, which of course is
not the case.  This made "git commit" take 0.38 seconds to 1508
seconds in some case, as reported by Aaron Plattner here:

  https://lore.kernel.org/git/f4ba7e89-4717-4b36-921f-56537131fd69@nvidia.com/

We _could_ move the blank_oi variable to the global scope in common
section to fix this regression, but explicitly handling the NULL is
a much safer fix.  It would also reduce the chance of errors that
somebody accidentally writes into blank_oi, making its contents
dirty, which potentially will make subsequent calls into the
function misbehave.  By explicitly handling NULL input, we no longer
have to worry about it.

We check in t5551 that curl updates the expected list of cookies after
making a request. We do this by telling it to read and write cookies
from a particular text file, and then checking that after curl runs, the
file has the expected content.

However, in the upcoming curl 8.18.0, the output file has changed
slightly: curl will canonicalize the paths it writes, due to commit
a093c93994 (cookie: only keep and use the canonical cleaned up path,
2025-12-07). In particular, it strips trailing slashes from the paths we
see in the cookies.txt file.

This doesn't matter to Git, as the cookie handling is all internal to
curl. But our test is overly brittle and breaks as a result.

We can fix it by matching either format. We'll expect the new format
(without trailing slashes) and strip the slashes from curl's output
before comparing. That lets us pass with both old and new versions (I
tested against curl's 8_17_0 and rc-8_18_0-2 tags, which are
respectively before and after the curl change).

In theory it might be nice to try to future-proof this test more by
looking only for the bits we care about, rather than a byte-wise
comparison of the whole file. But after removing comments and blank
lines (which we already do), we care about most of what's there. So it's
not clear to me what a more liberal test would look like. Given that the
format doesn't change all that often, it's probably OK to stop here and
see if it ever breaks again.

In t5563, we test how various oddly-formatted WWW-Authenticate headers
are passed through curl to git's credential subsystem (and ultimately
out to credential helpers). One test, "access using basic auth with
wwwauth header mixed line-endings" does something odd. It does not mix
line endings at all (which must be CRLF according to the RFC anyway),
but omits the line ending entirely for the final header!

This means that the server produces an incomplete response. We send our
final header, and then the newline which is meant to mark the end of
headers (and the start of the body) becomes the line ending for that
header. And there is no header/body separator in the output at all.

Looking at strace, this is what the client reads:

  recvfrom(9, "WWW-Authenticate: FooBar param1=\"value1\"\r\n \r\n\tparam2=\"value2\"\r\nWWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=\"example.com\"", 16384, 0, NULL, NULL) = 106
  recvfrom(9, "\n", 16384, 0, NULL, NULL) = 1
  recvfrom(9, "", 16384, 0, NULL, NULL) = 0

The headers themselves are produced from the custom-auth.challenge file
we write in the test (which is missing the final CRLF), and then the
header/body separator comes from our lib-httpd/nph-custom-auth.sh CGI.
(Ignore for a moment that it is producing a bare newline, which I think
is a bug; it should be a CRLF but curl is happy with either).

Older versions of curl seemed to be OK with the truncated output, but
the upcoming 8.18.0 release seems to get confused. Specifically, since
67ae101666 (http: unfold response headers earlier, 2025-12-12) our
request to the server fails with insufficient credentials. I traced far
enough to see that curl does relay the header back to us, which we then
pass to a credential helper, which gives us the correct
username/password combination. But on our followup request, curl refuses
to send the Authorization header (and so gets an HTTP 401 again).

The change in curl's behavior is a bit unexpected, but since we are
sending it garbage, it is hard to complain too much. Let's add the
missing CRLF to the header. I _think_ this was just an oversight and not
the intent of the test. And that the "mixed line-endings" really meant
"mixed continuations", since we differ from the previous test in
continuing with both space and tab. So I've likewise updated the test
title to match that assumption.

From e509b5b (rust: support for Windows, 2025-10-15), we check
cargo's information to decide which library to build. However, that
check mistakenly used "sed -s" ("consider files as separate rather than
as a single, continuous long stream"), which is a GNU extension. The
build thus fails on macOS with "meson -Drust=enabled", which comes with
BSD-derived sed.

Instead, use the intended "sed -n" and print the matching section of the
output. This failure mode likely went unnoticed on systems with GNU sed
(common for developer machines and CI) because, in those instances, the
output being matched by case is the full cargo output (which either
