On Windows, there are "UNC paths" to access network (AKA shared)
folders, of the form \\server\sharename\directory. This provides a
convenient way for Windows developers to share their Git repositories
without having to have a dedicated server.

Git for Windows v2.11.0 introduced a regression where pushing to said
UNC paths no longer works, although fetching and cloning still does, as
reported here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/979

This regression was fixed in 7814fbe3f1 (normalize_path_copy(): fix
pushing to //server/share/dir on Windows, 2016-12-14).

Let's make sure that it does not regress again, by introducing a test
that uses so-called "administrative shares": disk volumes are
automatically shared under certain circumstances, e.g.  the C: drive is
shared as \\localhost\c$. The test needs to be skipped if the current
directory is inaccessible via said administrative share, of course.

Fix for NDEBUG builds.

* jt/mailinfo-fold-in-body-headers:
  mailinfo.c: move side-effects outside of assert

"git index-pack --stdin" needs an access to an existing repository,
but "git index-pack file.pack" to generate an .idx file that
corresponds to a packfile does not.

* jk/index-pack-wo-repo-from-stdin:
  index-pack: skip collision check when not in repository
  t: use nongit() function where applicable
  index-pack: complain when --stdin is used outside of a repo
  t5000: extract nongit function to test-lib-functions.sh

The function usage_msg_opt() has been updated to say "fatal:"
before the custom message programs give, when they want to die
with a message about wrong command line options followed by the
standard usage string.

* jk/parseopt-usage-msg-opt:
  parse-options: print "fatal:" before usage_msg_opt()

A recent update to receive-pack to make it easier to drop garbage
objects made it clear that GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES cannot
have a pathname with a colon in it (no surprise!), and this in turn
made it impossible to push into a repository at such a path.  This
has been fixed by introducing a quoting mechanism used when
appending such a path to the colon-separated list.

* jk/quote-env-path-list-component:
  t5615-alternate-env: double-quotes in file names do not work on Windows
  t5547-push-quarantine: run the path separator test on Windows, too
  tmp-objdir: quote paths we add to alternates
  alternates: accept double-quoted paths

"git clone --reference $there --recurse-submodules $super" has been
taught to guess repositories usable as references for submodules of
$super that are embedded in $there while making a clone of the
superproject borrow objects from $there; extend the mechanism to
also allow submodules of these submodules to borrow repositories
embedded in these clones of the submodules embedded in the clone of
the superproject.

* vs/submodule-clone-nested-submodules-alternates:
  submodule--helper: set alternateLocation for cloned submodules

Code cleanup in shallow boundary computation.

* nd/shallow-fixup:
  shallow.c: remove useless code
  shallow.c: bit manipulation tweaks
  shallow.c: avoid theoretical pointer wrap-around
  shallow.c: make paint_alloc slightly more robust
  shallow.c: stop abusing COMMIT_SLAB_SIZE for paint_info's memory pools
  shallow.c: rename fields in paint_info to better express their purposes

Unlike "git am --abort", "git cherry-pick --abort" moved HEAD back
to where cherry-pick started while picking multiple changes, when
the cherry-pick stopped to ask for help from the user, and the user
did "git reset --hard" to a different commit in order to re-attempt
the operation.

* sb/sequencer-abort-safety:
  Revert "sequencer: remove useless get_dir() function"
  sequencer: remove useless get_dir() function
  sequencer: make sequencer abort safer
  t3510: test that cherry-pick --abort does not unsafely change HEAD
  am: change safe_to_abort()'s not rewinding error into a warning
  am: fix filename in safe_to_abort() error message
