Merge branch 'rj/cygwin-clarify-use-of-cheating-lstat'

2013-08-02T18:01:01+00:00

Cygwin port added a "not quite correct but a lot faster and good
enough for many lstat() calls that are only used to see if the
working tree entity matches the index entry" lstat() emulation some
time ago, and it started biting us in places.  This removes it and
uses the standard lstat() that comes with Cygwin.

Recent topic that uses lstat on packed-refs file is broken when
this cheating lstat is used, and this is a simplest fix that is
also the cleanest direction to go in the long run.

Revert "compat/unsetenv.c: Fix a sparse warning"

2013-07-21T22:09:56+00:00

This reverts commit ec535cc27e6c4f5e0b1d157e04f5511f166ecd9d.

POSIX explicitly states "the [environ] variable, which
must be declared by the user if it is to be used directly".
Not declaring it causes compilation to fail on OS X.

Instead don't declare the variable on MinGW, as it causes
a spurious warning there.

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.

this is fine with Cygwin 1.7 ($gmane/225824) so let's try moving it
ahead.

Returning the SIGALRM handler for SIGINT is not very useful.
