A new linter test has been added to Documentation/lint-manpages.sh
to ensure that all non-command manual pages (guides and developer
interfaces) listed in Documentation/Makefile are present in
command-list.txt, replacing an older comment that reminded
developers to keep them in sync.

The consistency checks for the object database (fsck) have been
decoupled from the generic builtin implementation and moved into the
backend-specific object source layers, making them pluggable for
different object storage formats.

The object lookup machinery has been taught to gracefully recover
when a multi-pack-index points to an owning pack that was removed
during a concurrent geometric repack, and 'git replay' has been
fixed to not segfault when reading such missing objects.
* en/midx-missing-pack-fallback:

Git for Windows wants to add `git.exe` to the users' `PATH`, without
cluttering the latter with unnecessary executables such as `wish.exe`.
To that end, it invented the concept of its "Git wrapper", i.e. a tiny
executable located in `C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe` (originally a
CMD script) whose sole purpose is to set up a couple of environment
variables and then spawn the _actual_ `git.exe` (which nowadays lives in
`C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe` for 64-bit, and the obvious
equivalent for 32-bit installations).
Currently, the following environment variables are set unless already
initialized:
- `MSYSTEM`, to make sure that the MSYS2 Bash and the MSYS2 Perl
interpreter behave as expected, and
- `PLINK_PROTOCOL`, to force PuTTY's `plink.exe` to use the SSH
protocol instead of Telnet,
- `PATH`, to make sure that the `bin` folder in the user's home
directory, as well as the `/mingw64/bin` and the `/usr/bin`
directories are included. The trick here is that the `/mingw64/bin/`
and `/usr/bin/` directories are relative to the top-level installation
directory of Git for Windows (which the included Bash interprets as
`/`, i.e. as the MSYS pseudo root directory).
Using the absence of `MSYSTEM` as a tell-tale, we can detect in
`git.exe` whether these environment variables have been initialized
properly. Therefore we can call `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\git`
in-place after this change, without having to call Git through the Git
wrapper.
Obviously, above-mentioned directories must be _prepended_ to the `PATH`
variable, otherwise we risk picking up executables from unrelated Git
installations. We do that by constructing the new `PATH` value from
scratch, appending `$HOME/bin` (if `HOME` is set), then the MSYS2 system
directories, and then appending the original `PATH`.
Side note: this modification of the `PATH` variable is independent of
the modification necessary to reach the executables and scripts in
`/mingw64/libexec/git-core/`, i.e. the `GIT_EXEC_PATH`. That
modification is still performed by Git, elsewhere, long after making the
changes described above.
While we _still_ cannot simply hard-link `mingw64\bin\git.exe` to `cmd`
(because the former depends on a couple of `.dll` files that are only in
`mingw64\bin`, i.e. calling `...\cmd\git.exe` would fail to load due to
missing dependencies), at least we can now avoid that extra process of
running the Git wrapper (which then has to wait for the spawned
`git.exe` to finish) by calling `...\mingw64\bin\git.exe` directly, via
its absolute path.
Testing this is in Git's test suite tricky: we set up a "new" MSYS
pseudo-root and copy the `git.exe` file into the appropriate location,
then verify that `MSYSTEM` is set properly, and also that the `PATH` is
modified so that scripts can be found in `$HOME/bin`, `/mingw64/bin/`
and `/usr/bin/`.
This addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/2283
Note: This keeps the same, hard-coded MSYSTEM platform support for CMake
as before, and introduces an `msystem' and `mingw-prefix` knob for Meson
(read: neither CMake nor Meson will automatically inherit the setting
from the current build environment).

A change between versions 2.4.1 and 2.6.0 of the MSYS2 runtime modified
how Cygwin's runtime (and hence Git for Windows' MSYS2 runtime
derivative) handles locales: d16a56306d (Consolidate wctomb/mbtowc calls
for POSIX-1.2008, 2016-07-20).
An unintended side-effect is that "cold-calling" into the POSIX
emulation will start with a locale based on the current code page,
something that Git for Windows is very ill-prepared for, as it expects
to be able to pass a command-line containing non-ASCII characters to the
shell without having those characters munged.
One symptom of this behavior: when `git clone` or `git fetch` shell out
to call `git-upload-pack` with a path that contains non-ASCII
characters, the shell tried to interpret the entire command-line
(including command-line parameters) as executable path, which obviously
must fail.
This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1036

It is merely a historical wart that, say, `git-commit` exists in the
`libexec/git-core/` directory, a tribute to the original idea to let Git
be essentially a bunch of Unix shell scripts revolving around very few
"plumbing" (AKA low-level) commands.
Git has evolved a lot from there. These days, most of Git's
functionality is contained within the `git` executable, in the form of
"built-in" commands.
To accommodate for scripts that use the "dashed" form of Git commands,
even today, Git provides hard-links that make the `git` executable
available as, say, `git-commit`, just in case that an old script has not
been updated to invoke `git commit`.
Those hard-links do not come cheap: they take about half a minute for
every build of Git on Windows, they are mistaken for taking up huge
amounts of space by some Windows Explorer versions that do not
understand hard-links, and therefore many a "bug" report had to be
addressed.
The "dashed form" has been officially deprecated in Git version 1.5.4,
which was released on February 2nd, 2008, i.e. a very long time ago.
This deprecation was never finalized by skipping these hard-links, but
we can start the process now, in Git for Windows.

MSYS2 defines some helpful environment variables, e.g. `MSYSTEM`. There
is code in Git for Windows to ensure that that `MSYSTEM` variable is
set, hard-coding a default.
However, the existing solution jumps through hoops to reconstruct the
proper default, and is even incomplete doing so, as we found out when we
extended it to support CLANGARM64.
This is absolutely unnecessary because there is already a perfectly
valid `MSYSTEM` value we can use at build time. This is even true when
building the MINGW32 variant on a MINGW64 system because `makepkg-mingw`
will override the `MSYSTEM` value as per the `MINGW_ARCH` array.
The same is equally true for the `/mingw64`, `/mingw32` and
`/clangarm64` prefix: those values are already available via the
`MINGW_PREFIX` environment variable, and we just need to pass that
setting through.
Only when `MINGW_PREFIX` is not set (as is the case in Git for Windows'
minimal SDK, where only `MSYSTEM` is guaranteed to be set correctly), we
use as fall-back the top-level directory whose name is the down-cased
value of the `MSYSTEM` variable.
Incidentally, this also broadens the support to all the configurations
supported by the MSYS2 project, i.e. clang64 & ucrt64, too.

In bf2d5d8239e (Don't let ld strip relocations, 2016-01-16) (picked from
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/612/commits/6a237925bf10),
Git for Windows introduced the `-Wl,-pic-executable` flag, specifying
the exact entry point via `-e`. This required discerning between i686
and x86_64 code because the former required the symbol to be prefixed
with an underscore, the latter did not.
As per https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10865, the
specified symbols are already the default, though.
So let's drop the overly-specific definition.

This option was added in fa93bb20d72 (MinGW: Fix stat definitions to
work with MinGW runtime version 4.0, 2013-09-11), i.e. a _long_ time
ago. So long, in fact, that it still targeted MinGW. But we switched to
mingw-w64 in 2015, which seems not to share the problem, and therefore
does not require a fix.
Even worse: This flag is incompatible with UCRT64, which we are about to
support by way of upstreaming `mingw-w64-git` to the MSYS2 project, see
https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/pull/26470 for details.
So let's send that option into its well-deserved retirement.
