When Cargo links binaries with MSVC, it uses the link.exe linker from
PATH to do so. However, when running under a shell from MSYS, such as
when building with the Git for Windows SDK, which we do in CI, the
/ming64/bin and /usr/bin entries are first in PATH. That means that the
Unix link binary shows up first, which obviously does not work for
linking binaries in any useful way.
To solve this problem, adjust PATH to place those binaries at the end of
the list instead of the beginning. This allows access to the normal
Unix tools, but link.exe will be the compiler's linker. Make sure to
export PATH explicitly: while this should be the default, it's more
robust to not rely on the shell operating in a certain way.
The reason this has not shown up before is that we typically link our
binaries from the C compiler. However, now that we're about to
introduce a Rust build script (build.rs file), Rust will end up linking
that script to further drive Cargo, in which case we'll invoke the
linker from it. There are other solutions, such as using LLD, but this
one is simple and reliable and is most likely to work with existing
systems.

can be linked into the binary appropriately. In addition, to avoid
managing memory manually and since we don't know the size of the hash

Right now, users can internally access the contents of the ObjectID
struct, which can lead to data that is not valid, such as invalid
algorithms or non-zero-padded hash values. These can cause problems
down the line as we use them more.
Add a constructor for ObjectID that allows us to set these values and
also provide an accessor for the algorithm so that we can access it. In
addition, provide useful Display and Debug implementations that can
format our data in a useful way.

In C, it's easy for us to look up a hash algorithm structure by its

the C structure from the offset and expose it in Rust.

This works very similarly to the existing one in C except that it
doesn't provide any functionality to hash an object. We don't currently
need that right now, but the use of those function pointers do make it
substantially more difficult to write a bit-for-bit identical structure
across the C/Rust interface, so omit them for now.
Instead of the more customary "&self", use "self", because the former is
the size of a pointer and the latter is the size of an integer on most
systems. Don't define an unknown value but use an Option for that
instead.

repository: require Rust support for interoperability
We'll be implementing some of our interoperability code, like the loose
object map, in Rust. While the code currently compiles with the old
loose object map format, which is written entirely in C, we'll soon
replace that with the Rust-based implementation.
Require the use of Rust for compatibility mode and die if it is not
supported. Because the repo argument is not used when Rust is missing,
cast it to void to silence the compiler warning, which we do not care
about.
Add a prerequisite in our tests, RUST, that checks if Rust functionality
is available and use it in the tests that handle interoperability.
This is technically a regression in functionality compared to our
existing state, but pack index v3 is not yet implemented and thus the
functionality is mostly quite broken, which is why we've recently marked
this functionality as experimental. We don't believe anyone is getting
useful use out of the interoperability code in its current state, so no
actual users should be negatively impacted by this change.

A message is printed (like ignored files) guiding the user to use the

The reason for the change is to support branch tracking in submodules
with configuration `submdule.<name>.branch` or similar workflows where the
user is not interested in tracking each update of the sha1 in the submdule.
You can additionally set `submodule.<name>.ignore=all` and the `git status`
will state nothing and, with this patch, the `git add` does not either - as
the default behaviour. This patch changes the workflow to a more logical
behaviour and similar to workflow for ignored files.
The patch gives more scenarios for submodules to be used effectively with
less friction similar to the "repo" tool. A submodule can be added for many
different reasons than a hard dependency. It can be added as loosely
coupled dependencies whereas the user wants the latest based on the
configuration `submoule.<name>.branch`, but are not interested to track
each commit in the `super-repo`. Currently it gives friction of handling
conflicts between branches even the sha1's are fast-forward and the user

git-gui: shift tabstops to account for the first column of patch text
When reviewing a change before staging, it is desirable to see text after
tabstops aligned the same way as in the text editor. However, since there
is always an additional character in column one in patch text ('+', '-',
or space), the alignment is broken if text before the first tab character
is just long enough to push the stop to the next tab position.
Commit a43c5f51a4b1 (git-gui: add configurable tab size to the diff view,
2012-02-12) added infrastructure that manipulates the tabstop positions
of the Tk text widget. However, it does so only when a 3-way diff is
shown and only so that it takes into account the one additional markup at
the beginning of lines. This only achieved that alignment does not get
worse for 3-way diffs compared to regular patch text, but left misaligned
text in regular patch text unmodified.
Use and modify this infrastructure to shift tabstops by one position for
regular patch text and two positions for 3-way diffs. Existing code
already resets the tabstops to an unshifted position when contents of
untracked files are displayed.

receive-pack: convert receive hooks to hook API
This converts the last remaining hooks to the new hook API, for

receive-pack: convert update hooks to new API
The hook API avoids creating a custom struct child_process and other
internal hook plumbing (e.g. calling find_hook()) and prepares for
the specification of hooks via configs or running parallel hooks.
Execution is still sequential through the run_hooks_opt .jobs == 1,
which is the unchanged default for all hooks.
When use_sideband==1, the async thread redirects the hook outputs to
sideband 2, otherwise it is not used and the hooks write directly to
the fds inherited from the main parent process.
When .jobs == 1, run-command's poll loop is avoided entirely via the
ungroup=1 option like before (this was Jeff's suggestion), achieving
the same real-time output performance.
When running in parallel, run-command with ungroup=0 will capture
and de-interleave the output of each hook, then write to the parent
stderr which is redirected via dup2 to the sideband thread, so that
each parallel hook output is presented clearly to the client.

run-command: poll child input in addition to output
Child input feeding might hit the 100ms output poll timeout as a
side-effect of the ungroup=0 design when feeding multiple children
in parallel and buffering their outputs.
This throttles the write throughput as reported by Kristoffer.
Peff also noted that the parent might block if the write pipe is full
and cause a deadlock if both parent + child wait for one another.
Thus we refactor the run-command I/O loop so it polls on both child
input and output fds to eliminate the risk of artificial 100ms
latencies and unnecessarily blocking the main process.
This ensures that parallel hooks are fed data ASAP while maintaining
responsiveness for (sideband) output.
It's worth noting that in our current design, sequential execution
is not affected by this because it still uses the ungroup=1 behavior,
so there are no run-command induced buffering delays since the child
sequentially outputs directly to the parent-inherited fds.

hook: add jobs option
Allow the API callers to specify the number of jobs across which
hook execution can be parallelized. It defaults to 1 and no hook
currently changes it, so all hooks run sequentially as before.
This allows us to both pave the way for parallel hook execution
(that will be a follow-up patch series building upon this) and to
finish the API conversion of builtin/receive-pack.c, keeping the
output async sideband thread ("muxer") design as Peff suggested.
When .jobs==1 nothing changes, the "copy_to_sideband" async thread
still outputs directly via sideband channel 2, keeping the current
(mostly) real-time output characteristics, avoids unnecessary poll
delays or deadlock risks.
When .jobs > 1, a more complex muxer is needed to buffer the hook
output and avoid interleaving. After working on this mux I quickly
realized I was re-implementing run-command with ungroup=0 so that
idea was dropped in favor of run-command which outputs to stderr.
In other words, run-command itself already can buffer/deinterleave
pp child outputs (ungroup=0), so we can just connect its stderr to
the sideband async task when jobs > 1.
Maybe it helps to illustrate how it works with ascii graphics:

Generally this is solved by repeatedly writing to child_process.in
between calls to start_command() and finish_command(). For a specific

This adds a generic callback API to run_processes_parallel() to do
