Remove support for using version 1 of the PCRE library. Its use has
been discouraged by upstream for a long time, and it's in a
bugfix-only state.
Anyone who was relying on v1 in particular got a nudge to move to v2
in e6c531b808 (Makefile: make USE_LIBPCRE=YesPlease mean v2, not v1,
2018-03-11), which was first released as part of v2.18.0.
With this the LIBPCRE2 test prerequisites is redundant to PCRE. But
I'm keeping it for self-documentation purposes, and to avoid conflict
with other in-flight PCRE patches.
I'm also not changing all of our own "pcre2" names to "pcre", i.e. the
inverse of 6d4b5747f0 (grep: change internal *pcre* variable &
function names to be *pcre1*, 2017-05-25). I don't see the point, and
it makes the history/blame harder to read. Maybe if there's ever a
PCRE v3...

In 0a21d0e089 (Makefile: mark git-maintenance as a builtin,
2020-12-01), we marked git-maintenance as a builtin in the Makefile, but
forgot to do the same in `CMakeLists.txt`.
Rather than always play catch-up and adjust `git_builtin_extra`
manually, use the `BUILT_INS` definitions in the Makefile as
authoritative source and generate `git_builtin_extra` dynamically.

It is a lot more convenient to use than having to specify the
configuration in CMake manually (does not matter whether using the
command-line or CMake's GUI).
While at it, recommend using `contrib/buildsystems/out/` as build
directory also in the part that talks about running CMake manually.

The idea of having CMake support in Git's source tree is to enable
contributors on Windows to start contributing with little effort. To
that end, we just added some sensible defaults that will let users open
the worktree in Visual Studio and start building.
This expects the dependencies (such as zlib) to be available already,
though. If they are not available, we expect the user to run
`compat/vcbuild/vcpkg_install.bat`.
Rather than requiring this step to be manual, detect the situation and
run it as part of the CMake configuration step.
Note that this obviously only applies to the scenario when we want to
compile in Visual Studio (i.e. with MS Visual C), not with GCC.
Therefore, we guard this new code block behind the `MSVC` conditional.
This concludes our journey to make it as effortless as possible to start
developing Git in Visual Studio: all the developer needs to do is to
clone Git's repository, open the worktree via `File>Open>Folder...` and
wait for CMake to finish configuring.

The code in vcs-svn was started in 2010 as an attempt to build a
remote-helper for interacting with svn repositories (as opposed to
git-svn). However, we never got as far as shipping a mature remote
helper, and the last substantive commit was e99d012a6b in 2012.
We do have a git-remote-testsvn, and it is even installed as part of
"make install". But given the name, it seems unlikely to be used by
anybody (you'd have to explicitly "git clone testsvn::$url", and there
have been zero mentions of that on the mailing list since 2013, and even
that includes the phrase "you might need to hack a bit to get it working
properly"[1]).
We also ship contrib/svn-fe, which builds on the vcs-svn work. However,
it does not seem to build out of the box for me, as the link step misses
some required libraries for using libgit.a. Curiously, the original
build breakage bisects for me to eff80a9fd9 (Allow custom "comment
char", 2013-01-16), which seems unrelated. There was an attempt to fix
it in da011cb0e7 (contrib/svn-fe: fix Makefile, 2014-08-28), but on my
system that only switches the error message.
So it seems like the result is not really usable by anybody in practice.
It would be wonderful if somebody wanted to pick up the topic again, and
potentially it's worth carrying around for that reason. But the flip
side is that people doing tree-wide operations have to deal with this
code. And you can see the list with (replace "HEAD" with this commit as
appropriate):
{
echo "--"
git diff-tree --diff-filter=D -r --name-only HEAD^ HEAD
} |
git log --no-merges --oneline e99d012a6bc.. --stdin
which shows 58 times somebody had to deal with the code, generally due
to a compile or test failure, or a tree-wide style fix or API change.
Let's drop it and let anybody who wants to pick it up do so by
resurrecting it from the git history.
As a bonus, this also reduces the size of a stripped installation of Git
from 21MB to 19MB.

There's no real reason for credential helpers to be separate binaries. I
did them this way originally under the notion that helper don't _need_
to be part of Git, and so can be built totally separately (and indeed,
the ones in contrib/credential are). But the ones in our main Makefile
build on libgit.a, and the resulting binaries are reasonably large.
We can slim down our total disk footprint by just making them builtins.
This reduces the size of:
make strip install
from 29MB to 24MB on my Debian system.
Note that credential-cache can't operate without support for Unix
sockets. Currently we just don't build it at all when NO_UNIX_SOCKETS is
set. We could continue that with conditionals in the Makefile and our
list of builtins. But instead, let's build a dummy implementation that
dies with an informative message. That has two advantages:
- it's simpler, because the conditional bits are all kept inside
the credential-cache source
- a user who is expecting it to exist will be told _why_ they can't
use it, rather than getting the "credential-cache is not a git
command" error which makes it look like the Git install is broken.
Note that our dummy implementation does still respond to "-h" in order
to appease t0012 (and this may be a little friendlier for users, as
well).

This patch adds support for Visual Studio and Clang builds
The minimum required version of CMake is upgraded to 3.15 because
this version offers proper support for Clang builds on Windows.
Libintl is not searched for when building with Visual Studio or Clang
because there is no binary compatible version available yet.
NOTE: In the link options invalidcontinue.obj has to be included.
The reason for this is because by default, Windows calls abort()'s
instead of setting errno=EINVAL when invalid arguments are passed to
standard functions.
This commit explains it in detail:
4b623d80f7
On Windows the default generator is Visual Studio,so for Visual Studio
builds do this:
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir`
NOTE: Visual Studio generator is a multi config generator, which means
that Debug and Release builds can be done on the same build directory.
For Clang builds do this:
On bash
CC=clang cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release]
On cmd
set CC=Clang
cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja

This patch provides an alternate way to test git using ctest.
CTest ships with CMake, so there is no additional dependency being
introduced.
To perform the tests with ctest do this after building:
ctest -j[number of jobs]
NOTE: -j is optional, the default number of jobs is 1
Each of the jobs does this:
cd t/ && sh t[something].sh
The reason for using CTest is that it logs the output of the tests
in a neat way, which can be helpful during diagnosis of failures.
After the tests have run ctest generates three log files located in
`build-directory`/Testing/Temporary/
These log files are:
CTestCostData.txt:
This file contains the time taken to complete each test.
LastTestsFailed.log:
This log file contains the names of the tests that have failed in the
run.
LastTest.log:
This log file contains the log of all the tests that have run.
A snippet of the file is given below.
10/901 Testing: D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh
10/901 Test: D:/my/git-master/t/t0009-prio-queue.sh

At the moment, the recommended way to configure Git's builds is to
simply run `make`. If that does not work, the recommended strategy is to
look at the top of the `Makefile` to see whether any "Makefile knob" has
to be turned on/off, e.g. `make NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease`.
Alternatively, Git also has an `autoconf` setup which allows configuring
builds via `./configure [<option>...]`.
Both of these options are fine if the developer works on Unix or Linux.
But on Windows, we have to jump through hoops to configure a build
(read: we force the user to install a full Git for Windows SDK, which
occupies around two gigabytes (!) on disk and downloads about three
quarters of a gigabyte worth of Git objects).
The build infrastructure for Git is written around being able to run
make, which is not supported natively on Windows.
To help Windows developers a CMake build script is introduced here.
With a working support CMake, developers on Windows need only install
CMake, configure their build, load the generated Visual Studio solution
and immediately start modifying the code and build their own version of
Git. Likewise, developers on other platforms can use the convenient GUI
tools provided by CMake to configure their build.
So let's start building CMake support for Git.
This is only the first step, and to make it easier to review, it only
allows for configuring builds on the platform that is easiest to
configure for: Linux.
The CMake script checks whether the headers are present(eg. libgen.h),
whether the functions are present(eg. memmem), whether the funtions work
properly (eg. snprintf) and generate the required compile definitions
for the platform. The script also searches for the required libraries,
if it fails to find the required libraries the respective executables
won't be built.(eg. If libcurl is not found then git-remote-http won't
be built). This will help building Git easier.
With a CMake script an out of source build of git is possible resulting
in a clean source tree.
Note: this patch asks for the minimum version v3.14 of CMake (which is
not all that old as of time of writing) because that is the first
version to offer a platform-independent way to generate hardlinks as
part of the build. This is needed to generate all those hardlinks for
the built-in commands of Git.
