Git's source code refers to timestamps as unsigned longs. On 32-bit
platforms, as well as on Windows, unsigned long is not large enough
to capture dates that are "absurdly far in the future".
While we can fix this issue properly by replacing unsigned long with
a larger type, we want to be a bit more conservative and just skip
those tests on the maint track.

Change typedef each_ref_fn to take a "const struct object_id *oid"
parameter instead of "const unsigned char *sha1".
To aid this transition, implement an adapter that can be used to wrap
old-style functions matching the old typedef, which is now called
"each_ref_sha1_fn"), and make such functions callable via the new
interface. This requires the old function and its cb_data to be
wrapped in a "struct each_ref_fn_sha1_adapter", and that object to be
used as the cb_data for an adapter function, each_ref_fn_adapter().
This is an enormous diff, but most of it consists of simple,
mechanical changes to the sites that call any of the "for_each_ref"
family of functions. Subsequent to this change, the call sites can be
rewritten one by one to use the new interface.

When stripping a suffix like:

buf = xmemdupz(str, strlen(str) - 3);
we can instead use strip_suffix to avoid the constant 3,
which must match the literal "foo" (we sometimes use
strlen("foo") instead, but that means we are repeating
ourselves). The example above becomes:
if (strip_suffix(str, "foo", &len))
buf = xmemdupz(str, len);
This also saves a strlen(), since we calculate the string
length when detecting the suffix.
Note that in some cases we also switch from xstrndup to
xmemdupz, which saves a further strlen call.

These two are almost the same function, with the exception
that has_extension only matches if there is content before
the suffix. So ends_with(".exe", ".exe") is true, but
has_extension would not be.
This distinction does not matter to any of the callers,
though, and we can just replace uses of has_extension with
ends_with. We prefer the "ends_with" name because it is more
generic, and there is nothing about the function that
requires it to be used for file extensions.

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with strlen, like:

foo += strlen("bar");
This avoids magic numbers, but means we have to repeat the

typo in one of the strings).
We can use skip_prefix to handle this case without repeating
ourselves.

It's a common idiom to match a prefix and then skip past it
with a magic number, like:
if (starts_with(foo, "bar"))
foo += 3;
This is easy to get wrong, since you have to count the
prefix string yourself, and there's no compiler check if the
string changes. We can use skip_prefix to avoid the magic
numbers here.
Note that some of these conversions could be much shorter.
For example:
if (starts_with(arg, "--foo=")) {
bar = arg + 6;
continue;
}
could become:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &bar))
continue;
However, I have left it as:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
bar = v;
continue;
}
to visually match nearby cases which need to actually
process the string. Like:
if (skip_prefix(arg, "--foo=", &v)) {
bar = atoi(v);
continue;
}

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.

reference handling API, remove the Win32 l/stat() implementation.

Throughout git, it is assumed that the WIN32 preprocessor symbol is
defined on native Windows setups (mingw and msvc) and not on Cygwin.
On Cygwin, most of the time git can pretend this is just another Unix
machine, and Windows-specific magic is generally counterproductive.
Unfortunately Cygwin *does* define the WIN32 symbol in some headers.
Best to rely on a new git-specific symbol GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE instead,
defined as follows:
#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)
# define GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE
#endif
After this change, it should be possible to drop the
CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API setting without any negative effect.

"git help --all" uses the full terminal width. Run the check before we

Test t7606-merge-custom.sh fails on cygwin when git-merge fails
with an "Could not find merge strategy 'theirs'" error, despite
the test correctly preparing an (executable) git-merge-theirs
script.
The cause of the failure is the mis-detection of the executable
status of the script, by the is_executable() function, while the
load_command_list() function is searching the path for additional
merge strategy programs.
Note that the l/stat() "functions" on cygwin are somewhat
schizophrenic (see commits adbc0b6, 7faee6b and 7974843), and
their behaviour depends on the timing of various git setup and
config function calls. In particular, until the "git_dir" has
been set (have_git_dir() returns true), the real cygwin (POSIX
emulating) l/stat() functions are called. Once "git_dir" has
been set, the "native Win32 API" implementations of l/stat()
may, or may not, be called depending on the setting of the
core.filemode and core.ignorecygwinfstricks config variables.
We also note that, since commit c869753, core.filemode is forced
to false, even on NTFS, by git-init and git-clone. A user (or a
test) can, of course, reset core.filemode to true explicitly if
the filesystem supports it (and he doesn't use any problematic
windows software). The test-suite currently runs all tests on
cygwin with core.filemode set to false.
Given the above, we see that the built-in merge strategies are
correctly detected as executable, since they are checked for
before "git_dir" is set, whereas all custom merge strategies are
not, since they are checked for after "git_dir" is set.
In order to fix the mis-detection problem, we change the code in
is_executable() to re-use the conditional WIN32 code section,
which actually looks at the content of the file to determine if
the file is executable. On cygwin we also make the additional
code conditional on the executable bit of the file mode returned
by the initial stat() call. (only the real cygwin function would
set the executable bit in the file mode.)
