Rather than using private IFTTT Applets that send mails to this
maintainer whenever a new version of a Git for Windows component was
released, let's use the power of GitHub workflows to make this process
publicly visible.
This workflow monitors the Atom/RSS feeds, and opens a ticket whenever a
new version was released.
Note: Bash sometimes releases multiple patched versions within a few
minutes of each other (i.e. 5.1p1 through 5.1p4, 5.0p15 and 5.0p16). The
MSYS2 runtime also has a similar system. We can address those patches as
a group, so we shouldn't get multiple issues about them.
Note further: We're not acting on newlib releases, OpenSSL alphas, Perl
release candidates or non-stable Perl releases. There's no need to open
issues about them.

Git for Windows accepts pull requests; Core Git does not. Therefore we
need to adjust the template (because it only matches core Git's
project management style, not ours).
Also: direct Git for Windows enhancements to their contributions page,
space out the text for easy reading, and clarify that the mailing list
is plain text, not HTML.

This simplifies the workflow dramatically, as well as accelerating it
because the Action recently learned to use the partial clone/parallel
checkout features of Git.
Note that we have to reinstate that `/usr/bin/git` hack (a shell script
that simply redirects to `/mingw64/bin/git.exe`) in the `pkg` job
manually, since we no longer cache the `build-installers` artifact
_after_ installing that hack in `bundle-artifacts`.

Git's regular Makefile mentions that HOST_CPU should be defined when cross-compiling Git: 37796bca76/Makefile (L438-L439)
This is then used to set the GIT_HOST_CPU variable when compiling Git: 37796bca76/Makefile (L1337-L1341)
Then, when the user runs `git version --build-options`, it returns that value: 37796bca76/help.c (L658)
This commit adds the same functionality to the CMake configuration. Users can now set -DHOST_CPU= to set the target architecture.

When building the Pacman packages, we technically do not need the full

includes the latter's files. And it is _so_ much faster to download the

The workflow allows users to restrict what parts are being built. For
example, `installer-i686` will build only the 32-bit installer, not the
64-bit one nor any MinGit flavor.
However, this logic was not extended when introducing support for ARM64:
Instead, we _also_ built the ARM64 installer when the user asked for
`installer-i686`.
Let's allow restricting to `installer-i686` _without_ building the ARM64
version, and allow restricting to `installer-arm64` _just_ for the ARM64
version.

With this change, users can specify the branch and repository from which
they want to build Git for Windows' artifacts, via the `ref` and
`repository` inputs.

`git-artifacts` workflow is configured in that repository), or

GitHub workflows run in agents that have quite a bit of stuff in their
`PATH`, e.g. Chocolatey. To make sure that those bits and pieces are
_not_ used to build the artifacts, let's whittle down the `PATH` to
contain the bare minimum.

Users can now specify which artifacts they want to build, via the
`build_only` input, which is a space-separated list of artifacts. For
example, `installer portable` will build `installer-x86_64`,
`installer-i686`, `portable-x86_64` and `portable-i686`, and an empty or
unset value will build all artifacts.
Please note that the `mingw-w64-git` packages are built always, as it
would be tricky to figure out when they need to be built (for example,
`build_only=portable-x86_64` technically does not need `pkg-i686` to be
built, while `build_only=portable` does).

Git now shows better information in the GitHub workflow runs when a test
case failed. However, when a test case was implemented incorrectly and
therefore does not even run, nothing is shown.
Let's bring back the step that prints the full logs of the failed tests,
and to improve the user experience, print out an informational message
for readers so that they do not have to know/remember where to see the
full logs.

When investigating a test failure, the time that matters most is the
time it takes from getting aware of the failure to displaying the output
of the failing test case.
You currently have to know a lot of implementation details when
investigating test failures in the CI runs. The first step is easy: the
failed job is marked quite clearly, but when opening it, the failed step
is expanded, which in our case is the one running
`ci/run-build-and-tests.sh`. This step, most notably, only offers a
high-level view of what went wrong: it prints the output of `prove`
which merely tells the reader which test script failed.
The actually interesting part is in the detailed log of said failed
test script. But that log is shown in the CI run's step that runs
`ci/print-test-failures.sh`. And that step is _not_ expanded in the web
UI by default. It is even marked as "successful", which makes it very
easy to miss that there is useful information hidden in there.
Let's help the reader by showing the failed tests' detailed logs in the
step that is expanded automatically, i.e. directly after the test suite
failed.
This also helps the situation where the _build_ failed and the
`print-test-failures` step was executed under the assumption that the
_test suite_ failed, and consequently failed to find any failed tests.
An alternative way to implement this patch would be to source
`ci/print-test-failures.sh` in the `handle_test_failures` function to
show these logs. However, over the course of the next few commits, we
want to introduce some grouping which would be harder to achieve that
way (for example, we do want a leaner, and colored, preamble for each
failed test script, and it would be trickier to accommodate the lack of
nested groupings in GitHub workflows' output).

Drop support for TravisCI and update test workflows at GitHub.
* ab/ci-updates:
CI: don't run "make test" twice in one job
CI: use "$runs_on_pool", not "$jobname" to select packages & config
CI: rename the "Linux32" job to lower-case "linux32"
CI: use shorter names that fit in UX tooltips

CI has been taught to catch some Unicode directional formatting
sequence that can be used in certain mischief.
* js/ci-no-directional-formatting:

The "linux-clang" and "linux-gcc" jobs both run "make test" twice, but
with different environment variables. Running these in sequence seems
to have been done to work around some constraint on Travis, see
ae59a4e44f (travis: run tests with GIT_TEST_SPLIT_INDEX, 2018-01-07).
By having these run in parallel we'll get jobs that finish much sooner
than they otherwise would have.
We can also simplify the control flow in "ci/run-build-and-tests.sh"
as a result, since we won't run "make test" twice we don't need to run
"make" twice at all, let's default to "make all test" after setting
the variables, and then override it to just "all" for the compile-only
tests.
Add a comment to clarify that new "test" targets should adjust
$MAKE_TARGETS rather than being added after the "case/esac". This
should avoid future confusion where e.g. the compilation-only
"pedantic" target will unexpectedly start running tests. See [1] and
[2].

Change the setup hooks for the CI to use "$runs_on_pool" for the
"$regular" job. Now we won't need as much boilerplate when adding new
jobs to the "regular" matrix, see 956d2e4639 (tests: add a test mode
for SANITIZE=leak, run it in CI, 2021-09-23) for the last such commit.
I.e. now instead of needing to enumerate each jobname when we select
packages we can install things depending on the pool we're running
in.
That we didn't do this dates back to the now gone dependency on Travis
CI, but even if we add a new CI target in the future this'll be easier
to port over, since we can probably treat "ubuntu-latest" as a
stand-in for some recent Linux that can run "apt" commands.

Change the names used for the GitHub CI workflows to be short enough
to (mostly) fit in the pop-up tool-tips that GitHub shows in the
commit view. I.e. when mouse-clicking on the passing or failing
check-mark next to the commit subject.
These names are seemingly truncated to 17-20 characters followed by
three dots ("..."). Since a "CI/PR / " prefix is added to them the job
names looked like this before (windows-test and vs-test jobs omitted):
CI/PR / ci-config (p...
CI/PR / windows-buil...
CI/PR / vs-build (pu...

By omitting the "/PR" from the top-level name, and pushing the
$jobname to the front we'll now instead get:
CI / config (push)
CI / win build (push...
CI / win+VS build (...
CI / linux-clang (ub...

CI / documentation
We then have no truncation in the expanded view. See [1] for how it
looked before, [2] for a currently visible CI run using this commit,
and [3] for the GitHub workflow syntax involved being changed here.
Let's also use the existing "pool" field as before. It's occasionally
useful to know we're running on say ubuntu v.s. fedora. The "-latest"
suffix is useful to some[4], and since it's now at the end it doesn't
hurt readability in the short view compared to saying "ubuntu" or
"macos".

As described in https://trojansource.codes/trojan-source.pdf, it is
possible to abuse directional formatting (a feature of Unicode) to
deceive human readers into interpreting code differently from compilers.
For example, an "if ()" expression could be enclosed in a comment, but
rendered as if it was outside of that comment. In effect, this could
fool a reviewer into misinterpreting the code flow as benign when it is
not.
It is highly unlikely that Git's source code wants to contain such

On the Windows build agents, a lot of programs are installed, and added
to the PATH automatically.
One such program is Git for Windows, and due to the way it is set up,
unfortunately its copy of `gpg.exe` is also reachable via the PATH.
This usually does not pose any problems. To the contrary, it even allows
us to test the GPG parts of Git's test suite even if `gpg.exe` is not
delivered as part of `git-sdk-64-minimal`, the minimal subset of Git for
Windows' SDK that we use in the CI builds to compile Git.
However, every once in a while we build a new MSYS2 runtime, which means
that there is a mismatch between the copy in `git-sdk-64-minimal` and
the copy in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin. When that happens we hit the
dreaded problem where only one `msys-2.0.dll` is expected to be in the
PATH, and things start to fail.
Let's avoid all of this by restricting the PATH to the minimal set. This
is actually done by `git-sdk-64-minimal`'s `/etc/profile`, and we just
have to source this file manually (one would expect that it is sourced
automatically, but the Bash steps in Azure Pipelines/GitHub workflows
are explicitly run using `--noprofile`, hence the need for doing this
explicitly).
