Merge branch 'js/visual-studio'
 
Support building Git with Visual Studio

The bits about .git/branches/* have been dropped from the series.
We may want to drop the support for it, but until that happens, the
tests should rely on the existence of the support to pass.

* js/visual-studio: (23 commits)
  git: avoid calling aliased builtins via their dashed form
  bin-wrappers: append `.exe` to target paths if necessary
  .gitignore: ignore Visual Studio's temporary/generated files
  .gitignore: touch up the entries regarding Visual Studio
  vcxproj: also link-or-copy builtins
  msvc: add a Makefile target to pre-generate the Visual Studio solution
  contrib/buildsystems: add a backend for modern Visual Studio versions
  contrib/buildsystems: handle options starting with a slash
  contrib/buildsystems: also handle -lexpat
  contrib/buildsystems: handle libiconv, too
  contrib/buildsystems: handle the curl library option
  contrib/buildsystems: error out on unknown option
  contrib/buildsystems: optionally capture the dry-run in a file
  contrib/buildsystems: redirect errors of the dry run into a log file
  contrib/buildsystems: ignore gettext stuff
  contrib/buildsystems: handle quoted spaces in filenames
  contrib/buildsystems: fix misleading error message
  contrib/buildsystems: ignore irrelevant files in Generators/
  contrib/buildsystems: ignore invalidcontinue.obj
  Vcproj.pm: urlencode '<' and '>' when generating VC projects

NAME
----
git-var - Show a Git logical variable


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git var' ( -l | <variable> )

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Prints a Git logical variable.

OPTIONS
-------
-l::
	Cause the logical variables to be listed. In addition, all the
	variables of the Git configuration file .git/config are listed
	as well. (However, the configuration variables listing functionality
	is deprecated in favor of `git config -l`.)

EXAMPLES
--------
	$ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
	Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@lnxi.com> 1121223278 -0600


VARIABLES
---------
GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT::
    The author of a piece of code.

GIT_COMMITTER_IDENT::
    The person who put a piece of code into Git.

GIT_EDITOR::
    Text editor for use by Git commands.  The value is meant to be
    interpreted by the shell when it is used.  Examples: `~/bin/vi`,
    `$SOME_ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE`, `"C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
    --nofork`.  The order of preference is the `$GIT_EDITOR`
    environment variable, then `core.editor` configuration, then
    `$VISUAL`, then `$EDITOR`, and then the default chosen at compile
    time, which is usually 'vi'.
ifdef::git-default-editor[]
    The build you are using chose '{git-default-editor}' as the default.
endif::git-default-editor[]

GIT_PAGER::
    Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less').  The value
    is meant to be interpreted by the shell.  The order of preference
    is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
    configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
    compile time (usually 'less').
ifdef::git-default-pager[]
    The build you are using chose '{git-default-pager}' as the default.
endif::git-default-pager[]
