From fb5e3378f8427ef970544848974db2dc90828a7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Tue, 22 Jun 2021 10:46:46 +0000 Subject: mingw: move Git for Windows' system config where users expect it Git for Windows' prefix is `/mingw64/` (or `/mingw32/` for 32-bit versions), therefore the system config is located at the clunky location `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig`. This moves the system config into a more logical location: the `mingw64` part of `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig` never made sense, as it is a mere implementation detail. Let's skip the `mingw64` part and move this to `C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig`. Side note: in the rare (and not recommended) case a user chooses to install 32-bit Git for Windows on a 64-bit system, the path will of course be `C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig`. Background: During the Git for Windows v1.x days, the system config was located at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\etc\gitconfig`. With Git for Windows v2.x, it moved to `C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\gitconfig` (or `C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\mingw32\gitconfig`). Rather than fixing it back then, we tried to introduce a "Windows-wide" config, but that never caught on. Likewise, we move the system `gitattributes` into the same directory. Obviously, we are cautious to do this only for the known install locations `/mingw64` and `/mingw32`; If anybody wants to override that while building their version of Git (e.g. via `make prefix=$HOME`), we leave the default location of the system config and gitattributes alone.

Because of this, things like `git clone` do not work correctly (because cURL is no longer able to find its certificate bundle that it needs to validate HTTPS certificates). See the full bug report and discussion here: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3071#issuecomment-789261386. This commit aligns the CMake-based build by mimicking what is already done in `config.mak.uname`. This closes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3071.

As we want the system gitconfig to live in the sibling directory `etc`, we define the relative path as `../etc/gitconfig`. However, as reported by Philip Oakley, the output of `git config --show-origin --system -l` looks rather ugly, as it shows the path as `file:C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/../etc/gitconfig`, i.e. with the `mingw64/../` part. By normalizing the path, we get a prettier path.
