This bug was found when testing the Vagrant setup.
When developing Git for Windows, we always have to ensure that we do not break any non-Windows platforms, e.g. by introducing Windows-specific code into the platform-independent source code. At other times, it is necessary to test whether a bug is Windows-specific or not, in order to send the bug report to the correct place. Having access to a Linux-based Git comes in really handy in such a situation. Vagrant offers a painless way to install and use a defined Linux development environment on Windows (and other Operating Systems). We offer a Vagrantfile to that end for two reasons: 1) To allow Windows users to gain the full power of Linux' Git 2) To offer users an easy path to verify that the issue they are about to report is really a Windows-specific issue; otherwise they would need to report it to [email protected] instead. Using it is easy: Download and install https://www.virtualbox.org/, then download and install https://www.vagrantup.com/, then direct your command-line window to the Git source directory containing the Vagrantfile and run the commands: vagrant up vagrant ssh See https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Vagrant for details. As part of switching Git for Windows' development environment from msysGit to the MSys2-based Git SDK, this Vagrantfile was copy-edited from msysGit: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/blob/0be8f2208/Vagrantfile Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

It turned out pretty useful already when we were developing Git for Windows in the msysGit context to be able to compare our Git version to a Linux Git, built from the very same revision and running on the same machine. Vagrant is really ideal to offer that support, so let's just port msysGit's
Vagrantfileto the new Git for Windows.
