Git's Continuous Integration (CI) includes an Azure Pipeline that builds Git on Linux, macOS and Windows, in the former two cases even in multiple configurations (using GCC vs clang, 32-bit vs 64-bit, etc). On Windows, we only build using GCC, using (a subset of) Git for Windows' SDK.
Recently, a patch series made it into Git that re-instates the ability to generate project files for use with Visual Studio. The idea there being: contributors can check out a special branch that has those generated files in one generated commit on top of e.g. Git for Windows' master, allowing the contributors to build Git in Visual Studio, without the need for downloading Git for Windows' SDK (which weighs quite a bit: ~600MB download, ~2GB disk footprint). The tests can then be run from a regular Git for Windows Bash. This patch series adds that axis to Git's Azure Pipeline: the project files are generated, MSBuild (which is kind of the command-line equivalent of Visual Studio's "Build" operation) is used to build Git, and then a parallelized test job runs the test suite in a Portable Git. These patches are based on js/visual-studio. Changes since v2: * The overflow check introduced in v1 was consolidated into a single helper. Changes since v1: * "While at it", we now also check for overflows when doing that -1 - <unsigned> arithmetic. * The JUnit-style XML is finalized also in case that the script aborts e.g. due to an incorrect number of arguments in a test_expect_success call.
