add generic terminal prompt function
When we need to prompt the user for input interactively, we
want to access their terminal directly. We can't rely on
stdio because it may be connected to pipes or files, rather
than the terminal. Instead, we use "getpass()", because it
abstracts the idea of prompting and reading from the
terminal. However, it has some problems:
1. It never echoes the typed characters, which makes it OK
for passwords but annoying for other input (like usernames).
2. Some implementations of getpass() have an extremely
small input buffer (e.g., Solaris 8 is reported to
support only 8 characters).
3. Some implementations of getpass() will fall back to
reading from stdin (e.g., glibc). We explicitly don't
want this, because our stdin may be connected to a pipe
speaking a particular protocol, and reading will
disrupt the protocol flow (e.g., the remote-curl
helper).
4. Some implementations of getpass() turn off signals, so
that hitting "^C" on the terminal does not break out of
the password prompt. This can be a mild annoyance.
Instead, let's provide an abstract "git_terminal_prompt"
function that addresses these concerns. This patch includes
an implementation based on /dev/tty, enabled by setting
HAVE_DEV_TTY. The fallback is to use getpass() as before.

built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences more efficiently
When `interactive.singlekey = true`, we react immediately to keystrokes,
even to Escape sequences (e.g. when pressing a cursor key).
The problem with Escape sequences is that we do not really know when
they are done, and as a heuristic we poll standard input for half a
second to make sure that we got all of it.
While waiting half a second is not asking for a whole lot, it can become
quite annoying over time, therefore with this patch, we read the
terminal capabilities (if available) and extract known Escape sequences
from there, then stop polling immediately when we detected that the user
pressed a key that generated such a known sequence.
This recapitulates the remaining part of b5cc003253c8 (add -i: ignore
terminal escape sequences, 2011-05-17).
Note: We do *not* query the terminal capabilities directly. That would
either require a lot of platform-specific code, or it would require
linking to a library such as ncurses.
Linking to a library in the built-ins is something we try very hard to
avoid (we even kicked the libcurl dependency to a non-built-in remote
helper, just to shave off a tiny fraction of a second from Git's startup
time). And the platform-specific code would be a maintenance nightmare.
Even worse: in Git for Windows' case, we would need to query MSYS2
pseudo terminals, which `git.exe` simply cannot do (because it is
intentionally *not* an MSYS2 program).
To address this, we simply spawn `infocmp -L -1` and parse its output
(which works even in Git for Windows, because that helper is included in
the end-user facing installations).
This is done only once, as in the Perl version, but it is done only when
the first Escape sequence is encountered, not upon startup of `git add
-i`; This saves on startup time, yet makes reacting to the first Escape
sequence slightly more sluggish. But it allows us to keep the
terminal-related code encapsulated in the `compat/terminal.c` file.

built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences in interactive.singlekey mode
This recapitulates part of b5cc003253c8 (add -i: ignore terminal escape
sequences, 2011-05-17):
add -i: ignore terminal escape sequences
On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and
thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite
dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [
characters and happily treat A as "discard everything".
As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities.
Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[
(i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence. Finally, given an
input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a
full escape sequence, then return that to the caller. We use a
timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck
if the user actually input a lone ^[.
Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net
result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help
displayed.
Note that we leave part for later which uses "Term::Cap to get all
terminal capabilities", for several reasons:
1. it is actually not really necessary, as the timeout of 0.5 seconds
should be plenty sufficient to catch Escape sequences,
2. it is cleaner to keep the change to special-case Escape sequences
separate from the change that reads all terminal capabilities to
speed things up, and
3. in practice, relying on the terminal capabilities is a bit overrated,
as the information could be incomplete, or plain wrong. For example,
in this developer's tmux sessions, the terminal capabilities claim
that the "cursor up" sequence is ^[M, but the actual sequence
produced by the "cursor up" key is ^[[A.

add generic terminal prompt function
When we need to prompt the user for input interactively, we
want to access their terminal directly. We can't rely on
stdio because it may be connected to pipes or files, rather
than the terminal. Instead, we use "getpass()", because it
abstracts the idea of prompting and reading from the
terminal. However, it has some problems:
1. It never echoes the typed characters, which makes it OK
for passwords but annoying for other input (like usernames).
2. Some implementations of getpass() have an extremely
small input buffer (e.g., Solaris 8 is reported to
support only 8 characters).
3. Some implementations of getpass() will fall back to
reading from stdin (e.g., glibc). We explicitly don't
want this, because our stdin may be connected to a pipe
speaking a particular protocol, and reading will
disrupt the protocol flow (e.g., the remote-curl
helper).
4. Some implementations of getpass() turn off signals, so
that hitting "^C" on the terminal does not break out of
the password prompt. This can be a mild annoyance.
Instead, let's provide an abstract "git_terminal_prompt"
function that addresses these concerns. This patch includes
an implementation based on /dev/tty, enabled by setting
HAVE_DEV_TTY. The fallback is to use getpass() as before.

built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences more efficiently
When `interactive.singlekey = true`, we react immediately to keystrokes,
even to Escape sequences (e.g. when pressing a cursor key).
The problem with Escape sequences is that we do not really know when
they are done, and as a heuristic we poll standard input for half a
second to make sure that we got all of it.
While waiting half a second is not asking for a whole lot, it can become
quite annoying over time, therefore with this patch, we read the
terminal capabilities (if available) and extract known Escape sequences
from there, then stop polling immediately when we detected that the user
pressed a key that generated such a known sequence.
This recapitulates the remaining part of b5cc003253c8 (add -i: ignore
terminal escape sequences, 2011-05-17).
Note: We do *not* query the terminal capabilities directly. That would
either require a lot of platform-specific code, or it would require
linking to a library such as ncurses.
Linking to a library in the built-ins is something we try very hard to
avoid (we even kicked the libcurl dependency to a non-built-in remote
helper, just to shave off a tiny fraction of a second from Git's startup
time). And the platform-specific code would be a maintenance nightmare.
Even worse: in Git for Windows' case, we would need to query MSYS2
pseudo terminals, which `git.exe` simply cannot do (because it is
intentionally *not* an MSYS2 program).
To address this, we simply spawn `infocmp -L -1` and parse its output
(which works even in Git for Windows, because that helper is included in
the end-user facing installations).
This is done only once, as in the Perl version, but it is done only when
the first Escape sequence is encountered, not upon startup of `git add
-i`; This saves on startup time, yet makes reacting to the first Escape
sequence slightly more sluggish. But it allows us to keep the
terminal-related code encapsulated in the `compat/terminal.c` file.

built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences in interactive.singlekey mode
This recapitulates part of b5cc003253c8 (add -i: ignore terminal escape
sequences, 2011-05-17):
add -i: ignore terminal escape sequences
On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and
thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite
dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [
characters and happily treat A as "discard everything".
As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities.
Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[
(i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence. Finally, given an
input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a
full escape sequence, then return that to the caller. We use a
timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck
if the user actually input a lone ^[.
Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net
result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help
displayed.
Note that we leave part for later which uses "Term::Cap to get all
terminal capabilities", for several reasons:
1. it is actually not really necessary, as the timeout of 0.5 seconds
should be plenty sufficient to catch Escape sequences,
2. it is cleaner to keep the change to special-case Escape sequences
separate from the change that reads all terminal capabilities to
speed things up, and
3. in practice, relying on the terminal capabilities is a bit overrated,
as the information could be incomplete, or plain wrong. For example,
in this developer's tmux sessions, the terminal capabilities claim
that the "cursor up" sequence is ^[M, but the actual sequence
produced by the "cursor up" key is ^[[A.

built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences more efficiently
When `interactive.singlekey = true`, we react immediately to keystrokes,
even to Escape sequences (e.g. when pressing a cursor key).
The problem with Escape sequences is that we do not really know when
they are done, and as a heuristic we poll standard input for half a
second to make sure that we got all of it.
While waiting half a second is not asking for a whole lot, it can become
quite annoying over time, therefore with this patch, we read the
terminal capabilities (if available) and extract known Escape sequences
from there, then stop polling immediately when we detected that the user
pressed a key that generated such a known sequence.
This recapitulates the remaining part of b5cc003253c8 (add -i: ignore
terminal escape sequences, 2011-05-17).
Note: We do *not* query the terminal capabilities directly. That would
either require a lot of platform-specific code, or it would require
linking to a library such as ncurses.
Linking to a library in the built-ins is something we try very hard to
avoid (we even kicked the libcurl dependency to a non-built-in remote
helper, just to shave off a tiny fraction of a second from Git's startup
time). And the platform-specific code would be a maintenance nightmare.
Even worse: in Git for Windows' case, we would need to query MSYS2
pseudo terminals, which `git.exe` simply cannot do (because it is
intentionally *not* an MSYS2 program).
To address this, we simply spawn `infocmp -L -1` and parse its output
(which works even in Git for Windows, because that helper is included in
the end-user facing installations).
This is done only once, as in the Perl version, but it is done only when
the first Escape sequence is encountered, not upon startup of `git add
-i`; This saves on startup time, yet makes reacting to the first Escape
sequence slightly more sluggish. But it allows us to keep the
terminal-related code encapsulated in the `compat/terminal.c` file.

built-in add -p: handle Escape sequences in interactive.singlekey mode
This recapitulates part of b5cc003253c8 (add -i: ignore terminal escape
sequences, 2011-05-17):
add -i: ignore terminal escape sequences
On the author's terminal, the up-arrow input sequence is ^[[A, and
thus fat-fingering an up-arrow into 'git checkout -p' is quite
dangerous: git-add--interactive.perl will ignore the ^[ and [
characters and happily treat A as "discard everything".
As a band-aid fix, use Term::Cap to get all terminal capabilities.
Then use the heuristic that any capability value that starts with ^[
(i.e., \e in perl) must be a key input sequence. Finally, given an
input that starts with ^[, read more characters until we have read a
full escape sequence, then return that to the caller. We use a
timeout of 0.5 seconds on the subsequent reads to avoid getting stuck
if the user actually input a lone ^[.
Since none of the currently recognized keys start with ^[, the net
result is that the sequence as a whole will be ignored and the help
displayed.
Note that we leave part for later which uses "Term::Cap to get all
terminal capabilities", for several reasons:
1. it is actually not really necessary, as the timeout of 0.5 seconds
should be plenty sufficient to catch Escape sequences,
2. it is cleaner to keep the change to special-case Escape sequences
separate from the change that reads all terminal capabilities to
speed things up, and
3. in practice, relying on the terminal capabilities is a bit overrated,
as the information could be incomplete, or plain wrong. For example,
in this developer's tmux sessions, the terminal capabilities claim
that the "cursor up" sequence is ^[M, but the actual sequence
produced by the "cursor up" key is ^[[A.

add generic terminal prompt function
When we need to prompt the user for input interactively, we
want to access their terminal directly. We can't rely on
stdio because it may be connected to pipes or files, rather
than the terminal. Instead, we use "getpass()", because it
abstracts the idea of prompting and reading from the
terminal. However, it has some problems:
1. It never echoes the typed characters, which makes it OK
for passwords but annoying for other input (like usernames).
2. Some implementations of getpass() have an extremely
small input buffer (e.g., Solaris 8 is reported to
support only 8 characters).
3. Some implementations of getpass() will fall back to
reading from stdin (e.g., glibc). We explicitly don't
want this, because our stdin may be connected to a pipe
speaking a particular protocol, and reading will
disrupt the protocol flow (e.g., the remote-curl
helper).
4. Some implementations of getpass() turn off signals, so
that hitting "^C" on the terminal does not break out of
the password prompt. This can be a mild annoyance.
Instead, let's provide an abstract "git_terminal_prompt"
function that addresses these concerns. This patch includes
an implementation based on /dev/tty, enabled by setting
HAVE_DEV_TTY. The fallback is to use getpass() as before.
