Philip Oakley and Jeff Hostetler worked quite a bit on getting Git to compile with MS Visual C again, and this patch series is the culmination of those efforts. With these patches, it is as easy as make MSVC=1 Note: the patches went through quite the number of iterations. For example, for a long time we targeted Visual Studio 2015, and used NuGet packages for the dependencies (such as OpenSSL, cURL, etc), while the current iteration targets Visual Studio 2017 and uses vcpkg [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/vcpkg?view=vs-2017] for dependencies. Hopefully I did not forget to remove any remnants of those previous versions. Please also note that this patch series is part 1 of 3 in a bigger story: the next patch series will add support to build Git in Microsoft Visual Studio, and the third patch series will add Continuous Testing by adding an MSVC build and a corresponding parallelized test job to our Azure Pipeline.
