Fix launching of externals from Unicode paths
If Git were installed in a path containing non-ASCII characters, commands such as git-am and git-submodule, which are implemented as externals, would fail to launch with the following error: > fatal: 'am' appears to be a git command, but we were not > able to execute it. Maybe git-am is broken? This was due to lookup_prog not being Unicode-aware. It was somehow missed in 2ee5a1a. Note that the only problem in this function was calling GetFileAttributes instead of GetFileAttributesW. The calls to access() were fine because access() is a macro which resolves to mingw_access, which already handles Unicode correctly. But I changed lookup_prog to use _waccess directly so that we only convert the path to UTF-16 once. Signed-off-by: Adam Roben <[email protected]>
