Merge branch 'js/windows-dotgit'

On Windows, .git and optionally any files whose name starts with a
dot are now marked as hidden, with a core.hideDotFiles knob to
customize this behaviour.

+core.hideDotFiles::
+	(Windows-only) If true, mark newly-created directories and files whose

 core.ignoreCase::
 	If true, this option enables various workarounds to enable
 	Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
