[PATCH v4 5/5] mingw_rmdir: set errno=ENOTEMPTY when appropriate

From
Heiko Voigt <hvoigt@hvoigt.net>
Date

Message-ID

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

On Windows, EACCES overrules ENOTEMPTY when calling rmdir(). But if the directory is busy, we only want to retry deleting the directory if it is empty, so test specifically for that case and set ENOTEMPTY rather than EACCES.

Noticed by Greg Hazel.
