[PATCH v3 13/13] is_missing_file_error(): work around EINVAL on Windows

From
Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Date
May 26, 2017, 03:35 UTC
Message-ID
<20170526033510.1793-14-gitster@pobox.com>
In-Reply-To
<20170526033510.1793-1-gitster@pobox.com>

When asked to open/fopen a path, e.g. "a/b:/c", which does not exist on the filesystem, Windows (correctly) fails to open it but sets EINVAL to errno because the pathname has characters that cannot be stored in its filesystem.

As this is an expected failure, teach is_missing_file_error() helper about this case.

This is RFC, as there may be a case where we get EINVAL from open/fopen for reasons other than "the filesystem does not like this pathname" that may be worth reporting to the user, and this change is sweeping such an error under the rug.
