[PATCH v2 10/19] mingw: disable mkfifo-based tests

Message-ID: <5e9685e6bf906f99ae9cf551f55a12f5853137d6.1453818790.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1453818789.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

MSYS2 (the POSIX emulation layer used by Git for Windows' Bash) actually has a working mkfifo. The only problem is that it is only emulating named pipes through the MSYS2 runtime; The Win32 API has no idea about named pipes, hence the Git executable cannot access those pipes either.

The symptom is that Git fails with a '<name>: No such file or directory' because MSYS2 emulates named pipes through special-crafted '.lnk' files.

The solution is to tell the test suite explicitly that we cannot use named pipes when we want to test on Windows.

This lets t4056-diff-order.sh, t9010-svn-fe.sh and t9300-fast-import.sh pass.
