From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:35:06 GMT Subject: [PATCH v2 10/19] mingw: disable mkfifo-based tests Message-ID: <5e9685e6bf906f99ae9cf551f55a12f5853137d6.1453818790.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> In-Reply-To: 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 ': 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.
