[PATCH 00/19] Let Git's tests pass on Windows

This is a big milestone. With these modifications, Git's source code does not only build without warnings in Git for Windows' SDK, but passes the entire regression test suite.

The patch series contains three different types of patches. First, there are a couple of real fixes that were triggered by failures in the regression tests. Then there are a couple of fixes to the regression tests themselves. And finally, we have to disable a couple of tests because we simply cannot make them work on Windows.

Johannes Schindelin (13):
  mingw: let's use gettext with MSYS2
  mingw: do not trust MSYS2's MinGW gettext.sh
  Git.pm: stop assuming that absolute paths start with a slash
  mingw: prepare the TMPDIR environment variable for shell scripts
  mingw: let lstat() fail with errno == ENOTDIR when appropriate
  mingw: fix t5601-clone.sh
  mingw: accomodate t0060-path-utils for MSYS2
  mingw: disable mkfifo-based tests
  tests: turn off git-daemon tests if FIFOs are not available
  mingw: fix t9700's assumption about directory separators
  mingw: work around pwd issues in the tests
  mingw: skip a couple of git-svn tests that cannot pass on Windows
  mingw: do not bother to test funny file names

Karsten Blees (2):
  mingw: factor out Windows specific environment setup
  mingw: do not use symlinks with SVN in t9100

Pat Thoyts (1):
  mingw: avoid absolute path in t0008

Thomas Braun (1):
  mingw: outsmart MSYS2's path substitution in t1508

마누엘 (2):
  mingw: try to delete target directory before renaming
  mingw: fix git-svn tests that expect chmod to work
