The recent change of mingw_rename() to use POSIX semantics had quite a bit of fall-out, breaking in pre-Windows 11 setups that use ReFS, and in a different way on Windows Server 2016.

While at it, this patch series also upstreams two related patches that matured in Git for Windows for long enough already.

Johannes Schindelin (3):
  mingw: drop Windows 7-specific work-around
  mingw_rename: support ReFS on Windows 2022
  mingw: support Windows Server 2016 again
Matthias Aßhauer (1):
  mingw_open_existing: handle directories better
