From: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org>

These depend on a working git-upload-archive, which is broken on Windows,
because it depends on fork().

 These prerequisites are needed in current master, but would have to be
 patched out again by Erik's upload-archive series.

Shouldn't the prerequisite be called FORK rather than NON_MINGW?

Yes, it should. But we already have one instance of NOT_MINGW in
connection with archive --remote in this file before this patch, and with
Erik's efforts, these particular prerequisites should go away anyway RSN.
