Hi,
  mingw does not have FIFOs, so it cannot run git-daemon tests.

Thanks. I took a peek at the mkfifo call here. It is used to make sure
the daemon has started before we run the tests which depend on it. I
suspect we could do something with a regular pipe, but the code would be
rather tricky.  Simply skipping the daemon tests is a reasonable
compromise until somebody feels like trying to make it work without a
fifo.
