From e37d8f7655a6d92a8d6e47dc1b0fbc2e63c9bb50 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2015 12:25:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Tests (MinGW): Disable mkfifo-based tests With MSys2, there is actually an implementation of mkfifo available. 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 a MinGW Git.
