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 '<name>: 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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>
