Johannes Schindelin 52a86dd26d t5410: avoid hangs in CI runs in the win+Meson test jobs
In the GitHub workflow used in Git's CI builds, the `vs test` jobs use a
subset of a specific revision of Git for Windows' SDK to run Git's test
suite. This revision is validated by another CI workflow to ensure that
said revision _can_ run Git's test suite successfully, skipping buggy
updates in Git for Windows' SDK.

The `win+Meson test` jobs do things differently, quite differently. They
use the Bash of the Git for Windows version that is installed on the
runners to run Git's test suite.

This difference has consequences.

When 68cb0b5253 (builtin/receive-pack: add option to skip connectivity
check, 2025-05-20) introduced a test case that uses `tee <file> | git
receive-pack` as `--receive-pack` parameter (imitating an existing
pattern in the same test script), it hit just the sweet spot to trigger
a bug in the MSYS2 runtime shipped in Git for Windows v2.49.0. This
version is the one currently installed on GitHub's runners.

The problem is that the `git receive-pack` process finishes while the
`tee` process does not need to write anything anymore and therefore does
not receive an EOF. Instead, it should receive a SIGPIPE, but the bug in
the MSYS2 runtime prevents that from working as intended. As a
consequence, the `tee` process waits for more input from the `git.exe
send-pack` process but none is coming, and the test script patiently
waits until the 6h timeout hits.

Only every once in a while, the `git receive-pack` process manages to
send an EOF to the `tee` process and no hang occurs. Therefore, the
problem can be worked around by cancelling the clearly-hanging job after
twenty or so minutes and re-running it, repeating the process about half
a dozen times, until the hang was successfully avoided.

This bug in the MSYS2 runtime has been fixed in the meantime, which is
the reason why the same test case causes no problems in the `win test`
and the `vs test` jobs.

This will continue to be the case until the Git for Windows version on
the GitHub runners is upgraded to a version that distributes a newer
MSYS2 runtime version. However, as of time of writing, this _is_ the
latest Git for Windows version, and will be for another 1.5 weeks, until
Git v2.50.0 is scheduled to appear (and shortly thereafter Git for
Windows v2.50.0). Traditionally it takes a while before the runners pick
up the new version.

We could just wait it out, six hours at a time.

Here, I opt for an alternative: Detect the buggy MSYS2 runtime and
simply skip the test case. It's not like the `receive-pack` test cases
are specific to Windows, and even then, to my chagrin the CI runs in
git-for-windows/git spend around ten hours of compute time each and
every time to run the entire test suite on all the platforms, even the
tests that cover cross-platform code, and for Windows alone we do that
three times: with GCC, with MSVC, and with MSVC via Meson. Therefore, I
deem it more than acceptable to skip this test case in one of those
matrices.

For good luck, also the preceding test case is skipped in that scenario,
as it uses the same `--receive-pack=tee <file> | git receive-pack`
pattern, even though I never observed that test case to hang in
practice.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.

Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.

Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.

See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.

CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).

The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).

Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).

To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.

Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.

The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.

The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):

  • random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
  • stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
  • "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
  • "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
