Subject: [PATCH 0/4] mingw: rename and open fixes

The recent change of mingw_rename() to use POSIX semantics had quite a bit
of fall-out, breaking in pre-Windows 11 setups that use ReFS, and in a
different way on Windows Server 2016.

While at it, this patch series also upstreams two related patches that
matured in Git for Windows for long enough already.

Johannes Schindelin (3):
  mingw: drop Windows 7-specific work-around
  mingw_rename: support ReFS on Windows 2022
  mingw: support Windows Server 2016 again

Matthias Aßhauer (1):
  mingw_open_existing: handle directories better
