Subject: [PATCH v2] mingw: cope with the Isilon network file system

From: "Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2020 11:28:56 +0000

From: Nathan Sanders <[email-masked]>

On certain network filesystems (currently encountered with Isilon, but
in theory more network storage solutions could be causing the same
issue), when the directory in question is missing,
`raceproof_create_file()` fails with an `ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER`
instead of an `ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND`.

Since it is highly unlikely that we produce such an error by mistake
(the parameters we pass are fairly benign), we can be relatively certain
that the directory is missing in this instance. So let's just translate
that error automagically.

This fixes https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1345.

    mingw: cope with the Isilon network file system
    
    Yet another patch that has lived in Git for Windows for a while.
    
    Changes since v1:
    
     * fixed a typo in the commit message ("encounterd")
     * re-wrapped the first paragraph of the commit message to fit inside 72
       columns/line
     * fixed a typo in the code comment ("a unknow")
     * reworded the code comment to read less like a commit message
     * avoided the comma operator
     * added some white-space to structure the code better
