Given the presence of "for example" in that bug section, I wouldn't
say "only" or "should be unaffected".  I cannot say "we expect no
spurious returns".

I somehow feel that it is prudent to let this cook just above 'next'
for a few days (not just for the log message but to verify the
strategy and wait for others to come up with even better ideas), but
then I'll be offline starting next week, so I expect that merging
the final version to 'next' will be done by our interim maintainer,
which means we still have time to polish ;-)

Here is what I queued for now.

Subject: [PATCH] run-command: remove set_nonblocking()

strbuf_read_once can also operate on blocking file descriptors if we
are sure they are ready.  And the poll(2) we call before calling
this ensures that this is the case.

Reading the manual for poll(2), there may be spurious returns
indicating readiness but that is for network sockets only and pipes
should be unaffected.

With this change, we rely on

 - poll(2) returns only non-empty pipes; and
 - read(2) on a non-empty pipe does not block.

This should fix compilation on Windows.
