From 974ef7ced24a782ff32b2248103e25a397276f36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Schindelin Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2021 11:09:10 +0000 Subject: simple-ipc: work around issues with Cygwin's Unix socket emulation Cygwin emulates Unix sockets by writing files with custom contents and then marking them as system files. The tricky problem is that while the file is written and its `system` bit is set, it is still identified as a file. This caused test failures when Git is too fast looking for the Unix sockets and then complains that there is a plain file in the way. Let's work around this by adding a delayed retry loop, specifically for Cygwin.
