[Monotone-devel] chmod on Win32 MinGW

[Stephen Leake]

These tests are now failing on Win32 MinGW:

113 checkout_validates_target_directory           FAIL (line 24)
118 clone_validates_target_directory              FAIL (line 26)

They both rely on chmod and permission enforcing. Reproducing the
basic operations in a MinGW Msys shell shows that it does _not_
enforce permissions:

$ mkdir test_dir4
$ ls -ld test_dir4/
drwxr-xr-x    2 stephe   Administ        0 Sep  1 10:08 test_dir4/
$ chmod 444 test_dir4/
$ ls -ld test_dir4/
dr-xr-xr-x    2 stephe   Administ        0 Sep  1 10:08 test_dir4/
$ mkdir test_dir4/subdir
$ ls test_dir4/
subdir

So it makes sense that the test should fail.

However, these have been present since February, and used to pass!

Perhaps something changed in MinGW?

Anyway, I'll add a partial skip on Windows to these tests.
