On Cygwin, poll() reports POLLIN even for file descriptors that have reached their end. This caused git upload-archive to be stuck in an infinite loop, as it only looked at the POLLIN flag. In addition to POLLIN, check if read() returned 0, which indicates end-of-file, and keep looping only as long as at least one of the file descriptors has input. This lets the following command finish on its own when run in a git repository on Cygwin, instead of it getting stuck after printing all file names: $ git archive -v --remote .
