From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Teach `test-tool.exe chmtime` to ignore errors when setting the mtime on a directory on Windows. NEEDSWORK: The Windows version of `utime()` (aka `mingw_utime()`) does not properly handle directories because it uses `_wopen()`. It should be converted to using `CreateFileW()` and backup semantics at a minimum. Since I'm already in the middle of a large patch series, I did not want to destabilize other callers of `utime()` right now. The problem has only been observed in the t/perf/p7519 test when the test repo contains an empty directory on disk.
