Use the last known good release of Git for Windows by installing it manually. It restores `runtests.pl` performance to the levels before the October 2024 and this week's fallouts which gradually deployed MSYS2 runtimes with pipe/signal/concurrency issues. Also: - restore vcpkg job's test parallelism to `-j8` (from `-j4`). - keep using the default shell for jobs not running tests. To avoid the unnecessary Git for Windows install overhead. Upsides: - good performance again. - easy to experiment with any version. Downsides: - installing the Git for Windows package takes 15-30 seconds. - we're pinned to an old package version. - no canary to tell when the issue is fixed on the runner images. Unknown: - stability. (no MSYS2 runtimes were ever stable and it's difficult to quantify if a version improves or worsens stability/flakiness, and intermittent env failures. Follow-up to |
