The subject line would have to be adjusted as well.

	mingw: forbid translating ERROR_SUCCESS to an errno value

or something.
      
          Johannes Sixt pointed out that the `err_win_to_posix()` function
     -    mishandles `ERROR_SUCCESS`. This commit fixes that.
     +    mishandles `ERROR_SUCCESS`: it maps it to `ENOSYS`.
      
     -    Technically, we try to only assign `errno` to the corresponding value of
     -    `GetLastError()` (which translation is performed by that function) when
     -    a Win32 API call failed, so this change is purely defensive and is not
     -    expected to fix an existing bug in our code base.
     +    The only purpose of this function is to map Win32 API errors to `errno`
     +    ones, and there is actually no equivalent to `ERROR_SUCCESS`: the idea
     +    of `errno` is that it will only be set in case of an error, and left
     +    alone in case of success.
     +
     +    Therefore, as pointed out by Junio Hamano, it is a bug to call this
     +    function when there was not even any error to map.
