TO-DROP: test only the Windows build and test

dscho · dscho · commit ac03d3eaa1a3 · 2026-06-27T07:57:32.000+02:00
This experiment branch exists solely to run Git for Windows' test suite
under BusyBox' `ash.exe` (via the `use-busybox` dimension of the `win
test` job). The remaining CI jobs (the VS and Meson builds, the Linux
and macOS matrices, the dockerized images, static analysis, rust
analysis, sparse, and the documentation build) add nothing to that
purpose and only produce noise and consume runner time, so let's drop
them here.

This commit must never graduate to `main`; it is marked `TO-DROP`
accordingly.
