I don't know.  If this is about remote Git processes, then
process-send-eof sends EOF via the network connection, doesn't it?  If
so, the network-connection implementation of process-send-eof works on
MS-Windows like it works on any other system: we call 'shutdown'.

If in this scenario we try to send EOF to a local process running on
Windows, then we close the file descriptor, like we do on other
systems.  Why would that not work?

Bottom line: I have no idea what's going on there, sorry.
