[PATCH 0/2] open() error checking

[Thomas Rast <trast@inf.ethz.ch>]

#1 is Dale's suggested change.  Dale, to include it we'd need your
Signed-off-by as per Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

#2 is a similar error-checking fix; I reviewed 'git grep "\bopen\b"'
and found one case where the return value was obviously not tested.
The corresponding Windows code path has the same problem, but I dare
not touch it; perhaps someone from the Windows side can look into it?

I originally had a four-patch series to open 0/1/2 from /dev/null, but
then I noticed that this was shot down in 2008:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/93605/focus=93896

Do you want to resurrect this?

The worst part about it is that because we don't have a stderr to rely
on, we can't simply die("stop playing mind games").
