I generally agree. But in this case FreeBSD only sets errno to EMLINK in
this specific case and the only other case NetBSD sets errno to EFTYPE
is when the O_REGULAR flag is used and the path is not a regular file.
Using 'grep -r O_REGULAR' confirms it is never used in git, and since it
is a NetBSD extension I doubt it will ever be used. So not an exotic
case, in my opinion.
Thanks,
Collin
