Subject: [PATCH v2] Windows: correct detection of EISDIR in mingw_open()

From: Johannes Sixt <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2014 22:06:26 +0100

According to the Linux open(2) man page, open() returns EISDIR if a
directory was attempted to be opened for writing. Our emulation in
mingw_open() does not get this right: it checks only for O_CREAT. Fix
it to check for a write request.

This fixes a failure in reflog handling, which opens files with
O_APPEND|O_WRONLY, but without O_CREAT, and expects EISDIR when the
named file happens to be a directory.

 This version of the patch uses O_ACCMODE.
