I agree with the approach in principle, but I wonder if we want to
contaminate the generic codepath with unlink_or_chmod().

Don't we want to have this

	#undef unlink
	int workaround_broken_unlink(...) {
        	... the same ...
	}

in compat/broken-unlink.c and something like this

	#ifdef BROKEN_UNLINK
	#define unlink(x) workaround_broken_unlink(x)
        #endif

in git-compat-util.h instead?  That way, people on well behaving
systems do not have to worry about clobbering errno and stuff,
perhaps?
