Sorry, I do not understand.

Before this codepath, we have done safe_create_directories() and
should have already errored out if the parent directory of
"logs/$newref" couldn't have been created for whatever reason.
So when this rename fails, we have a file ".git/tmp-renamed-log"
and a directory ".git/logs/foo", and we are trying to rename the
former to ".git/logs/foo/bar".

Now ".git/logs/foo/bar" might already exist as a directory, and
this error path is attempting to catch EISDIR that comes out
from it (and in that case, if there is nothing but empty
directories in the hierarchy under .git/logs/foo/bar, we 
remove them and retry).

Does Solaris give ENOTDIR in such a case?
