Making errno when returning from verify_lock() meaningful, which
should almost but not completely fix
* a bug in "git fetch"'s s_update_ref, which trusts the result of an
errno == ENOTDIR check to detect D/F conflicts
ENOTDIR makes sense as a sign that a file was in the way of a
directory we wanted to create. Should "git fetch" also look for
ENOTEMPTY or EEXIST to catch cases where a directory was in the way
of a file to be created?
