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.
