Style: SP on both sides of a binary operator.

More importantly, is ENOTDIR expected only on a buggy platform?  

[ENOTDIR]
    A component of either path prefix names an existing file that is
    neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory; or the old
    argument names a directory and the new argument names a
    non-directory file; or the old argument contains at least one non-
    <slash> character and ends with one or more trailing <slash>
    characters and the last pathname component names an existing file
    that is neither a directory nor a symbolic link to a directory; or
    the old argument names an existing non-directory file and the new
    argument names a nonexistent file, contains at least one non-
    <slash> character, and ends with one or more trailing <slash>
    characters; or the new argument names an existing non-directory
    file, contains at least one non- <slash> character, and ends with
    one or more trailing <slash> characters.

i.e. when a leading component of "path" or TMP_RENAMED_LOG is an
existing non-directory, we could get ENOTDIR on a valid system.

If another instance of Git created a file A/B when this process is
trying to rename the temporary thing to its final location A/B/C,
isn't that the errno we would see here?

[EISDIR]
    The new argument points to a directory and the old argument
    points to a file that is not a directory.

Puzzled...
