You mean something like #ifdef FOPEN_OPENS_DIRECTORIES inline static FILE *fopen_compat(const char *path, const char *mode) { struct stat st_buf; if (stat(path, &st_buf) || !S_ISREG(st_buf.st_mode)) return NULL; return (fopen(path, mode)); } #define fopen fopen_compat #endif in git-compat-util.h, right? Yeah, I can see that, even if I think the overhead would not be _that_ crucial. But it is a nice way of fixing _all_ fopen() calls at the same time.
