That is a very polite way to express things, and no I did not apply that
patch.
I expected to see "deleted" here. I guess lstat("anything/nul") says "it
exists" everywhere, and that probably is why you are getting EEXIST.
Indeed:
git>ls nul
nul
git>ls nul*
ls: cannot access nul*: No such file or directory
So, any test for existence of <path>NUL will pass, but NUL never appears
in a directory listing. The same is true of the other special filenames
under Windows (aux, ...).
