I agree that openat() and friends would be nice for this (use a file descriptor instead of a string to point to object directories etc), but it's unportable enough that the pain of having to have two totally different access routines is just not worth it. It could be done, but it would need some really nifty abstraction layer. We do already have _part_ of that abstraction layer with things like "git_path()" etc, but it would have to be extended upon quite a bit.
