Subject: Fix replacing of a directory with a file/symlink in git-checkout-cache
X-Git-Tag: v0.99.1~23
X-Git-Url: https://git.verplant.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d48a72f337fa8edfb7a09e620e75cbbb2a5fe836;p=git.git

Fix replacing of a directory with a file/symlink in git-checkout-cache

The symlink case had never worked, and the file case was broken by the
O_EXCL change because the error return changed from EISDIR to EEXIST.

Fix both problems by just moving the test for an existing directory to a
more logical place.
