I was wondering about the same thing, I don't think this approach is
very easy to follow. But either way I think we should make sure
opendir/closedir/readdir doesn't mess with errno.

Other platforms and are allowed to (and do) clobber errno in many
non-error situations, so the main effect would be to work around/hide
some git bugs.

For mingw-runtime, the balance might be different.  Making buggy,
non-portable application code easier to port does not sound like a bad
thing.

Just my two cents,
