Yes, but (1) we'd need to be careful about --quiet

Yeah. It's a real pain point for making changes like this. At some
point we should just have a global (maybe multi-level) quiet flag.

I don't think it's too bad here. Isn't it just:

  FILE *fh = quiet ? fopen(x, y) : fopen_or_warn(x, y);

It is a little annoying to have to repeat "x", though (which is
sometimes a git_path() invocation).

Sure, but you could do

	fopen_or_warn(quiet, x, y)

if it is a problem ;-)
