Don't we have that already? https://github.com/git/git/blob/v2.27.0-rc1/wrapper.c#L625-L638

If that function does not meet the bill, it would make more sense to extend it (or refactor it, providing a new global function that does meet the bill).

Makes a lot of sense to me!

I wonder whether there is _ever_ a case where we want to set `mode` to anything else than `"w"`? Ah...

... rather than doing this, I would prefer a pair of functions (that can call the same helper function doing the actual work): `write_to_file()` and `append_to_file()`.

Apart from that, the patch looks good to me, Dscho
