Hi Patrick,
just one observation, below.

My immediate reaction was: why not fold `git_fsync_once()` into `git_fsync()`?

And then I had a look at the function (which is sadly not in the diff context of this email, one of the occasions when I would prefer a proper UI for reviewing), and I agree that indenting the code even one level would make it harder to read.

All this is to say: I agree with the approach you took here.

Ciao, Dscho
