Yeah, I think it makes sense to have this as a separate patch,
applying even before the other series.

Thanks.

[PATCH] git_fopen: fix a sparse 'not declared' warning

[Ramsay Jones]

Commit 8f4f6e53d2 ("config.mak.uname: set FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for
Linux and FreeBSD", 20-04-2017) caused sparse to issue a 'not declared,
should it be static?' warning on Linux. This is a result of the method
employed by 'compat/fopen.c' to suppress the (possible) redefinition of
the (system) fopen macro, which also removes the extern declaration of
the git_fopen function.

In order to suppress the warning, introduce a new macro to suppress the
definition (or possibly the re-definition) of the fopen symbol as a
macro override. This new macro (SUPPRESS_FOPEN_REDEFINITION) is only
defined in 'compat/fopen.c', just prior to the inclusion of the
'git-compat-util.h' header file.

Hi Duy,

Could you (or Junio) please add this to your 'nd/fopen-errors' branch, either
as a separate patch or squash it into commit 8f4f6e53d2 ("config.mak.uname: set 
FREAD_READS_DIRECTORIES for Linux and FreeBSD", 20-04-2017). I think it would
be better as a separate commit, but I will leave you to decide on that. ;-)

Thanks!

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
