I'm not sure if you can blame git right away (it could be an underlying
library), and I'm also not convinced that "interrupted system call" is
an error that should never exist for users (error handling is generally
very nuanced).

I'd advice to use GIT_TRACE_FSMONITOR or just GIT_TRACE to figure out
what component is the last one in place before things failed. You can
read about these on the manpage on the "other" subsection of the
"ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" section.

I hope this helps!
