It is nil here.

No, it again returns nil here.  As it should, since this file is not a
directory.

Could be something OS X specific, I tried on GNU/Linux and on Windows,
and the function always returns nil for files that are not
directories.

I tried both in a Git repository where I have many files, and in a
repository where I have only one shell script, as you mentioned.  The
results are always the same.

What version of Emacs do you use?
