Description
On Windows, the .git files are given the hidden attribute. If a file is marked as hidden, it cannot be written to using the standard Python open(..., 'w') command. This is because the underlying win32 api errors unless the attributes of the open command match the attributes of the file, and this is not exposed in the Python API
For example, consider the following snippet:
import gitr = git.Repo('test')r.create_submodule(name='testing', path='testing', url='https://github.com/matthewwardrop/python-parampy')On Unix, this works fine. In Windows, however, it will crash with the following stack trace:
Traceback (most recent call last): ... File "c:\program files\python35\lib\site-packages\git\repo\base.py", line 306, in create_submodule return Submodule.add(self, *args, **kwargs) File "c:\program files\python35\lib\site-packages\git\objects\submodule\base.py", line 389, in add mrepo = cls._clone_repo(repo, url, path, name, **kwargs) File "c:\program files\python35\lib\site-packages\git\objects\submodule\base.py", line 253, in _clone_repo cls._write_git_file_and_module_config(module_checkout_path, module_abspath) File "c:\program files\python35\lib\site-packages\git\objects\submodule\base.py", line 292, in _write_git_file_and_module_config fp = open(git_file, 'wb')PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\matthewwardrop\\test\\testing\\.git'There's probably a workaround using the raw git commands, but it would be nice to have this cleaned up.
