Windows: fix utime() for read-only files

j6t · gitster · commit 852f098c0667 · 2010-03-30T16:34:04.000-07:00
Starting with 5256b00 (Use git_mkstemp_mode instead of plain mkstemp to create object files, 2010-02-22) utime() is invoked on read-only files. This is not allowed on Windows and results in many warnings of the form failed utime() on .git/objects/23/tmp_obj_VlgHlc: Permission denied during a repack. Fix it by making the file temporarily writable. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt <j6t@kdbg.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
