Unable to create HEAD.lock when cloning inside directory with permissions in directory without any permissions #2531

I've tried to reproduce it using a non-insider windows build (Version: |

To make things easier to reproduce, I used I get a different error message (but with the same Git version! Microsoft Windows Version is 10.0.18363.657): And the reason is that Git for Windows tries to verify that all leading directories exist. An even more minimal example is Even if those error messages differ, I am fairly certain that they have the same underlying root cause: As you can see, the directory was created. But it does not give any permissions to the current user. |

When creating directories via `safe_create_leading_directories()`, we might encounter an already-existing directory which is not readable by the current user. To handle that situation, Git's code calls `stat()` to determine whether we're looking at a directory. In such a case, `CreateFile()` will fail, though, no matter what, and consequently `mingw_stat()` will fail, too. But POSIX semantics seem to still allow `stat()` to go forward. So let's call `mingw_lstat()` for the rescue if we fail to get a file handle due to denied permission in `mingw_stat()`, and fill the stat info that way. We need to be careful to not allow this to go forward in case that we're looking at a symbolic link: to resolve the link, we would still have to create a file handle, and we just found out that we cannot. Therefore, `stat()` still needs to fail with `EACCES` in that case. This fixes git-for-windows#2531. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

To handle that situation, Git's code calls `stat()` to determine whether we're looking at a directory. In such a case, `CreateFile()` will fail, though, no matter what, and consequently `mingw_stat()` will fail, too. But POSIX semantics seem to still allow `stat()` to go forward. So let's call `mingw_lstat()` for the rescue if we fail to get a file handle due to denied permission in `mingw_stat()`, and fill the stat info that way. We need to be careful to not allow this to go forward in case that we're looking at a symbolic link: to resolve the link, we would still have to create a file handle, and we just found out that we cannot. Therefore, `stat()` still needs to fail with `EACCES` in that case. This fixes #2531. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <[email protected]>

to the issue you're seeing?
I am working on a german system.
I have installed git in the directory
C:\PRGM\Git.I think I am using a windows insider build.
Details
cmd
Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example
this will help us understand the issue.
At first, I created a directory
parentwith a subdirectorychildinsideC:.Then, I restricted accessing this directory to administrators.
After that, I gave the main user full control over the
childsubdirectory.Then, I tried to clone a repository in the
childdirectory as the main user:I expected that a new directory
Hello-Worldwould be created containing a hidden.gitdirectory and a fileREADME.mdwould be created inside thechilddirectory.The cloning of the repository with the message
error: Unable to create 'C:/parent/child/Hello-World/.git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD.lock': No such file or directory(as seen in the commands section below).The directory
Hello-Worldwas not created.URL to that repository to help us with testing?
I tested it with the repository https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World but it seems to be the same with other repositories.
Notes
Zugriff verweigertmeansAccess denied(when I try to accessC:\parent(which is correct)) andVollzugriffmeansFull-controlIt works if I use the standard/linux version of git in WSL(in the same directory):
The same error occurs if I do it with git bash.
