OK, this is an edge case as discussed here. Running git on windows for a repo that is mounted on an APFS filesystem fails, as it's not possible to rename a 'locked' (read only) file on APFS. This workaround checks if the rename fails, and if
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY
is set, resets it before attempting the rename again. If that succeeds,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY
is applied to the renamed file.
