Jochen,
thanks for sharing the code changes with us.
I allowed me to
a) reconstruct the original mail,
b) add "+++" at the places where you added the stat() and chmod(),
c) and to send the question "is this a good implementation ?" to upstream git.
I think your implementation makes sense.

I'm sorry for breaking repack there. The implementation sounds
reasonably to me.
Thanks for reporting.
Do you want to prepare an upstream patch?
Thanks,

Please note that together with an exceedingly flakey internet connection,
not only having to scroll through the mail (most of which was actually not
relevant to your reply) and having to delete most parts again ate up my
complete Git time budget for today. Just something you might want to keep
in mind.

As I said in my other reply, I think that the problem would be addressed
more generally in compat/mingw.c. It is to be doubted highly that upstream
wants to handle cases such as "rename() cannot overwrite read-only files
on Windows" everywhere they call rename() because the platforms upstream
cares about do not have that problem.
So we probably need just the same _wchmod we have in mingw_unlink also in
mingw_rename.
Ciao,
Johannes

I'm not so sure. A quick test shows me that this is not the case for
NTFS. Since this is over a network-share, the problem is probably
server-side, and can affect other systems as well.
So a work-around might be appropriate for all systems, no?

I do not think that the problem occurs if you run the same commands on
Linux, on a mounted Samba share. So I guess that upstream Git can enjoy
their luxury of not having to care.
In any case, if we would need this also for Linux, doing it for only one
user of rename() would probably not be good enough, either... so something
similar to mingw_rename() would be needed (interfering with mingw_rename
itself, of course).
Ciao,
Dscho

Indeed. I was thinking of something along the lines of adding a
xrename in wrapper.c.
But you're probably right that this doesn't happen under Samba; surely
Samba would have added a work-around for such a filesystem by now. So
yeah, you've convinced me. mingw_rename is probably the place to do
that.
The work-around would probably look something like this:
diff --git a/compat/mingw.c b/compat/mingw.c
index a37bbf3..580b820 100644
--- a/compat/mingw.c
+++ b/compat/mingw.c
@@ -1697,6 +1697,14 @@ int mingw_rename(const char *pold, const char *pnew)
*/
if (!_wrename(wpold, wpnew))
return 0;
+
+ if (errno == EPERM) {
+ /* read-only files cannot be moved over on network shares */
+ _wchmod(wpnew, 0666);
+ if (!_wrename(wpold, wpnew))
+ return 0;
+ }
+
if (errno != EEXIST)
return -1;
repeat:
