Bitten slave can't remove svn checkout directory on Windows

[J. Kyllo <jkyllo-trac@…>]

On windows, the contents of the .svn directories are read-only. Although as a user, I can delete these files forcibly, the shutil.rmtree function simply fails with an OSError of "permission denied". Manually changing one of these files to remove the read-only flag allowed rmtree to remove that file. One possible solution to this is to give shutil.rmtree an error handler that, on a permission denied OSError, will retry the removal after using os.chmod() to clear the read-only flag for the file in question. Something along these lines:

def errfunc(func, path, excinfo):

e = excinfo[1] if e.errno == 13:

if e.filename:

import stat os.chmod(path, stat.S_IWRITE) func(e.filename)

else:

raise

else:

raise

shutil.rmtree(basedir, False, errfunc)

That seems a little hacky but hopefully it gets the idea across.

Appears to be duplicate of #211, which has a patch to fix the problem.

I believe that is correct and this ticket can likely be closed. Thank you.
