When scanning some repos. (This one crashes half way through, This one crashes at startup)

I haven't tried running it in windows, I'll spin up a VM later today and see what I can do

[dxa4481]

I changed the way the temp files are being used, can you try again and see if you still get the error?

Neither repository is throwing exceptions for me currently.

I'm still getting the access is denied

The problem is in the git module, it's holding open the file handles and I've found no way to close them without monkeypatching the git module.

I work around the problem by not bothering to delete the temporary directories:

    try: # This delete will fail in Windows when the repo object does not release its file handles
        shutil.rmtree(project_path)
    except Exception as e:
        pass

[bandrel]

its a combination of holding the directory open and shutil.rmtree() not being able to remove read only files. The pr should fix both issues.

Just cloned the repo and started it in cygwin. I get this error:

I did not test in cygwin, but i'm having trouble installing the dependencies in cygwin with having them installed outside of cygwin. Could you, @leozulfiu, please test my PR #15 to see if it fixes your issue?

[dxa4481]

closing bc I think #15 took care of this

I am still facing this issue when deleting directory via python in windows

				os.rmdir(os.path.join(root, name))
	except Exception,ex:

	print "Finished deleting local directory"

Currently having the same issue against a local repo.

I even set TEMP folder permissions on windows to Everyone Full to rule out weird folder permission errors. I also am running it as administrator as well.

This is still happening for me on linux. .git/objects/pack has d-w------- permissions and --cleanup fails with: OSError: [Errno 39] Directory not empty: pack and
IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/tmp/tmpsdfhskj32342/.git.objects/pack'
