Maximilian Bosch 1849e6a1f6 libfetchers/git: fix every occasion of a permission error I'm afraid I missed a few problematic `git(1)`-calls while implementing PR #6440, sorry for that! Upon investigating what went wrong, I realized that I only tested against the "cached"-case by accident because my git-checkout with my system's flake was apparently cached during my debugging. I managed to trigger the original issue again by running: $ git commit --allow-empty -m "tmp" $ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .# -L --builders '' Since `repoDir` points to the checkout that's potentially owned by another user, I decided to add `--git-dir` to each call affecting `repoDir`. Since the `tmpDir` for the temporary submodule-checkout is created by Nix itself, it doesn't seem to be an issue. Sorry for that, it should be fine now.		2022-04-30 15:56:12 +02:00
