 - Do not rename read-only files during a push

Supposedly fixes pack file renames on Windows, but it makes the
test suite fail on Linux.  I haven't debugged why yet.

I am kind of surprised that it actually passes the test on Windows, which
implies that these cats shown in the patch to fix this breakage below do
not honor ro-ness of the file, which in turn makes me doubt if making the
resulting packfiles read-only has any effect on that platform whatsoever..
