      <title>msysgit: access denied error for files with leading period in the name</title>
      <link>http://blog.syntevo.net/2010/05/25/1274810340000.html</link>
      <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;
In the last time my IDE (&lt;a href="http://www.jetbrains.com"&gt;IntelliJ IDEA&lt;/a&gt;) from time to time reported an "access denied" error when writing &lt;tt&gt;.classpath&lt;/tt&gt; files. The reason was that msysgit made these files hidden by default.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
In the &lt;a href="http://www.noiseandheat.com/blog/2010/02/17/the-case-of-eclipse-msysgit-and-the-obstinate-dot-files/"&gt;Noise And Heat blog&lt;/a&gt; I found the solution: one has to set the &lt;tt&gt;core.hidedotfiles&lt;/tt&gt; property to &lt;tt&gt;false&lt;/tt&gt;:
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;tt&gt;git config --global core.hidedotfiles false&lt;/tt&gt;
