"Permission denied" error: cabal v2-clean + windows + source-repository-package

[jneira]

Describe the bug

• In a project with a source-repository-package, after whatever command that triggers the checkout of the remote package, a cabal v2-clean fails with:

D:\dev\ws\haskell\hls\dist-newstyle\src\cabal-plan-42253b883cc08e6b\.git\objects\pack\pack-c3bf961b7416d8452ca36187ab82474e84f77980.pack: removeDirectoryRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:removeContentsRecursive:removePathRecursive:DeleteFile "\\\\?\\D:\\dev\\ws\\haskell\\hls\\dist-newstyle\\src\\cabal-plan-42253b883cc08e6b\\.git\\objects\\pack\\pack-c3bf961b7416d8452ca36187ab82474e84f77980.pack": permission denied (Acceso denegado.)

• rmdir .\dist-newstyle -for -rec deletes the directory succesfully

To Reproduce

> cabal v2-build any-pkg-with-source-repo-package
> cabal v2-clean

Expected behavior

cabal clean should delete the directory dist-newstyle

System information

• Operating system: windows 10
• cabal-3.2.0.0, ghc-8.8.3
• git version: 2.27.0.windows.1

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

$ mkdir some-dir
$ cd some-dir
$ cabal init -n
$ cat cabal.project
packages: ./

source-repository-package
  type:git
  location: https://github.com/pepeiborra/ekg-json
  tag: 7a0af7a8fd38045fd15fb13445bdcc7085325460

Now run the commands:

$ cabal v2-build
$ cabal v2-clean

[avently]

Any news about this issue? Actually, it stops from building on Windows (happens with cabal build).
dist-newstyle/src/somePackage/.git/modules/someModule/objects/pack/packFileName.pack has permissions r-r-r, which means it can not be deleted by "directory" package, see for more info:
commercialhaskell/stack#2426
If you want to build, you have to delete such pack file yourself or at least make it writable. All builds in Github actions fails and need workaround to be applied.
