=== Overview ===
This extension interactively removes read-only flags from files being accessed in write-mode. Normally, Mercurial would abort such operations on read-only files. The extension forces a hook/wrapping of the opener class, testing every file access for write mode and read-only flag.

=== Configuration ===
Configure your .hgrc (or Mercurial.ini on Windows) to enable the extension by adding following lines:

{{{
[extensions]
makewritable = path/to/makewritable.py
}}}
This will already install the opener hook.

=== Usage ===
Whenever Mercurial attemps to open a read-only file in write-mode, you will be prompted (via the appropriate UI's prompt method) with a message similar to this:

{{{
make '/full/path/to/readonly.file' writable? [Yna?]
}}}
You can then enter one of the following commands:

{{{
y - make the file writable
n - leave the file read-only, leads to aborting the write access

a - make all remaining files writable without further notice

? - display help
}}}
