Summary: Perforce versioning system fails when running sync command o

Initial Comment:
Perforce versioning system fails when running sync command on hgfs filesytem.

The problem is that perforce client uses rename operation upon a temp file 
which has read-only attributes. The operation then fails with permission denied 
(see attached test application).

The fix we have provided removes the read only attribute and retries the rename 
operation again (see attached source code and diff). The same code is already 
there (see function HgfsDelete) – probably it is a good idea to refactor the 
retry procedure.

Could you please add this fix to the upstream of the VMware tools?
Thanks a lot,
David.
