Description

1. Create a new Cordova project.
2. Add the project to a source control system (such as TFS) that adds the read-only attribute to the files.
3. Build the project for Android.
4. Build again.

RESULT: The second build fails because it can't overwrite an image file under platforms/android, because the file has the read-only attribute copied from the source file during the first build.

Here's output from a verbose build showing the stack trace:

Error: EPERM, operation not permitted 'D:\Projects\Test167867\platforms\android\res\drawable-land-hdpi\screen.png'

This seems to only be a problem with image files. While the read-only attribute is also copied on HTML files & scripts, the build is able to copy over them without a problem.
