Anything holding this back from being merged? |

It's a bit of a hack, and only handles new git repos. Ideally we'd do the same thing for local files and on sync/upgrade. But as I said it seems to work for me 🤷 |

I think this also needs requesting on sync or upgrade, in case the app/OS is updated or the permission revoked, but as that's more async I'm not sure where to do it. Just adding the manifest entry makes it possible to manually grant it for now in that case.
An alternative would be to use only app-specific directories permitted under scoped storage, or to perhaps use newer file access APIs to have the user grant fine-grained access? But those'd be larger refactors and this unblocks it for now.
This is a rebase of #910, see also #24 (comment)
