…lude file When .git/info directory does not exist (can happen with bare clones or manual deletion), the Exclude function failed with 'no such file or directory'. Added os.MkdirAll to create the directory before opening the exclude file. Added integration test exclude_without_info_dir that removes .git/info before attempting to exclude a file.

Fixes #5302
Problem
When
.git/infodirectory does not exist (can happen with bare clones, manual deletion, or certain Git configurations), selecting "Add to .git/info/exclude" fails with:The
Excludefunction usedos.OpenFilewithos.O_CREATEwhich creates the file but not its parent directory.Fix
Added
os.MkdirAllto create the.git/infodirectory (with 0755 permissions) before attempting to open the exclude file.MkdirAllis a no-op if the directory already exists, so existing behavior is unchanged.Test
Added integration test
file/exclude_without_info_dirthat:.git/infodirectory during repo setup.git/info/excludeis created with the correct contentTest fails without the fix, passes with it.
Tested locally on macOS ARM (Apple Silicon). Unit tests and integration test pass.
