gto describe fails on windows 10 python 3.11

[fortminors]

Hello! I am using DVC with GTO to build model registry.

I am currently working on Windows 10 machine (on linux, ubuntu it works well)

I am trying to download the model through dvc get but I fail before that using gto describe. It says that maybe the cause is that I am using python 3.9, but I am actually on python 3.11

Here is what I am doing: Please help! @aguschin

$ gto doctor

🪴  GTO Version: 0.2.7

$ gto --traceback describe --repo https://<user>:<token>@gitlab.com/<repo_url>.git <model_name>@latest

Hi @fortminors! Yep, it looks like some windows problems.

I won't be fixing this, since we're dropping gto describe #346 soon, and we're going to introduce simply dvc get $REPO :<model_name>, but that will take a few weeks.

For now the workaround for you would be running git clone and working with the cloned repo.

The other workaround maybe could be changing reading/writing rights on C:\\Users\\<user>\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\, but I don't have a windows machine myself and can't check how to make it work.

I found this issue explaining the same problem and suggesting the same solution, maybe it's a solution indeed https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61409100/permission-error-cloning-git-repository-in-temporary-folder

But if we're to apply SO suggestion exactly, we need to make an update to GTO codebase - and I don't think we need that generally due to soon describe deprecation. If you want to contribute a fix, I would be happy to merge/release it though.

Got it, thank you for your suggestions! I will try it out
