build() only works once?

[achubaty]

perhaps this package is only intended for CI use, so this may be a moot point...

I successfully setup a drat repository using drat.builder::build() but I am unable to run build() more than once. Subsequent calls give the error below. Note, this also completely breaks the git submodule structure and breaks the repo.

> drat.builder::build()

same result on Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10.

I can't replicate this, and our workflow is repeatedly running build in the same directory so there's no reason why this should not work (see #22)

System calls are always fragile, it's unfortunate it can't report more information.

Thanks for taking a look. It's a bit annoying, but not a deal breaker for me, since I am running on CI primarily (and deleting the packages and packages_src directories as a workaround if I need to run things locally).
