Unable to check file attributes for hidden flag on Windows OS

[nelsonni]

Describe the bug
In order to resolve #113 on Windows OS, the io.isHidden function has been added to abstract away the details for determining if a filepath points to a hidden file:

synectic/src/containers/io.ts

Lines 51 to 58 in c0f9457

	export const isHidden = (filepath: fs.PathLike): boolean => {
	const isWindows = process.platform === 'win32';
	if (isWindows) {
	return extractFilename(filepath).startsWith('.');
	} else {
	return shouldBeHiddenSync(filepath.toString());
	}
	}

This function is meant to be a temporary shim to circumvent the fact that the hidefile package currently fails when attempting to read file attributes on Windows OS platforms (see stevenvachon/hidefile#3). There are currently no alternative packages that are known to properly read file attributes on Windows OS, so until the hidefile package is patched this issue will remain open.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Synectic Version: 1.0.0-beta (branch: development)

Additional context
The io.isHidden function was added in #359, and additional discussion details can be found within that PR.

This issue is no longer relevant and has been superseded by switching to using find-up::findUp instead of isomorphic-git::findRoot in getRoot in v3.0.0. Per the discussions in #359, the issue was primarily occurring when the getRepoRoot function (now called getRoot) would read an empty directory on Windows. This appeared to have been occurring when getStatus was called, which is now also transitioned to using git directly instead of isomorphic-git.
