Details
Git 2.43.0/2.44rc0 work with safe.directory = %(prefix)///nas/share/repo and also safe.directory = //nas/share/repo. The latter case did not work with older version of Git.
When no safe.directory is set, Git 2.43.0/2.44rc0 say:
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '//nas/share/repo'
'//nas/share/repo' is owned by:
VORDEFINIERT/Administratoren (S-1-5-32-544)
but the current user is:
XXX/XXX (S-1-5-21-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX)
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory '%(prefix)///nas/share/repo'
What is the recommended way to set safe.directory? Is the latter one a regression?
It would be great if this case (and related cases such as //wsl.localhost/) would explicitly added to the man page of git-config.
