I haven’t tried it but that patch seems to make sense to me, although I found
another related issue so it might need tweaking. When running `git diff` in a
repo owned by another user, the warning message says that this is not a git
repository, instead of the warning shown by other git commands about
"dubious ownership". To reproduce:

sudo mkdir repo
cd repo
sudo git init
git diff
