Hi Taylor,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Apologies for this being a support enquiry rather than bug report.

Yeah, it was quite a leap actually! I got confused between the core.sharedRepository and safe.directory settings.

Setting the latter in the server made it. I presume the intent of safe.directory is to have a more granular control in shared repos.

Thank-you very much,

Given that 1.8.3.1 was tagged sometime in June, 2013, I'd say that is quite the jump ;-).

This is intentional. Please see the documentation in git-config(1) on safe.directory for more information about what this check does and how to disable it (if you desire).

Thanks, Taylor
