Git "safe directory" not working correctly

Thank you for filling out a Git bug report! Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) Upgraded to git 2.25.1.windows.1 Now when I pull from my remote I get: fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '\\bill\gitmaster\Src' So, I ran this to whitelist everything: git config --global --add safe.directory '*' However, this does NOT solve the issue! I am still getting the same 'dubious ownership' error! So... what, is this some sort of bug where UNC paths are not being recognized as safe?? Or...?

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) Pull should succeed without security errors, since I whilelisted *

What happened instead? (Actual behavior) git craps out with a 'detected dubious ownership' error.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? I cannot pull changes from my remote!

Anything else you want to add: Please provide a workaround.
