The new git security rules creates an issue on Windows systems where the git repository is hosted in a shared folder.
$ git status
``` fatal: unsafe repository ('//192.168.0.120/config/' is owned by someone else) To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory //192.168.0.120/config/ ```
$ git config --global --add safe.directory //192.168.0.120/config/ $ git status
``` warning: encountered old-style '//192.168.0.120/config/' that should be '%(prefix)//192.168.0.120/config/' fatal: unsafe repository ('//192.168.0.120/config/' is owned by someone else) To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory //192.168.0.120/config/ ```
There seems to be no way to add a shared drive path to the safe directory list.
