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.
