Looking at past commits that worked on the area this patch touches, namely, 7c83470e (mingw: be more informative when ownership check fails on FAT32, 2022-08-08) and e883e04b (mingw: provide details about unsafe directories' ownership, 2022-08-08), I would retitle the commit perhaps like so:

    Subject: [PATCH v5] mingw: give more details about unsafe directory's ownership

I probably would drop two "prompted" from the above, too, if I were doing this patch.

Thanks for working on making this error message more readable. I'll queue it when I see an Ack from Dscho.
