Hello,
I found that git-daemon stopped serving repositories managed by gitolite, i.e. by a different Unix user. Hence, no big surprise that I would get
```
git-daemon[3126249]: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/srv/git/repositories/madduck/pub/etc/ssh.git'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /srv/git/repositories/madduck/pub/etc/ssh.git
```in the logs. However, adding the config to `~gitdaemon/.gitconfig` did not have the desired effect. Neither did adding it to `~root/.gitconfig` and only `/etc/gitconfig` works.
So I checked `strace` and found that when invoked by `git-daemon`, Git doesn't even consult `~/.gitconfig`, and I think this may be a bug.
Here is the relevant strace for an access to git-daemon that triggers the above error:
``` root@alan:~# strace -fp 3146653 -e file 2>&1 | grep config [pid 3154713] access("/etc/gitconfig", R_OK) = 0 [pid 3154713] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/gitconfig", O_RDONLY) = 3 [pid 3154713] access("/etc/gitconfig", R_OK) = 0 [pid 3154713] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/gitconfig", O_RDONLY) = 4 [pid 3154713] openat(AT_FDCWD, "./config", O_RDONLY) = 4 [pid 3154713] access("/etc/gitconfig", R_OK) = 0 [pid 3154713] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/gitconfig", O_RDONLY) = 4 [pid 3154713] access("config", R_OK) = 0 [pid 3154713] openat(AT_FDCWD, "config", O_RDONLY) = 4 [pid 3154714] access("/etc/gitconfig", R_OK) = 0 [pid 3154714] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/gitconfig", O_RDONLY) = 3 [pid 3154714] access("/etc/gitconfig", R_OK) = 0 [pid 3154714] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/gitconfig", O_RDONLY) = 3 [pid 3154714] openat(AT_FDCWD, "./config", O_RDONLY) = 3 [pid 3154714] access("/etc/gitconfig", R_OK) = 0 [pid 3154714] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/gitconfig", O_RDONLY) = 3 [pid 3154714] access("config", R_OK) = 0 [pid 3154714] openat(AT_FDCWD, "config", O_RDONLY) = 3 ```
