What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue) Hi, i tried to clone a repository with submodules from a program running with the suid/guid bit set. What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior) It should clone the repository, with the submodules, with permissions from the owner of the suid program. What happened instead? (Actual behavior) git fails with a permissions error: ``` error: could not lock config file /path/to/.git/config: Permission denied fatal: Failed to register url for submodule path ``` What's different between what you expected and what actually happened? Cloning failed when fetching submodules (--recursive). However, it only works without submodules. Anything else you want to add: I could reproduce the bug on the next branch. I have a small reproduction case. It's a rust program, but the code is a bit more convoluted so it works without any dependency (just the standard library).
