From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@xxxxxx> The FAT file system has no concept of ACLs. Therefore, it cannot store any ownership information anyway, and the `GetNamedSecurityInfoW()` call pretends that everything is owned "by the world". Let's special-case that scenario and tell the user what's going on, at least when they set `GIT_TEST_DEBUG_UNSAFE_DIRECTORIES`.
