There seems to be some change in behavior, either to included files or
to safe.directory between Git 2.36.0 and 2.38.0. I don't see any
explanation in the release notes.
I push out a system configuration with a configuration management tool
which is why it is in a separate file.
If I put the safe.directory configuration in the main system config,
it works. I don't understand why this is because the value is still
shown when running a config list.
Basic config:
[root@myhost myproject]# pwd
/opt/myproject
[root@myhost myproject]# cat /etc/gitconfig
[include]
path = /etc/gitconfig.d/myproject
[root@myhost myproject]# cat /etc/gitconfig.d/myproject
[safe]
directory = /opt/myproject
With the old version:
[root@myhost myproject]# git --version
git version 2.36.0
[root@myhost myproject]# git config --list --show-scope
system include.path=/etc/gitconfig.d/myproject
system safe.directory=/opt/myproject
local core.repositoryformatversion=0
local core.filemode=true
local core.bare=false
local core.logallrefupdates=true
local remote.origin.url=git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:me/myproject.git
local remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
local branch.master.remote=origin
local branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master
[root@myhost myproject]# git pull
Already up to date.
[root@myhost myproject]#
After the upgrade:
[root@myhost myproject]# git --version
git version 2.38.0
[root@myhost myproject]# git config --list --show-scope
system include.path=/etc/gitconfig.d/puppet
system safe.directory=/opt/myproject
[root@myhost myproject]# git pull
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/opt/myproject'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /opt/myproject
[root@myhost myproject]#
