Hi,
during testing the newest security releases in RHEL and in Fedora, we
have encountered broken git-daemon behavior. In a nutshell, git client
refuses to clone locally hosted repositories because of detected
dubious ownership.
I'll paste part of the Fedora report [0] here:
```
Upon clone, git-daemon logs the following:
[1482] Connection from ::1:45090
[1482] Extended attribute "host": localhost
[1482] Extended attribute "protocol": version=2
[1482] Request upload-pack for '/test.git'
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/var/lib/git/test.git'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /var/lib/git/test.git
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create repository under /var/lib/git/test.git
2. Ensure git.socket systemd unit is started
3. Run git clone git://localhost/test.git
Actual Results:
git server refuses to read /var/lib/git/site.git because it detects dubious
ownership
```
Is there a way to make git-daemon hosted repositories safe to clone,
without specifying safe.directory in git config? AFAIK this is widely
used feature of Git not only by the end users, but also quite a lot of
tests rely on it.
