FYI, I discovered that the issue appears to be related to the single
quotes. If I do this instead, then all repos are considered safe:
git config --global --add safe.directory *
And in a similar vein, to whitelist just the single repo I was having
an issue with, git itself says the command should be:
"
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory '\\bill\gitmaster\Src'
"
But, again, the single quotes don't allow this to work.
All the examples I've seen use single quotes. Has something regressed
w.r.t. to how single quotes are handled?
Thanks.
