+   Git 2.30.4, 2.31.3, 2.32.2, 2.33.3, 2.34.3, and 2.35.3, Git has
+   been taught not to recognise repositories owned by other users, in
+   order to avoid getting affected by their config files and hooks.
+   You can list the path to the safe/trusted repositories that may be
+   owned by others on a multi-valued configuration variable
+   `safe.directory` to override this behaviour, or use '*' to declare
+   that you trust anything.
