[PATCH v2 3/5] mingw: provide details about unsafe directories' ownership

["Johannes Schindelin via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

When Git refuses to use an existing repository because it is owned by
someone else than the current user, it can be a bit tricky on Windows to
figure out what is going on.

Let's help with that by providing more detailed information.
