Regression bug with latest SAFE ownership patch

[James <purpleidea@gmail.com>]

I am not a subscriber to this mailing list, so please please CC-me on replies.

I believe the recent changes for the safe ownership patch seemed to
have introduced a regression. I have a git repo which is on a shared
server that I trust and control. Adding a safe.directory does _not_
allow me to use this repo anymore. I can't even run a `git fetch`
without an error. I have renamed the repo name and directory, but
output is otherwise precise. Full logs and versions shown below:

james@computer1:~/whatever$ git remote show server2
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at
'/home/someoneelse/whatever/.git'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

    git config --global --add safe.directory /home/someoneelse/whatever/.git
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
james@computer1:~/whatever$ git config --add safe.directory
/home/someoneelse/whatever/.git
james@computer1:~/whatever$ git config --add safe.directory '*'
james@computer1:~/whatever$ git fetch server2
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at
'/home/someoneelse/whatever/.git'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

    git config --global --add safe.directory /home/someoneelse/whatever/.git
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
