Subject: [PATCH 2/3] mingw: handle a file owned by the Administrators group correctly
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2022 08:17:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <be06d711a1349a886cad63f8f2ec6675e6d5055e.1657700238.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.1286.git.1657700238.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

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

When an Administrator creates a file or directory, the created
file/directory is owned not by the Administrator SID, but by the
_Administrators Group_ SID. The reason is that users with administrator
privileges usually run in unprivileged ("non-elevated") mode, and their
user SID does not change when running in elevated mode.

This is is relevant e.g. when running a GitHub workflow on a build
agent, which runs in elevated mode: cloning a Git repository in a script
step will cause the worktree to be owned by the Administrators Group
SID, for example.

Let's handle this case as following: if the current user is an
administrator, Git should consider a worktree owned by the
Administrators Group as if it were owned by said user.
