Anyone running into issues stemming from the new git security patch?
Still debugging, but what I'm seeing: My GHA workflow:
Copy code
# HACK to get around new git requirement that files be owned by $USER
      # <https://github.blog/2022-04-12-git-security-vulnerability-announced/>
      - run: git config --global --add safe.directory /__w/color/color

      - name: Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 1

      - run: |
          git --version
          ./pants --version
          ./pants --changed-since=master list
Output:

git version 2.25.1
That's old. The patch is in 2.35.2: https://github.blog/2022-04-12-git-security-vulnerability-announced/
So I'm pretty sure the security patch to Git is a red herring here.

Yea. Somehow still related to the
git config --global --add safe.directory /__w/color/color
fix, but not clear exactly how/why. Will update once we iron it out.
Turns out it was actually a permission/file ownership issue. A chown made pants recognize the repo as a repo again 🤷

I thought that was the whole point of the CVE. Old Git code didn't care about perms as it walked up the dir chain looking for configs, new code does and stops the search? as soon as perms change in the walk.
