Git and pseudo

[Mike Looijmans <mike.looijmans@topic.nl>]

Recently GIT got updated with a security fix:

https://github.blog/2022-04-12-git-security-vulnerability-announced/


The problem is that this causes all "git" tasks that run within pseudo 
(most noticably, image recipes) to fail. In many repositories, we use:
git rev-parse --verify HEAD > /etc/revision

Or something similar to that. After the GIT update, this now fails with 
an error like:

'''
fatal: unsafe repository ('/home/mike/repository/path' is owned by 
someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:

     git config --global --add safe.directory /home/mike/repository/path
'''

Apart from doing as it says, or even "git config --global --add 
safe.directory '*'" anyone have a better idea, especially one that 
prevents the system thinking I'm someone else (root in the case of pseudo).
