The new git security rules creates an issue on Windows systems where
the git repository is hosted in a shared folder.
$ git status
```
fatal: unsafe repository ('//192.168.0.120/config/' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory //192.168.0.120/config/
```
$ git config --global --add safe.directory //192.168.0.120/config/
$ git status
```
warning: encountered old-style '//192.168.0.120/config/' that should
be '%(prefix)//192.168.0.120/config/'
fatal: unsafe repository ('//192.168.0.120/config/' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory //192.168.0.120/config/
```
There seems to be no way to add a shared drive path to the safe directory list.

This (instruction clarification) is being discussed / sorted at
[git-for-windows/git] Include trailing slash in prefix migration
instructions (PR #3790)
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/3790
The key point being that for a `//server` path you will need three
slashes. (IIUC) One for magic prefix string, and then two as part of the
server name.
There is now also the `*` option that permits all as safe directories.
Worth checking how the user and group security is being handled locally,
especially for accidental failures.
