Subject: mingw: be more informative when ownership check fails on FAT32
X-Git-Tag: v2.37.3~6^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7c83470e64eadab74689427fcd95e72f0a772ab5;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

mingw: be more informative when ownership check fails on FAT32

The FAT file system has no concept of ACLs. Therefore, it cannot store
any ownership information anyway, and the `GetNamedSecurityInfoW()` call
pretends that everything is owned "by the world".

Let's special-case that scenario and tell the user what's going on.

This addresses https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/3886
