safe.directory '*' is not accepted

[laktak]

Describe the bug

git works on mounted directories if you use

git config --global --add safe.directory '*'

But gitui will throw an error:

invalid path
please run gitui inside of a non-bare git repository

I can work around the issue by using

git config --global --add safe.directory /mnt/...

but I have to do this for every directory.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• run git config --global --add safe.directory '*'
• go to a mounted directory
• run git clone https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui
• cd into gitui and run git status # this will work
• run gitui # this will give an error

Expected behavior gitui should use the same options as git (if this is a problem of a dependency please let me know so I can report it there)

Context (please complete the following information):

• arch
• gitui 0.20.1 (from arch repos)

[extrawurst]

that certainly needs to be reported in upstream: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2

[laktak]

This has been fixed upstream.

[extrawurst]

waiting for git2-rs to cut a release for this: https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs/pull/935

[laktak]

Appears to be ready?

[Hpmason]

This appears to be fixed in the master branch, but the latest crates.io release still isn't fixed. For anyone still running into this issue try installing gitui from master:

cargo install --git https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui

[extrawurst]

Can someone validate if this works now since 0.25 should contain the upstream feature now

[laktak]

Yes, it works without problems, thank you!
