I'm a user of gitui and the owner says the following bug should be reported here (see gitui-org/gitui#1293). I hope it's OK that the repro steps are done using gitui.

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)
