Windows ownership of git repository?

[eggbean]

I'm setting up another user account and I got this message when starting cmd/clink. I'm assuming this account was from the person who last committed to the repository, but that doesn't fit with how I think git works, so what is this about?

This isn't related to Clink or to the repos.

It's purely about local file ownership on the local machine.

An internet search for "dubious ownership in repository" finds lots of information that will help you understand and resolve the problem.

Also Security identifiers in Windows documentation can help make sense of security identifiers like S-1-5-32-544.

And Highlights from Git 2.36.
