… git directory' 'git status' prints a more informative error message than other git commands in certain failure scenarios, specifically including when the workspace is not owned by the user executing 'git'. Hopefully printing this extra error message will make it more obvious to operators what is going on if they encounter this kind of failure.

Looks like Codecov is complaining about the fallback code not being tested. This isn't the kind of thing I would typically write a test for, so I'll probably hold off on doing so until I get some feedback about whether this change would be welcome or not. If it's welcome and just needs to be tested, I'll follow up! |

Git requires that a repository directory be owned by the user executing
git. In the normal case, it will print a messagewhich is easily searchable online, but unfortunately
git configdoes not print such a nice message, and simply printswhich is misleading and hard to diagnose.
This came up for us when running Scala Steward as a AWS Fargate task using AWS EFS as its persistent storage. We configured the task to mount the EFS volume using UID 1001, which is the default UID for sbt-native-packager Docker containers, but in fact, Scala Steward current runs as root (#3283). While looking into the issue, we noticed that the article titled Running scala-steward periodically on AWS Fargate no longer exists, so this PR also removes that link from the documentation. (Hopefully we'll be able to publish some details about how we're running Scala Steward using Fargate as a replacement!)
