Summary 💡

Git-for-Windows has some exceptions for the ownership checks. The home directory is accepted unconditionally (which is owned by admin instead of the user), and admin-group-owned folders are accepted if the user is an admin (helpful in environments like Github-Actions).

If this is something you would be happy to adopt, I would be happy to make a contribution

Motivation 🔦

• Allow opening repos in home directory on Windows
• Allows the check to work in GHA without extra workarounds
