pygit2 does not respect a global setting of safe.directory='*'

We are currently working with dvc for multiple projects and the dvc exp run leads to a pygit2 exception on a azure machine learning instance. This leads to problems since folders on mounted drives in azure belong to user root whilst the working user is azureuser The exception looks like following:

_pygit2.GitError: /mnt/batch/tasks/shared/LS_root/mounts/clusters/<XXX>/.git/: repository path '/mnt/batch/tasks/shared/LS_root/mounts/clusters/<XXX>' is not owned by current user

A workaround for this problem should be setting the git safe.directory to ='*'.
But unfortunately this does not work with dvc resp. pygit2.

I narrowed the problem down and was able to reproduce it with pure pygit2.
Since it seems to be a pygit2 problem, I am opening the issue directly here.
FYI @efiop, @skshetry, @dmpetrov

My git config looks as follows:

user.email=<XXX>
user.name=<XXX>
safe.directory=*

With my normal git (git version 2.36.1) everything works great with the wildcard *. But pygit2 seems to ignore this config.

import pygit2
repo = pygit2.Repository(pygit2.discover_repository('.'))

GitError: /mnt/batch/tasks/shared/LS_root/mounts/clusters/<XXX>/.git: repository path '/mnt/batch/tasks/shared/LS_root/mounts/clusters/<XXX>/' is not owned by current user

But the config seems to be loaded:

import pygit2
config = pygit2.Config()
for x in config.get_global_config():
    print(x.name + ":" + x.value)

user.email:<XXX>
user.name:<XXX>
safe.directory:*

Used Versions: pygit2 1.10.0

Any help would be really appreciated, since we can't run experiments anymore.

Comienza con la reproducción pura de pygit2 usando pygit2.Repository y compárala con la salida de Config global mostrada para safe.directory=*. Investiga la comprobación de propiedad del repositorio en pygit2 1.10.0 y verifica el comportamiento frente a Git 2.36.1. Se considera completado cuando una configuración global de safe.directory con comodín permite abrir el repositorio reproducido sin el error de propiedad.
