The check for dubious ownership has one particular quirk on Windows: if running as an administrator, files owned by the Administrators _group_ are considered owned by the user. The rationale for that is: When running in elevated mode, Git creates files that aren't owned by the individual user but by the Administrators group. There is yet another quirk, though: The check I introduced to determine whether the current user is an administrator uses the `CheckTokenMembership()` function with the current process token. And that check only succeeds when running in elevated mode! Let's be a bit more lenient here and look harder whether the current user is an administrator. We do this by looking for a so-called "linked token". That token exists when administrators run in non-elevated mode, and can be used to create a new process in elevated mode. And feeding _that_ token to the `CheckTokenMembership()` function succeeds! Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> |
