CI: still seeing "fatal: unsafe repository"

[cbm755]

fatal: unsafe repository ('/home/jovyan/octsympy' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:
	git config --global --add safe.directory /home/jovyan/octsympy

Maybe we need to git config as well (or instead) of sudo git config... At least I don't think that "global" thing means "all users". More like "all repos"

The current situation is kind of awkward and complicated. Since actions/checkout#760 is now closed (it was still opened when we introduced the workarounds if I recalled correctly), one might think the issue should have been resolved.

Unfortunately, testing seems to suggest otherwise. The situation can be summarized using the following tables:

Previous results	bist	doctests	*pythonic*
w/o workarounds	failed to build with "fatal: unsafe repository"	failed to build with "fatal: unsafe repository"	(no such tests)
w/ workarounds	build successfully w/o "fatal: unsafe repository"	build successfully but show "fatal: unsafe repository"	(no such tests)

Current results (before merging ci_pkg_uninst)	bist, doctests	bist-pythonic, doctests-pythonic
w/o workarounds	build successfully but show "fatal: unsafe repository"	failed to build with "fatal: unsafe repository"
w/ workarounds	build successfully but show "fatal: unsafe repository"	build successfully w/o "fatal: unsafe repository"

Current results (after merging ci_pkg_uninst)	bist	doctests	pythonic-dist-doctest
w/o workarounds	failed to build with "fatal: unsafe repository"	build successfully but show "fatal: unsafe repository"	failed to build with "fatal: unsafe repository"
w/ workarounds	build successfully w/o "fatal: unsafe repository"	build successfully w/o "fatal: unsafe repository"	build successfully w/o "fatal: unsafe repository"

Was that before or after c6edc2a? I thought that cleaned up some of the messages.

[alexvong243f]

Yeah, there was before c6edc2a, I was looking at the main branch only. I'll update the tables.

Let's merge that PR first.
