For now I've run git config --global --add safe.directory /srv/codesearch in order to unblock a deployment.

Do you know where it wrote this to? /etc/gitconfig is puppetized and I don't see it in your home directory either. But in any case, this seems fine because we trust the codesearch git repo, otherwise we're screwed anyways.

krinkle@codesearch8:/srv/codesearch$ git log
fail

krinkle@codesearch8:/srv/codesearch$ git log
success

krinkle@codesearch8:/srv/codesearch$ sudo git config --global --list
safe.directory=/srv/codesearch

krinkle@codesearch8:/srv/codesearch$ sudo git config --global --list --show-origin
file:/root/.gitconfig   safe.directory=/srv/codesearch

I ended up saving it specifically to root, which isn't ideal. git config --system -> /etc/gitconfig indeed would be a better place.

In case it helps, I've added {T335354} as a parent of this. That describes the reason why we're seeing this error in various places recently and there are a few patches linked there which might help with config management.
