That explains how you worked around VC's limitation, but I'd be
interested to hear about how you ended up in a state where you
bumped into VC's limitation. I.e. how come your /foo/bar/ is owned
by a different user than /foo/ even though they're both part of the
same Git tree?
In this case, the directory was in /, / is always owned by root, and
/.git was owned by ams. I suspect this only crops up in system wide
git trees, like /etc is owned by root, and then you have another user
create /etc/.git to manage /etc.
