On Windows, a `git` command with any argument that looks like a file path is no longer treated as read-only when a gated check is switched on. Such a command then asks for your approval.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis tightens which git commands run on Windows without asking you.\n\n- Area: Windows\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
