[bug#71143] [PATCH v2] services: gitile: Opt out of Git safe dir check.

[Julien Lepiller]

Hi,

I think it would be better if we had safe-directory = repositories,
instead of *. Otherwise, looks good.

It seems I cheated on my server and rewrote the service to use user
"git" instead, which owns the repositories.
