On Windows, a file created by a process running in elevated mode is owned by the Administrators group (not by the user's account who would otherwise be able to modify or delete the file in non-elevated mode). Let's adjust the "safe directory" feature accordingly. Naturally, this patch series does not add a regression test (because it can't, you cannot automate elevating processes). This patch series is a companion of https://github.com/microsoft/git/pull/712.
