Changes since RFC v3:
* Cleaner split of tests so patch1 will not break if called under sudo
  and will be less likely to break any CI by restricting its runs to
  IKNOWWHATIAMDOING=YES
* Simplified patch3 with all requested enhancements, except that it is
  still keeping the (currently unused) possibility to override the shell
  used in run_with_sudo with an optional first parameter.

Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón (3):
  t: document regression git safe.directory when using sudo
  git-compat-util: avoid failing dir ownership checks if running
    privileged
  t0034: enhance framework to allow testing more commands under sudo

Albeit not ideal, if needef patches 1 and 2 could be fastracked to close the
regression while patch 3 goes through further iterations.
