Error: fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository

[t4k]

Describe the bug
Using default_author: github_actions as the docs describe with actions/checkout and I'm getting an error that includes:

> Using 'github-actions <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>' as author.
...
Error: Error: fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/__w/overtime/overtime'

(Seems like the same issue as #556)

Workflow used
I think is is enough to debug:

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
...
      - name: Commit Changes
        uses: EndBug/add-and-commit@v9
        with:
          remove: '--ignore-unmatch --quiet -- content/pages/*.html'
          default_author: github_actions
          message: '🌀 track changes to page content'

Expected behavior
Changes to be committed and github-actions[bot] to be seen as the the author.

I did not include my whole workflow and I am running this in a container. I had to use options: --user 1001 in the container configuration.

Figured out via actions/checkout#1048 (comment) and actions/runner#2033 (comment).
