Currently the spawned
gitchild processes all belong to the user/group of the parent process. This prevents using Simple Git on files owned by other uses without changing file ownership.So, support a
spawnOptionsconfiguration option that passes through supported values (justuidandgid) to thechild_process.spawncall that ultimately invokesgit.I made this work with a plugin modeled on the way custom config options get passed to the
gitcommand because that seemed like the most similar existing behavior. I am happy to switch this to the way environment variables work if that's more appropriate.
