Error type: template-string

Expected behavior

Command "git rev-parse --show-toplevel" failed with code 128:

     fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/Users/steffen/work/github/garden-platform'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

	git config --global --add safe.directory /Users/steffen/work/github/garden-platform

Reproducible example

1. cd garden-platform (internal project)
2. sudo chown nobody:nobody .
3. garden validate

Workaround

Run git status to see what's wrong, and fix the issue with git.

Suggested solution(s)

Make sure we do not swallow the git error

This part wasn't fixed in #5434 / #5439 so I extracted it as a separate open issue.
