After inherited permissons were removed, apparently there were no
permissions left allowing access, and GHA recently started failing on
actions/checkout with EPERM.
I'm going to assume there's been a change in the VM image which has
triggered this failure, since it was working before...
But thanks very much for digging into the root cause of this.
Please apply.
