Update Information:
Update to 2.36.0 ([release notes](https://github.com/git/git/raw/v2.36.0/Documen
tation/RelNotes/2.36.0.txt)) Among the changes, this release includes changes
to address [CVE-2022-24765](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/CVE-2022-24765). Per
the release announcement: > On multi-user machines, Git users might find
themselves unexpectedly in a Git worktree, e.g. when another user created a
repository in `C:\.git`, in a mounted network drive or in a scratch space.
Merely having a Git-aware prompt that runs `git status` (or `git diff`) and
navigating to a directory which is supposedly not a Git worktree, or opening
such a directory in an editor or IDE such as VS Code or Atom, will potentially
run commands defined by that other user. A broad "escape hatch" is available
in
cases where all the repositories you may enter are considered safe, regardless
of their ownership. Quoting another release announcement: > `*` can be used as
the value for the `safe.directory` variable to signal that the user considers
that any directory is safe.
