Update Information:
Update to 2.34.3 ([release notes](https://github.com/git/git/raw/v2.34.3/Documen
tation/RelNotes/2.34.3.txt)) This release addresses
[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.
