Update Information:
Security fix for CVE-2021-21300 A specially crafted repository that contains
symbolic links as well as files using a clean/smudge filter such as Git LFS, may
cause just-checked out script to be executed while cloning onto a case-
insensitive file system such as NTFS, HFS+ or APFS. Note that clean/smudge
filters have to be configured in advance, in the system-wide or global user
configuration for this bug to be exploited. This issue does not affect Fedora
in default configurations. For further details, please refer to the [upstream
