Packages in this update:

git-2.37.1-1.fc35

Update description:

Update to 2.37.1 (CVE-2022-29187)

From the release notes for 2.30.5:

This release contains minor fix-ups for the changes that went into
Git 2.30.3 and 2.30.4, addressing CVE-2022-29187.

* The safety check that verifies a safe ownership of the Git
worktree is now extended to also cover the ownership of the Git
directory (and the `.git` file, if there is any).

Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belón (1):
setup: tighten ownership checks post CVE-2022-24765

Further details are available in the upstream advisory.

Additionally, from the release notes for 2.37.1:

* Rewrite of “git add -i” in C that appeared in Git 2.25 didn’t
correctly record a removed file to the index, which is an old
regression but has become widely known because the C version has
become the default in the latest release.

Last, but not least, are the usual bugfixes and improvements found since the 2.35 and 2.36 release. For details, refer to the release notes for 2.36.0 and 2.37.0.
