+Subject: [PATCH] Block unsafe checkout-index and tag file options
+
+GHSA-3f7w-8rr8-f37f reports that caller-controlled options forwarded by
+IndexFile.checkout() and TagReference.create() can make Git write to or read
+from arbitrary filesystem paths.
+
+Add regression coverage proving the unsafe options are rejected by default while
+preserving the explicit allow_unsafe_options escape hatch. Reuse GitPython's
+existing option candidate normalization and unsafe-option guard at both public
+API boundaries.
+
+Git baseline: a23bace963d508bd96983cc637131392d3face18.
+Documentation/git-checkout-index.adoc defines --prefix as prepending an output
+path, and Documentation/git-tag.adoc defines -F/--file as reading a tag message
+from a file.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-73620
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/3af0c2516c5e18c829da30338614688f6b69b49c]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omitted test/test_index.py, test/test_refs.py because the current PyPI
+ source archive does not include the test suite and the python3-git
+ recipe does not run it.
+
+Co-authored-by: Sebastian Thiel <sebastian.thiel@icloud.com>
