Title:openSUSE: Security Advisory for git (openSUSE-SU-2021:2555-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'git'; package(s) announced via the openSUSE-SU-2021:2555-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'git'
package(s) announced via the openSUSE-SU-2021:2555-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This update for git fixes the following issues:

Update from version 2.26.2 to version 2.31.1 (jsc#SLE-18152)

Security fixes:

- CVE-2021-21300: On case-insensitive file systems with support for
symbolic links, if Git is configured globally to apply delay-capable
clean/smudge filters (such as Git LFS), Git could run remote code during
a clone. (bsc#1183026)

Non security changes:

- Add `sysusers` file to create `git-daemon` user.

- Remove `perl-base` and `openssh-server` dependency on `git-core`and
provide a `perl-Git` package. (jsc#SLE-17838)

- `fsmonitor` bug fixes

- Fix `git bisect` to take an annotated tag as a good/bad endpoint

- Fix a corner case in `git mv` on case insensitive systems

- Require only `openssh-clients` where possible (like Tumbleweed or SUSE
Linux Enterprise = 15 SP3). (bsc#1183580)

- Drop `rsync` requirement, not necessary anymore.

- Use of `pack-redundant` command is discouraged and will trigger a
warning. The replacement is `repack -d`.

- The `--format=%(trailers)` mechanism gets enhanced to make it easier to
design output for machine consumption.

- No longer give message to choose between rebase or merge upon pull if
the history `fast-forwards`.

- The configuration variable `core.abbrev` can be set to `no` to force no
abbreviation regardless of the hash algorithm

- `git rev-parse` can be explicitly told to give output as absolute or
relative path with the `--path-format=(absoluterelative)` option.

- Bash completion update to make it easier for end-users to add completion
for their custom `git` subcommands.

- `git maintenance` learned to drive scheduled maintenance on platforms
whose native scheduling methods are not ' cron'.

- After expiring a reflog and making a single commit, the reflog for the
branch would record a single entry that knows both `@{0}` and `@{1}`,
but we failed to answer 'what commit were we on?', i.e. `@{1}`

- `git bundle` learns `--stdin` option to read its refs from the standard
input. Also, it now does not lose refs when they point at the same
object.

- `git log` learned a new `--diff-merges= how ` option.

- `git ls-files` can and does show multiple entries when the index is
unmerged, which is a source for confusion unless `-s/-u` option is in
use. A new option `--deduplicate` has been introduced.

- `git worktree list` now annotates worktrees as prunable, shows locked
and prunable att ...
