+Subject: [PATCH] fix: guard diff output options
+
+<!-- agent -->
+
+Reject unsafe diff options before revision parsing or Git invocation so
+callers cannot write command output to arbitrary filesystem paths.
+
+Cover commit and index diffs, including option-like revisions, and
+preserve an explicit allow_unsafe_options escape hatch.
+
+References GHSA-fjr4-x663-mwxc.
+Validated against Git baseline a23bace9.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-73624
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/1d51b891d7f236044a6aa17498ec682b63dad6e6]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omitted test/test_diff.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>
+(cherry picked from commit 1d51b891d7f236044a6aa17498ec682b63dad6e6)
