+Subject: [PATCH] Reject syntax-bearing git config option names
+
+Restrict option names to the existing safe character set.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-76221
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/a495ccd3b547ccd60b2187215823b72a9c0188bf]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omitted test/test_config.py because the current PyPI source
+ archive does not include the test suite and the python3-git
+ recipe does not run it.
+
+(cherry picked from commit a495ccd3b547ccd60b2187215823b72a9c0188bf)
