+Subject: [PATCH 24/38] Guard read-tree index output paths
+
+<!-- agent -->
+GHSA-4gmw-gg2m-w46p reports that caller-controlled treeish arguments could
+be parsed by git read-tree as --index-output and select an arbitrary output
+path. A regression test showed that from_tree reached Git instead of raising
+UnsafeOptionError; the same unchecked path was reachable through reset and
+both merge_tree treeish positions.
+
+Add the project-standard unsafe-option guard and explicit opt-out to
+from_tree, merge_tree, and reset. Check positional and keyword candidates so
+abbreviations and alternate forwarding forms are covered before read-tree
+runs.
+
+A broader audit found only two read-tree sinks in the codebase; both are now
+guarded, and reset delegates to the guarded from_tree path. The only remaining
+index-output use is GitPython's controlled temporary index. Git cf5497b14
+confirms read-tree parses this path-taking option before tree arguments.
+Focused index tests and Ruff checks pass.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-76219
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/9b5dcaf85da5946dbf69dcd53f9edba08f760b32]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omit upstream regression test changes because the current PyPI 
+  source archive does not include its test suite.
