+Subject: [PATCH 36/38] fix: require opt-in for no-index diffs
+
+<!-- agent -->
+Treat --no-index as an unsafe diff option because it changes path operands
+from repository pathspecs to arbitrary filesystem paths. This addresses
+GHSA-whh4-5q6c-9v3x without exposing advisory reproduction details.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-87818
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/09f2cf383a992d1af697364569e9f384748c1bd8]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omit upstream regression test changes because the current PyPI
+ source archive does not include its test suite.
