+Subject: [PATCH] fix: preserve multiline config values when writing
+
+<!-- agent -->
+GitConfigParser decoded valid multiline values into embedded newlines, but
+_write() serialized those newlines as indented physical lines. Rewriting an
+otherwise unchanged config could therefore change its meaning to Git.
+
+Serialize resident multiline values with Git-compatible escapes inside a
+quoted continuation, preserving GitPython read compatibility while keeping
+each option structurally intact. This addresses GHSA-284h-m62q-gf8w.
+
+The regression starts with an inert multiline value, performs an unrelated
+write, and verifies with both GitPython and git config that it remains one
+value and does not create another option.
+
+Git baseline: config.c parse_value() and write_pair() at cf5497b14c5a escape
+embedded LF as \\n rather than emitting it as a physical config line.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-78676
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/4b4e47fc1224e23b0c8ee7220a7192818f2e4abb]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Commit 47e5738074e7 is an earlier prerequisite for this serialization
+  change. Its reader-side empty-string guard prevents IndexError when
+  reading serialized config values.
+- Omitted test/test_config.py changes from both upstream commits;
+  the recipe source archive excludes the test suite and the recipe
+  does not run it.
