Per the release announcement¹, these patches...
address usability issues in the recent releases 'v2.35.2',
'v2.34.2', 'v2.33.2', 'v2.32.1', 'v2.31.2', and 'v2.30.3', where
each "safe" directory has to be listed on the safe.directory
configuration variables. A broader escape hatch has been added so
that the value '*' can be used to declare "my colleagues and their
repositories I may ever visit are all trustworthy".
