Security fix for CVE-2021-21300
A specially crafted repository that contains symbolic links as well as files using a clean/smudge filter such as Git LFS, may cause just-checked out script to be executed while cloning onto a case-insensitive file system such as NTFS, HFS+ or APFS. Note that clean/smudge filters have to be configured in advance, in the system-wide or global user configuration for this bug to be exploited.
This issue does not affect Fedora in default configurations.

Thanks for testing everyone.
I was hoping to keep this in updates testing for a bit longer. The update is from 2.29 to 2.30 and while I don't anticipate any issues with that, there are a lot of use-cases I could miss.
The security issue being resolved does not affect the overwhelming majority of Fedora users and is not urgent enough warrant pushing this to stable after less than a full day in the testing repo.
In the future, i'd appreciate a heads up before an update is pushed to stable. I disabled the autopush explicitly. Thanks.
