Git itself removing an ability should tell you that it's a big deal even more than "one of the biggest git users on the planet".

And again, first line says it's a vulnerability. "it does a thing, according to someone posting to HN" is a big fat strawman.

I don't know, it really doesn't sound like a real CVE - maybe add some setting I guess for those worried? Others bring up good points, if your attacker can write to C:\ you probably have other issues.

On top of that, it breaks completely valid functionality - someones 'bug' is someone elses feature.

It's really more of a Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.
