Fedora 31: FEDORA-2020-cdef88bb89 Critical Credential Leak Fix for Git

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an

unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations

and full access to internals.

The git rpm installs common set of tools which are usually using with

small amount of dependencies. To install all git packages, including

tools for integrating with other SCMs, install the git-all meta-package.

Security fix for CVE-2020-5260 From the upstream [release

notes](): >

With a crafted URL that contains a newline in it, the credential > helper

machinery can be fooled to give credential information for > a wrong host. The

attack has been made impossible by forbidding > a newline character in any value

passed via the credential > protocol.
