Update GitPython on Fedora 44 to improve performance and fix critical issues affecting repository interaction.
Fedora 44 updates GitPython to version 3.1.55, addressing multiple security vulnerabilities and enhancing functionality for interacting with git repositories via a high-level or lo...

Summary

GitPython is a python library used to interact with git repositories,

high-level like git-porcelain, or low-level like git-plumbing.

It provides abstractions of git objects for easy access of repository data, and

additionally allows you to access the git repository more directly using either

a pure python implementation, or the faster, but more resource intensive git

command implementation.

The object database implementation is optimized for handling large quantities

of objects and large datasets, which is achieved by using low-level structures

and data streaming.

Update to 3.1.55: Fixes GHSA-2f96-g7mh-g2hx, GHSA-v396-v7q4-x2qj, GHSA-956x-8gvw-wg5v, GHSA-rwj8-pgh3-r573, GHSA-3rp5-jjmw-4wv2, GHSA-r9mr-m37c-5fr3, GHSA-fjr4-x663-mwxc, GHSA-6p8h-3wgx-97gf, and GHSA-94p4-4cq8-9g67.
