As you can see at the corresponding Pull Request, the patch series has
been accepted:
https://github.com/git/git/pull/1261#issuecomment-1193004345
If you follow the link to the commit
(https://github.com/git/git/commit/18bbc795fc52), you will see that it is
not yet in any official tagged version (otherwise you would see the list
of tags below the branch name).
This means that it will be part of the next release.
The current timeline for that release can be seen at
https://tinyurl.com/gitcal, the projected date for Git v2.38.0 is October
3rd, 2022.
Note: The default will still be at `safe.bareRepository = all`. I foresee
myself setting this to `explicit` via my user-wide configuration.
Potentially a future Git version will add deprecation warnings and an even
more distant Git version might switch the default. This is still up for
discussion, I believe.
Ciao,
Johannes
