So it is reported. The bulk of the attack code is in the Git repository,
but the line that triggers it is only in the release tarballs, according
to the report – but that means that the attacker is or was able to push
commits to Github, so at this point it would be foolish to blindly trust
the Git repository or the Github-generated tarballs.
