I would like to register a vote for advancing this into v2.34.0, still. It
is not only technically a regression, it bit me in Git for Windows'
automation. If my experience is any indication, that change of behavior
would not be welcome among Git users, and it would be preferable to
publish v2.34.0 without this regression.
