    Summary: Dulwich Arbitrary code execution via commit with directory path starting with .git

    Details: The `build_index_from_tree` function in index.py in Dulwich versions 0.9.9 and below allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a commit with a directory path starting with `.git/`, which is not properly handled when checking out a working tree.
