    This avoids an untrusted search path condition where a file like ``git.exe`` in a
    malicious repository would be run when GitPython operates on the repository. The
    process using GitPython may have an untrusted repository's working tree as its
    current working directory. Some operations may temporarily change to that directory
    before running a subprocess. In addition, while by default GitPython does not run
    external commands with a shell, it can be made to do so, in which case the CWD of
    the subprocess, which GitPython usually sets to a repository working tree, can
    itself be searched automatically by the shell. This wrapper covers all those cases.

    :note: This currently works by setting the ``NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath``
        environment variable during subprocess creation. It also takes care of passing
        Windows-specific process creation flags, but that is unrelated to path search.

        GitPython isn't thread-safe, but a program using it on one thread should ideally
        be able to mutate :attr:`os.environ` on another, without unpredictable results.

        information (stdout).

        :param command:
            The command argument list to execute.
            It should be a sequence of program arguments, or a string. The
            program to execute is the first item in the args sequence or string.

        :param istream:
            Standard input filehandle passed to :class:`subprocess.Popen`.

        :param with_extended_output:
            Whether to return a (status, stdout, stderr) tuple.

        :param with_exceptions:
            Whether to raise an exception when git returns a non-zero status.

        :param as_process:
            Whether to return the created process instance directly from which
            streams can be read on demand. This will render `with_extended_output`
            and `with_exceptions` ineffective - the caller will have to deal with
            the details. It is important to note that the process will be placed
            into an :class:`AutoInterrupt` wrapper that will interrupt the process
            once it goes out of scope. If you use the command in iterators, you
            should pass the whole process instance instead of a single stream.

        :param output_stream:
            If set to a file-like object, data produced by the git command will be
            output to the given stream directly.
            This feature only has any effect if `as_process` is False. Processes will
            always be created with a pipe due to issues with subprocess.
            This merely is a workaround as data will be copied from the
            output pipe to the given output stream directly.
            Judging from the implementation, you shouldn't use this parameter!

        :param stdout_as_string:
            If False, the command's standard output will be bytes. Otherwise, it will be
            decoded into a string using the default encoding (usually UTF-8).
            The latter can fail, if the output contains binary data.

        :param kill_after_timeout:
            Specifies a timeout in seconds for the git command, after which the process
            should be killed. This will have no effect if `as_process` is set to True.
            It is set to None by default and will let the process run until the timeout
            is explicitly specified. Uses of this feature should be carefully
            considered, due to the following limitations:

            1. This feature is not supported at all on Windows.
            2. Effectiveness may vary by operating system. ``ps --ppid`` is used to
               enumerate child processes, which is available on most GNU/Linux systems
               but not most others.
            3. Deeper descendants do not receive signals, though they may sometimes
               terminate as a consequence of their parent processes being killed.
            4. `kill_after_timeout` uses ``SIGKILL``, which can have negative side
               effects on a repository. For example, stale locks in case of ``git gc``
               could render the repository incapable of accepting changes until the lock
               is manually removed.

        :param with_stdout:
            If True, default True, we open stdout on the created process.

        :param universal_newlines:
            if True, pipes will be opened as text, and lines are split at
            all known line endings.

        :param shell:
            Whether to invoke commands through a shell (see `Popen(..., shell=True)`).
            If this is not `None`, it overrides :attr:`USE_SHELL`.

            Passing ``shell=True`` to this or any other GitPython function should be
            avoided, as it is unsafe under most circumstances. This is because it is
            typically not feasible to fully consider and account for the effect of shell
            expansions, especially when passing ``shell=True`` to other methods that
            forward it to :meth:`Git.execute`. Passing ``shell=True`` is also no longer
            needed (nor useful) to work around any known operating system specific
            issues.

        :param env:
            A dictionary of environment variables to be passed to :class:`subprocess.Popen`.

        :param max_chunk_size:
            Maximum number of bytes in one chunk of data passed to the output_stream in
            one invocation of write() method. If the given number is not positive then
            the default value is used.

        :param strip_newline_in_stdout:
            Whether to strip the trailing ``\n`` of the command stdout.

        :param subprocess_kwargs:
            Keyword arguments to be passed to :class:`subprocess.Popen`. Please note
            that some of the valid kwargs are already set by this method; the ones you
            specify may not be the same ones.

        :return:
            * str(output) if extended_output = False (Default)
            * tuple(int(status), str(stdout), str(stderr)) if extended_output = True

            If output_stream is True, the stdout value will be your output stream:
            * output_stream if extended_output = False
            * tuple(int(status), output_stream, str(stderr)) if extended_output = True

            Note that git is executed with ``LC_MESSAGES="C"`` to ensure consistent
            output regardless of system language.
