Johannes Schindelin	0e7696c64d	ci: disallow directional formatting As described in https://trojansource.codes/trojan-source.pdf, it is possible to abuse directional formatting (a feature of Unicode) to deceive human readers into interpreting code differently from compilers. For example, an "if ()" expression could be enclosed in a comment, but rendered as if it was outside of that comment. In effect, this could fool a reviewer into misinterpreting the code flow as benign when it is not. It is highly unlikely that Git's source code wants to contain such directional formatting in the first place, so let's just disallow it.

ci: disallow directional formatting

As described in https://trojansource.codes/trojan-source.pdf, it is
possible to abuse directional formatting (a feature of Unicode) to
deceive human readers into interpreting code differently from compilers.

For example, an "if ()" expression could be enclosed in a comment, but
rendered as if it was outside of that comment. In effect, this could
fool a reviewer into misinterpreting the code flow as benign when it is
not.

It is highly unlikely that Git's source code wants to contain such
directional formatting in the first place, so let's just disallow it.
