Thanks for getting back to us about this.

According to what
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=774048 says, it was
fixed upstream in version 0.21.3, and a quick inspection indeed shows
this commit between 0.21.2 and 0.21.3:

commit 928429c5c96a701bcbcafacb2421a82602b36915
Author: Vicent Martí <vicent at github.com>
Date:   Tue Nov 25 00:14:52 2014 +0100

    tree: Check for `.git` with case insensitivy

So I believe that the NVD database should be updated to indicate that
only versions up to 0.21.2 are affected.

Matt has documented at
https://elinux.org/Buildroot:Security_Vulnerability_Management how to
request updates of NVD entries, but I've never followed the process
myself.
