Description

I seem to see changes for notebooks I haven't touched since I installed nbstripout. Interestingly, when I uninstall nbstripout and install it again, the changes are gone. Besides general performance issue, this prevents us from adopting nbstripout as a team.

Research direction
Investigate the nbstripout installation process, especially the git filter setup. Examine the source code (e.g., `nbstripout/ init .py`) to understand how it modifies git configuration. Look at the comments in the issue for potential reproduction steps or workarounds. Verify if the issue persists with the current version of nbstripout.
