Addendum: given a known good repo, an infected repo can be detected by diffing all elements of the repo. A parallel hash scheme with a strong hash function (SHA-3 at this point) could be used, which would easily detect if parties have differing histories by comparing commit hashses using both schemes (both should match!)
We should assume that nation state adversaries may have known this for a while - whether they have acted on it remains to be seen. I suspect it is unlikely for git because it is measurable after the fact (unless you contaminate every instance) I'd be more worried about signing schemes.
