** [tickets:#8200] Update GitPython to support git >= 2.15**
**Status:** open
**Milestone:** unreleased
**Created:** Mon Apr 30, 2018 04:23 PM UTC by Dave Brondsema

With Git >= 2.15 we get errors like `TypeError: PackingType of packed-Refs not
understood: '# pack-refs with: peeled fully-peeled sorted'` which is fixed in a
newer version of GitPython:
https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/issues/687
https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/pull/689
That will be a big upgrade so we should so thorough testing. Also we should
try to get some GitPython fixes merged into upstream if they haven't yet. At
https://github.com/johnsca/GitPython/tree/sf-master there are fixes for
[#5411], [#6000], [#6078], and [#7021]. (SourceForge uses a custom build that
includes those fixes, but Allura's requirements.txt version doesn't include
those)
