From dbae075f62ecceadacc6d847e5697b9f3339b168 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Purdie Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 15:46:21 +0100 Subject: sanity: Increase minimum git version to 1.8.3.1 The kernel tools assume git > 1.7.9.5, I'm unsure of the exact version but the oldest in our infrastructure is 1.8.3.1. The git fetcher also currently has nasty workarounds for git < 1.7.9.2. Moving to 1.8.3.1 as our minimum version seems sane at this point as the oldest we're testing/supporting.
