git-sizer error: "running 'git config': exit status 129" about git-sizer HOT 7 CLOSED

I had the same problem running on Ubuntu 18.04.6 and git-sizer 1.5.0

git-sizer 1.4.0 works just fine

Hello, @pippim, my suggestion is to upgrade your Git, and have a try again.

@mhagger Apparently, to fix this issue, client Git should upgrade to a newer version, and README should update too.

@Cactusinhand in Ubuntu-land, the folks at Canonical will sloowwwllllyyyy upgrade to the latest Git client version. Another Ubuntu user @lastikas suggested above that downgrading to Git version 1.4 will also work. It would be nice to have a "patch" for the error message in the current version 1.5 but I can wait until it eventually works in Ubuntu.

If you're using ubuntu you can always use the git ppa to get an up to date version:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

I think that #105 should fix this problem, by avoiding the use of the newer git config features. Please let me know if it works for you! (For now you'll have to install and build it yourselves if you want to test it.)

@mhagger Thank you. Successfully downgraded to version 1.4 now.
