git name-rev --exclude is not available in git <2.13 - breaking commit history

[Ulyev-ad]

I can't view the commit history, error.

Error:

In logs:
2020/06/16 23:49:56 ...uters/repo/commit.go:311:Diff() [E] commit.GetBranchName: exit status 129 - error: unknown option exclude'

or: git name-rev [options] --all
or: git name-rev [options] --stdin

    --name-only           print only names (no SHA-1)
    --tags                only use tags to name the commits

    --all                 list all commits reachable from all refs

What version of git do you have?

[Ulyev-ad]

Oh, I forgot to update. Yes, thank you!

Which version is needed? I'm getting this error but no git updates:
git is already the newest version (1:2.11.0-3+deb9u7).

[bobemoe]

I'm using Debian 9. I've enabled the backports repo and managed to install Git 2.20.1 All is working now :)

OK I'm reopening this as git name-rev --exclude is not available in git <2.13.
