GIT ASSERT ERROR - Uncaught AssertionError in fun.py line 210

[kenny-kvibe]

Everything is fine, it's a repo-index version assertion, not a git version assertion.

This was very confusing because assert is on (1, 2) values and I have Git 2, but then I figured it's not about that.

• The issue happened if I initialized an empty git repo with git init and then started aider.
• Furthermore I tried commiting an empty .gitignore before starting aider and only then
  aider pointed out that it only works with git repos with version number 1 or 2
• The solution is to not start aider with an empty (uncommited) git repo, but rather just with an empty directory,
  or if it's a git repo make sure it has a commit and is correct index-ver.
