gitpy may be stuck if executing a git command that returns a lot of output #7

I'm running getNewCommits to get the difference between two branches. The branches differ by 1782 commits. The command gets stuck, because it runs a "git" command that returns a lot of output, and Popen doesn't handle large output.

gitpy is no longer actively maintained. I strongly recommend GitPython (https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython), which has a pure-python object access layer, and implements streaming of large objects more efficiently...
