This package's Prerequisites have been brought up to date.
Since Celo Composer uses the sparse-checkout command, if the user doesn't have the latest version of git, it will throw an error:
error: failed to initialize sparse-checkout
I got this error, so I thought I should let other users who might get it know. I couldn't figure out at which version of git this error stopped happening, so I added version as 2.38 or higher. The most recent version of git is v2.38.
After doing some research, I think users won't get this error if they have version 2.26.3 or higher. As in this version, the sparse-checkout command had some changes [ref], but I couldn't double-check it.
Context
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL. If a user of Ubuntu 20.04 uses apt-get to update git, they will get version 2.25.1. By using the git-core PPA to update your git version, you will get the latest version, which is 2.38.
