"git branches" raised an error on Windows (Anaconda Python)

[volf52]

I am using Python 2.7.14 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit) , git version 2.15.1.windows.2 and pip show legit return Name: legit Version: 0.4.1 Summary: Git for Humans. Home-page: https://github.com/kennethreitz/legit Author: Kenneth Reitz Author-email: me@kennethreitz.com License: BSD Location: k:\anaconda2\lib\site-packages Requires: packaging, smmap2, six, GitPython, appdirs, clint, pyparsing, gitdb2, args

The command git branches returned the following error for one of my repos.

Is any more information required?

@volf52 @kennell Until a new release publishes to pypi, you have to install legit from the git repository (branch develop, see README for instructions, basically just clone the repo and install via setup.py) or roll back to an old version of git.
