`RuntimeError` when calling `Version.from_any_vcs()` in newly-cloned repository

I called Version.from_any_vcs().serialize() in a newly cloned repository (specifically https://github.com/JaimeCalzadaNOAA/adcircpy), but get error: unknown option 'merged'

oh never mind, it's because the version of Git on this machine is 1.8.3.1, and the current version is 2.25.1

I assume that this project doesn't want to support arbitrary old versions of Git (I wouldn't) so I'll just close this issue

The minimum version currently is 2.7.0. If there were a super simple drop-in replacement for earlier compatibility, I'd be open to it, but it can definitely get complicated trying to be too compatible 😅
