PSA: git version 2.11+ is required by depot_tools users

[Andrii Shyshkalov]

If your $ git version is 2.11 or above, you can stop reading now.

Hi Chromium devs,

git cl and other tools in depot_tools will be expecting git 2.11 or higher soon.

For those using Gerrit codereview, soon is today (bug).

depot_tools has been downloading git 2.11+ on windows machines for a while, and Chrome test machines fleet has been using recent git versions to get security patches.

Thus, if you don't yet have 2.11, you should upgrade too!

Thanks,

Andrii

For Mac users: updating your xcode to latest release will bring git to 2.11

What is in 2.11 that is so important?

I just checked my ubuntu 16.4 LTS and it seems to be on git 2.7.4  Is there an expectation that those that use Linuxes that are not just released to build and install a custom git or will it too be bundled in depot_tools like in Windows?

The Chromium build documentation mentions Ubuntu 14.4, the previous LTS release but I guess that should be updated to 16.4. Either way, they will not have the right version of git so https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux_build_instructions.md should be updated.
