Prior to Git v1.8, options and their values had to be specified in the same argument (at least, for the ones used); they could not be specified in 2 different arguments. Additionally, the format option %B was unavailable.

These issues need to be addressed to work with older versions of Git, which appear on older production systems. Case in point, CentOS 6 has only v1.7 of Git available.

Surprisingly, CentOS 5 has v1.8, as Git is supplied by EPEL, which tends to be more up to date. However, the Perl version of CentOS 5 is older than that of 6. Future testing should take these version differences into account.

Support Git v1.7

Some options used did not work with earlier versions of Git.  For example,
options with a value must be specified as a single argument.  Make small
changes to work with older versions of Git (possibly earlier than v1.7).

Issue: #38
