Description

There are multiple problems whereby options have been added to git commands which are unavailable in early git versions.

git remote remove. This is not available in git < 1.8.0 - rm is an alias for it.
git config --local. This is not available in git < 1.8.0 - config is an appropriate alias.
git commit-tree -m. This is not available in git < 1.8.0 - the message can simply be passed in as a stdin.
git check-attr --cached. This is not available in git < 1.8.0. It will use the cached version in any case in 1.7 and this option is not used.
git fetch and git pull do not behave the same way in git < 2.0.0 to the way expected in merge.go.
