Description
I refactored the code that was previously using pygit2 to use gitPython. Users can now specify a particular branch or tag and get the corresponding version of the project directly. I measured the performance and saw a download speed improvement of over 65%, as shown in the image attached below. (The project being measured is the babel project).
