Since commit a343a11 of PR git-lfs#1461, a number of our commands, including "git lfs pull", "git lfs push", and "git lfs track", have checked the version of the currently available Git program and reported an error if it was not at least version 1.8.2. However, when we added support for the "git lfs migrate" command in PR git-lfs#2353, the actual minimum supported version of Git was changed from 1.8.x to 1.9.0 (in commit 1d0e834) and then to 2.0.0 (in commit 5aea841). These changes were made to the Travis CI configuration in use at the time, and later migrated to our current GitHub Actions CI workflow in commit c32820806229c3f42364d989f7a8597f73cb107ba of PR git-lfs#3808. This workflow continues to run our Git LFS test suite using Git 2.0.0. More recently, in commit 1501265 of PR git-lfs#5921, we updated our README file to document that the current minimum supported version of Git we require is v2.0.0. We therefore now update the minimum Git version required by the Git LFS client to 2.0.0 by adjusting the version string defined in the requireGitVersion() function of our "commands" package.
