Just to note, looking at https://repology.org/project/git/versions, 
support for Git 2.11 seems ubiquitous enough, even the next-to-last 
Trisquel release (based on Ubuntu 2020) has 2.25. And the very newest 
versions are available in Git for Windows.

And since this is an optional feature, we might as well limit ourselves 
to certain newer Git versions.
