Remote.fetch() fails.

I cut off the rest because it's lines and lines of output. I'm not sure if you need access to the problematic repo, but given that I can run git fetch from it and that I can't actually give you such access, we'll have to work from here.
Let me know what data can I give you from the result of this (there is data in the resulting repo, just not sure how consistent).

Thanks for the report.

This is a very old version and chances are that this is already fixed in version v1.0.1 from Pypi or (if not) the master branch from this repository.

Please try a newer version to see if it fixes the problem.

If you are unable to get the latest version, and if you are not interested in the return value of pricing.fetch(), you may as well call git directly using repo.git.fetch(pricing). That will definitely work and should be a suitable workaround.

Please post your findings here as you see fit.

Both the workaround you mention and the latest version work. Closing.
