Proposed Changes

Use the Python Git library dulwich in the GitBackend class instead of invoking the external Git binary.

Justification

  • More control over the dependency as Git is usually installed by the OS
  • Smaller image size with Netbox Docker image

Makes sense to me. Dulwich seems like a mature product, and I'd love to obviate use of the binary client. @tobiasge would you like to put in a PR with your proposed changes?
