fix(remote): improve version check

Byron · Byron · commit 8df3dd9797c8 · 2016-05-29T10:47:06.000+02:00
Make version check much more readable, and fix it at the same time. The previous implementation would assume progress is supported just by looking at the patch-level for instance. A quick check of the git sources seems to indicate the --progress flag exists in v1.7 of the git command-line already. Fixes gitpython-developers#449
