Correction, I have no idea what that does.

Here's the patch:

diff --git a/git-remote-testgit.py b/git-remote-testgit.py
index 9253922..1371497 100644
--- a/git-remote-testgit.py

-import hashlib
+try:
+    import hashlib
+except ImportError:
+    import ?? as hashlib
 import sys
 import os
 sys.path.insert(0, os.getenv("GITPYTHONLIB","."))



I get:

  File "<snip>/git-remote-testgit", line 6
    import ?? as hashlib
           ^
