I am getting ready to do some timeseries analysis on a git repo with python, my
first step is to figure out a way to list all of the git commits so that I can
analyze each one however I want. The GitPython library made this almost
trivial once I realized how.

``` python
from git import Repo

repo = Repo('.')
commits = repo.iter_commits()
```

This returns a generator, if you are iterating over them this is likely what
you want.

``` python
commits
#
```

The generator will return `git.Commit` objects with lots of information about
each commit such as `hexsha`, `author`, `commited_datetime`, `gpgsig`, and
`message`.

``` python
next(commits)
#
```
