I started to create a PR for this issue as it is simple and then I saw in CONTRIBUTING.md
... it does not introduce unnecessary abstraction layers or modify Git's core functionality.
so I think that raising an issue to ask is more sensible.
My first attempt with this gem was to try
repo = Git.open(File.expand_path('source', __dir__))
repo.log.executeon a new and completely empty repository. This results in an exception being thrown as git log exits with a fatal error.
$ git log
fatal: your current branch 'master' does not have any commits yet
I would expect this to fail silently and return an empty array but I appreciate that this differs from the functionality of git. Is this a change that you would consider?
