👋 We're hitting the same issue now that brew is upgrading our users' git to 2.15. Any way we could get a 2.1.8 release out with this patch?

Reacted by Andreu Belmonte, Dmitrii Shamrikov and Ryan FisherReacted by yachiOr install packaged version in your $distro which has patch :P
I am closing this issue in preparation for the next release, which contains the fix. I am sorry for having let you wait for so long!
Rather than closing in preparation for the release, would you consider re-opening and then closing once the release is available? That way those of us who subscribe to notifications on this issue will be alerted to the availability of the new release.
Reacted by Nick Klauer, Greg A. Woods and Russell McClellanThanks @Byron ! I appreciate it :)
@truthdoug I totally agree, and fortunately the waiting is over now: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/GitPython

on Feb 9, 2018 I hit this issue and have limited control of getting the upgrade -- if anyone is in a similar situation you can workaround it by calling repo.git.tag().

I guess the "sorted" token can be safely ignored;
_iter_packed_refs()could probably be somewhat improved by adding a whitelist of supported tokens, the current code looks a bit fragile (but then, I don't know what the syntax and semantics for the packed-refs header is).
