Proposed patch

A recent commit[1] in the git downloader uses the "--no-patch" option, which
appeared on git 1.8.4. Systems with older git versions show an error and fall
back to the wget downloader, which isn't suitable for all the cases.

I'm attaching a one-line patch which uses a "git log" variant and works on
older systems.
