[PATCH] sanity.bbclass: Update minimum git version to 1.7.8

[PATCH] sanity.bbclass: Update minimum git version to 1.7.8

[Richard Purdie]

To quote "Maxin B. John" <maxin.john@enea.com>:

git version 1.7.8 added the --list option to git-branch. Since we depend on this
option in git.py, the minimum requiremnt for git should be updated to Git
1.7.8+
