The 3.1.15 release changed at least howgit.exc.GitCommandError Errors are being generated. I have tested withstderr, but am guessing the same would be true forstdout. Previouslygit.exc.GitCommandError.stderr was a string of the error with bytes decoded, now the error is a string with bytes stringified.

repo.git.rebase Error:

• 3.1.14-stderr ="\n stderr: 'fatal: invalid upstream 'invalid_branch''"
• 3.1.15-stderr ='\n stderr: \'b"fatal: invalid upstream \'invalid_branch\'"\''

remote.push Error:

• 3.1.14-stderr ="\n stderr: 'error: src refspec invalid_branch does not match any\nerror: failed to push some refs to 'git@gitservice.com:project/repo.git''"
• 3.1.15-stderr ='\n stderr: \'b"error: src refspec invalid_branch does not match any\\nerror: failed to push some refs to \'git@gitservice.com:project/repo.git\'"\''

Steps to reproduce:

import gitexception = git.exc.CommandError(command="git rebase invalid_branch".split(), stderr=b"abc")exception.stderr

Steps to reproduce from code

import gitpath_to_repo = "my_project"repo = git.Repo(path_to_repo)local_branch = "invalid_branch"remote_branch = local_branch# Generate Error for Rebasetry:    repo.git.rebase(refspec=f"{remote_branch})"except Exception as err:    print(err.stderr)# Generate Error for Pushtry:    repo.remotes[0].push(f"{local_branch}:{remote_branch}")except Exception as err:    print(err.stderr)
