This test script depends on the git-remote-testgit python script.  This
python script makes use of the hashlib module which was released in python
version 2.5.  So, add a new pre-requisite named PYTHON_2_5_OR_NEWER to
test-lib.sh and check for it in t5800.

Perhaps instead we can change git-remote-testgit to do:

"try:
import hashlib
except ImportError:
import ?? as hashlib
"

I can only guess at what that does. :)

Otoh, python 2.5 has been out for a while (and is in fact only
downloadable as a source-only release these days). To be exact, it was
released on September 19, 2006.

That's only long in python years. :)

RedHat's latest operating system still has version 2.4.3.
