Your git version is 1.8, but Rally requires at least git 1.9

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
3

Hey thanks for the quick reply.
I was able to confirm that git version as root user is again 1.9

[root@es-perf-01 ~]# git --version
git version 1.9.5

And when I remove 'sudo' from the command, I get another error, which is similar to this - Could not clone from 'https://github.com/elastic/rally-tracks'.
But as opposed to the OP of that post, I can git clone just fine.

[anuj@es-perf-01 ~]$ esrally --distribution-version=6.0.0 --track=geopoint --challenge=append-fast-with-conflicts
