Not so much dinosaurs either. I just tried on Centos 7 which isn't that
old, and got a failure. Not just from the prune-tags but from 'git
ls-remote' not supporting symref. I will come up with a solution in a
couple of days, but for now please don't deploy unless you have a fairly
modern git. If you do deploy, be prepared to roll back.
