Error when running sensitive data removal

[tbalbone31]

Anyone know why I'm getting this issue when trying to run sensitive data removal flag?

Note I've tried both sdr and sensitive-data-removal flags. I don't get this issue when I run it without the flag. Thanks

$ git filter-repo --invert-paths --path-glob '*/.xlsx' --use-base-name --sdr

Results in:

error: unknown option `batch-command'
usage: git cat-file (-t [--allow-unknown-type] | -s [--allow-unknown-type] | -e | -p | <type> | --textconv | --filters) [--path=<path>] <object>
   or: git cat-file (--batch[=<format>] | --batch-check[=<format>]) [--follow-symlinks] [--textconv | --filters]

<type> can be one of: blob, tree, commit, tag
    -t                    show object type
    -s                    show object size
    -e                    exit with zero when there's no error
    -p                    pretty-print object's content
    --textconv            for blob objects, run textconv on object's content
    --filters             for blob objects, run filters on object's content
    --path <blob>         use a specific path for --textconv/--filters
    --allow-unknown-type  allow -s and -t to work with broken/corrupt objects
    --buffer              buffer --batch output
    --batch[=<format>]    show info and content of objects fed from the standard input
    --batch-check[=<format>]
                          show info about objects fed from the standard input

    --batch-all-objects   show all objects with --batch or --batch-check
    --unordered           do not order --batch-all-objects output

Your git version is older than 2.36.0? Looks like I required a feature from a not-so-recent git, but didn't notice and didn't update my check for git version being new enough.

Could be! I don't have control over the version but will check. Thanks for replying.
