Change suggested Git version from 2.0.0 to 2.8.0
At the end of the next sub-chapter of the tutorial (Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup) we are presented with code example: `$ git config --show-origin rerere.autoUpdate file:/home/johndoe/.gitconfig false` but that function was implemented in 2.8.0 and doesn't work with git 2.0.0. I've installed git from Ubuntu repos, git ver 2.7.0, and was surprised that something didn't work, even though version used was far more up to date than 2.0.0. An alternative would be to add a warning for the reader in Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup, that `git config --show-origin` works only in 2.8.0 and later.

Though most of the commands we use should work even in ancient versions of Git, some of them might not or might act slightly differently if you're using an older version.

Since Git is quite excellent at preserving backwards compatibility, any version after 2.0 should work just fine.
