This clarifies the comment that explains the significance of setting the Git.GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLE attribute when running Git failed but the attribute wasn't set before. This happens in the code path in Git.refresh where has_git is False and old_git is None, provided the refresh mode doesn't call for the initial refresh to raise an exception on failure. It was previously described in terms of a "first" and "second" import, but as discussed in gitpython-developers#1804, the rationale and effect were not altogether clear.

Thanks a lot for not giving up on finding an explanation for the previous (and unclear) wording in order to find the right way to improve it :).

I think this refactoring slightly improves clarity. + Condense/sort/group imports (while adding contextlib import). + Minor readability/style tweaks in FetchInfo.refresh comments. + Make a comment in Git.refresh clearer, building on revisions in: gitpython-developers#1810 (comment)

Fixes#1804
This clarifies the comment that explains the significance of setting the
Git.GIT_PYTHON_GIT_EXECUTABLEattribute when running Git failed but the attribute wasn't set before.This happens in the code path in
Git.refreshwherehas_gitisFalseandold_gitisNone, provided the refresh mode doesn't call for the initial refresh to raise an exception on failure.It was previously described in terms of a "first" and "second" import, but as discussed in #1804, the rationale and effect were not altogether clear. This uses wording along the lines of what I suggested there, adjusted a bit for context.
