Description: Consumers of gitpython may not need to use it in all use cases, and may want to be able to run (without using gitpython) in environments where git is not available on PATH. While this can be worked around by setting the GIT_PYTHON_REFRESH environment variable, adding special handling for gitpython means that it can't be imported just like everything else in an import block at the top of the module, and environment variables have potentially undesired propagation behaviour. Previously, it was also nontrivial to distinguish gitpython failing to import because of missing git or because e.g. gitpython isn't installed at all, because the exception that's raised is an ImportError without further qualification (except in the error message). Thus, we now no longer perform refresh at the module top level. This is technically observable behaviour that could break assumptions made downstream, so I've added a changelog entry with a major version bump. I'm not sure this is "breaking enough" that you would consider it needing a major bump. Feedback both on the breakingness and on the change in principle very welcome!
