Seems as if my distro defaults now to Python 3.13 and that
is more sensitive - or it is due a change in a newer Git module.
At least I the following new exception showed up when using
./contrib/gcc-changelog/git_check_commit.py -v -p Exception ignored in:

as if the issue is that the lifetime of the destructor exceeds the Repo
object lifetime. Others solved it in a similar way, for instance our
kernel friends ("scripts/spdxcheck: Limit the scope of git.Repo"):
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spdx/20250225-spx-v1-1-e935b27eb...@chromium.org/T/#u
At least, the exception is gone after adding a 'repo.close()' before the
function returns.

contrib/gcc-changelog: Fix Git.AutoInterrupt - sys.meta_path is None exception
I think the following message is new with Python 3.13, at least I starting
seeing the following exception, which could be fixed by a simple call
to 'repo.close()'.
Seemingly the issue was that the lifetime of the destructor exceeded the
object lifetime.
