Updating the gitdb module is understandable, but changing the package name to "gitdb2" while actually installing modules named "gitdb" is confusing. Doing so without any hint that this module overhaps deployments of gitdb is dangerous: this showed up when I was trying to RPM building this software for AWX deployment and saw the conflicts.

   A request to recover the PyPI account that owns gitdb has been made recently.
   If the account is successfully recovered, I'd like to transition back to using the original gitdb package name and have gitdb2 simply be a mirror package.
   Otherwise, if the request fails, I'll update the documentation accordingly.

   Good thanks! It confused me quite a lot when I was trying to RPM package it for the awx dependency.

   This should now be resolved with the changes detailed in #59.
   gitdb is now the name of the package again, with gitdb2 just being a mirror package that requires gitdb.

   Great, I'm glad you could resolve that.
