GitPython log() Error

Question

I have a problem with the method log()

repo = git.Repo(repo_path)

branch = repo.head
log = branch.log()

print log

Error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):            File "gitpython.py",

Did you update gitpython?

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GitPython-2.0.9dev0-py2.7.egg/git/refs/log.py",
line 123, in from_line        
raise ValueError("Missing token: >")        ValueError: Missing token: >

Seems to indicate something wrong in the log.py file.
