Bump minimum required git version to 2.32

The version choice is a little arbitrary, but see discussion at
#4559 (comment).

The main reason why I'm updating the version now is that versions before 2.27
had a bug with branch sorting, where sorting by -committerdate (which will be
our default soon) would sort branches that point at the same commit in reverse
alphabetical order rather than alphabetical order. While this is only slightly
annoying but not a huge deal for users, it makes maintaining our integration
tests across versions very hard. So I wanted to update to at least 2.27 to get
around this problem, and went with 2.32 after the discussion linked to above.

The choice of which versions to run integration tests on is pretty arbitrary
too, I just picked some at random which are about 5 to 6 minor versions apart.
