Dear all,
Can you support me in going over the below error during bench update?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/bench", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('bench', 'console_scripts', 'bench')()

Try this. :point_right: pip install --upgrade gitdb2==2.0.6 gitdb==0.6.4

Or python3 -m pip install GitPython==2.1.11

While doing bench update I got this warning:

ERROR: After October 2020 you may experience errors when installing or updating packages. This is because pip will change the way that it resolves dependency conflicts.

We recommend you use --use-feature=2020-resolver to test your packages with the new resolver before it becomes the default.

frontmatter 3.0.5 requires PyYAML==3.13, but you'll have pyyaml 5.3.1 which is incompatible.
google-api-core 1.22.2 requires google-auth<2.0dev,>=1.21.1, but you'll have google-auth 1.18.0 which is incompatible.

What should I do now in order not to face issues while updating?
Regards,
Ahmed
