'Repo' object has no attribute 'commit'

[yetkinozturk]

I initialized the repo as repo = Repository('/opt/projectpath/')
repo.get_recent_commits() raises this. Am i missing something? (it is a git repo)
93 head = pending_commits.pop(0)
94 try:
---> 95 commit = self._repo.commit(head)
96 except KeyError:
97 raise CommitDoesNotExist

AttributeError: 'Repo' object has no attribute 'commit'

I'm sorry, at this point I haven't been maintaing this project for several years, I don't have any particular suggestions.
