How to instruct GitPython to reload gitdb or could it reload automagically?

[yarikoptic]

If e.g. some native git command has performed gc or repacking?
or ideally -- could it determine necessity to reload on its own

Otherwise, I am hitting exceptions like

  File "/home/yoh/proj/datalad/datalad/datalad/support/gitrepo.py", line 477, in git_get_merge_base
    bases = self.repo.merge_base(*treeishes)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/repo/base.py", line 502, in merge_base
    res.append(self.commit(line))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/repo/base.py", line 427, in commit
    return self.rev_parse(text_type(rev) + "^0")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/repo/fun.py", line 183, in rev_parse
    obj = name_to_object(repo, rev[:start])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/repo/fun.py", line 120, in name_to_object
    return Object.new_from_sha(repo, hex_to_bin(hexsha))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/git/objects/base.py", line 65, in new_from_sha
    oinfo = repo.odb.info(sha1)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gitdb/db/base.py", line 205, in info
    return self._db_query(sha).info(sha)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gitdb/db/loose.py", line 157, in info
    m = self._map_loose_object(sha)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gitdb/db/loose.py", line 146, in _map_loose_object
    raise BadObject(sha)
BadObject: BadObject: 487fd81ffe964e056edd1eb4855ce6323bb50f9f

using 1.0.1+git137-gc8b8379 atm

I guess #61 gives the answers, so will close for now
