I'm retrying this now with 2.17.1

It doesn't crash - but it adds in the complete (old) petsc history to the petsc4py repo.

Perhaps we should just ignore this issue - and use this mode?

[and when subtree gets fixed - we can recreate a more pristine petsc4py repo]

current:

balay at sb /home/balay/git-repo/petsc4py (master=)
$ du -sh .git
2.5M	.git

after "git subtree push" from petsc repo:

balay at sb /home/balay/test/petsc4py (master>)
$ du -sh .git
219M	.git
