Thanks for following through!

libgit2 makes so many breaking api changes that its subprojects (pygit2,
libgit2-glib, etc.) should really be part of the same repo so that they
all get updated and released at the same time.

I've already forked pygit2 to download and install the corresponding
libgit2 version so that it can be installed into a virtualenv. Quite the
hack, but seems to work for now.
