#60998: libgit2 @0.28.5: update to 1.0.1
----------------------+----------------------

Component:  ports     |    Version:
 Keywords:            |       Port:  libgit2
----------------------+----------------------
 Version 1.0.0 of libgit2 was released on 2020-04-01, and the latest
 version is 1.0.1:
 https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/releases/latest

 But only the 0.28.x branch is
 [https://ports.macports.org/port/libgit2/summary available via Macports].

 Could you please comment if we can hope for 1.0.x ports to be made
 available or if there are known problems with it? I wasn't able to find
 any prior discussion on this. Thank you!

 There are many Rust-based tools that rely on libgit2, and the simplest way
 to get them building without --joining the dark side-- homebrew is to have
 the required version of libgit2 installed via macports. (Having macports,
 but not using it to install libgit2 results in [https://github.com/rust-
 lang/git2-rs/issues/180 linking errors], which are not easily fixable on
 the rust side.) As these tools upgrade their dependencies, this becomes
 more of a nuisance.
