#60998: libgit2 @0.28.5: update to 1.0.1

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.
