I guess you may ask this. I've already seen you at somewhere... 

As you can see in the recent issues on github of libxdiff and libgit2,  we
can't build libgit2 0.20 on Fedora. Therefore we can't build this python
binding coherently, the reason is pretty clear here, pygit2 needs corresponding
major version of libgit2. e.g pygit2 0.20 needs libgit2 0.20.

0.19.1 is the latest version can be built. 0.20 has API changes and new defined
types in the header which the latter one caused FTBFS with libgit2 0.19 in the
repo, I just tried it yesterday. 

I was given access to commit of libgit2 also in the yesterday, but I don't
think it's easy to update that package, because libxdiff in Fedora comes from
Spot version, although Spot has integrated the upstream and patches from Git,
the libxdiff shipped in the libgit2 bundled has different member name, I don't
know how to cope with that, and libgit2 author seems not likely to change.
