That's what I suspected, thanks for confirming.

libgit2 author actually said he'll port to the latest xdiff from Git:
    https://github.com/spotrh/libxdiff/issues/2#issuecomment-29669991

Unfortunately it is not quite the same as spot's libxdiff, but that will also
be solved when spot merges:
    https://github.com/spotrh/libxdiff/pull/3

Once these two things are done, we can update libgit2 in Fedora, which means
we'll then be able to update python-pygit2. :)

I hope none of this will block the review of python-pygit2, though.
