Hi,

libgit2 currently bundles an older version of xdiff, which itself isn't released as a public library people can use. Spot's been working on making a proper xdiff release that can be used by developers and libgit upstream is working on porting code over to this. However, since there isn't a fixed time frame when the port will be complete, can/should libgit be granted a temporary exception to use the currently bundled version of xdiff?

Other software, such as gitg is waiting on a libgit update: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1023724

libgit2 update is available: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055836
