Fails to build on Ubuntu

When building my project on Ubuntu, I get the following error:

Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'LibGit2Sharp.Core.NativeMethods' threw an exception. ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load shared library 'git2-8e0b172' or one of its dependencies.

@shaynevanasperen thanks for raising this. Please see the FAQ.

Hey @shaynevanasperen, you could also try referencing LibGit2Sharp version 0.26.0-preview-0070 as a private dependency, they have done some reduce the native dependencies in that version. I can't guarantee it will work, I'm more curious that anything.

Edit: scrap that, because minver is ran as a separate process, that won't work

Try now with beta2 @shaynevanasperen
