Sorry about the formatting. I hate github pull requests.

This is just one change that would have to be made to let the master branch build with libgit2's master, but this doesn't update the bundled libgit2 to a version which would need this change so it's just removing some functionality which we do ship with.

Yeah, I got this error when I run "go install" in git2go. Do you know what version of git2go to use? Now I am working on master branch.

[b35li]

When I checked out to next, I saw the change above, when will you merge to master? Otherwise ,what version of libgit2 I should use for the git2go on master?

[carlosmn]

See the README file for which branch goes with with libgit2 branch. next will be merged to master when libgit2 makes a release with those changes in it.

[carlosmn]

This change is now in next along with the rest of changes needed to make it compile against libgit2 master, so I'm going to close this.

upsteam became incompatible again:
./merge.go:100: opts.flags undefined (type *C.struct___2 has no field or method flags)
./merge.go:126: unknown C.struct___2 field 'flags' in struct literal
./merge.go:336: cannot use C.git_merge_file_flags_t(options.Flags) (type C.git_merge_file_flags_t) as type C.uint in assignment

[b35li]

@carlosmn Thanks. Got it, wonderful.

[b35li]

@carlosmn when will the changes be merged to master and be made a release?

[shawnl]

When upstream makes a release

[carlosmn]

The master branch for libgit2 did move, but that doesn't matter because git2go has the submodule with the working version.

[tony]

I was able to fix this by moving checking out v0.22.2 (the latest stable release available through git tags) for libgit2.

On branch next I get:

# github.com/libgit2/git2go

[carlosmn]

It looks like you forgot to run git submodule update
