I've got the same kind of issue (or I think so)
It looks like git_static has been moved forward to libgit2 v0.28 where git_dynamic is still on libgit2 v0.27... is that a normal state?

I have to add that if I manually modify git_dynamic.go source to point on libgit2 v0.28, everything works fine.

Homebrew is on libgit2 v0.28.1 as of today. I'm having trouble finding an obvious way to downgrade homebrew to use v0.27, to become compatible with git2go.

@mark-rushakoff You can just install the older formula by URL to get libgit v0.27.8:

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/19dee2bd48ec0443e1f4a90bbdae0b9b8ef7da98/Formula/libgit2.rb

@bored-engineer
use v0.27.8 get

could not determine kind of name for C.git_buf_dispose

since the git_buf_dispose comes from v0.28

@carlosmn Is there anything we can do to make it support v0.28?

[CamW]

Looks like the work to support 0.28 has been done in commit 5fda6dd and PR #515 fixes an invalid check which was left behind.
Would be great if someone could confirm this and merge 515. I'm finding that this is causing some issues, considering that v0.28 is becoming more prevalent by default.

[mu-soliman]

commit 5fda6dd only covers the static build. The dynamic build against 0.28 still fails.

Is this project dead or something?
I still have problems with 0.28 …

[lhchavez]

#515 has been merged and this problem should be solved.
