You have this error because you try to build pygit2 with an incorrect version of libgit2.

Make sure you use libgit2 v0.18.0.

In the documentation the command "$ git clone git://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git -b v0.18.0" is wrong. Indeed v.0.18.0 is not a branch (it's a tag).
When I use this command I had this output:

 xavierd@xavierd-ThinkPad-T410s:/tmp$ git clone git://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git -b v0.18.0
 Cloning into libgit2...

 Resolving deltas: 100% (24967/24967), done.
 warning: Remote branch v0.18.0 not found in upstream origin, using HEAD instead

I used the following commands to build pygit2:

 git clone https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git
 cd libgit2
 git checkout master
 git checkout v0.18.0

I hope this command will fix your issue.

@delanne I guess the -b option only works for tags with newer versions of Git? Which version do you use?

Does git clone git://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git -b master work for you?

[delanne]

Hi,

I used this version:

xavierd@xavierd-ThinkStation-E31:~$ git --version
git version 1.7.9.5

@delanne https://github.com/delanne I guess the -b option only works
for tags with newer versions of Git? Which version do you use?

Does git clone git://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git -b master work for
you?

@jdavid, yes git clone git://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git -b master works for me.
