I investigated a bit. It is really complicated. Version of libgit2 in
sid is 23, which is source-incompatible with 18.
Enumerations fields gets added/removed, whole structs gets removed,
callback arguments are changed and so on. It is only things I
encountered in attempt to compile, to say nothing about properly
mirroring libgit2-23 API. It needs not patch, but support from
maintainer, if you ask me.
Sorry, but I am not up to this migration.
