the blocking bug 407722 [1] is marked »wontfix« and judging from the
answers on my question sent to the Git list (also cc-ed to [1]) it looks
like the only option is to link statically against libgit. :(
Can some Debian Developers please comment on this? And if no other
solution is proposed could we get cgit included into the Debian package
repository and with luck cgit might be available in Debian squeeze.
I'm not optimistic that the git developers will support development
against the library. It's really a shame since it would benefit some kinds
of projects that are performance bound
