I haven't done anything on the high level wrapper for a while, because I 
didn't have the need for it, but I wouldn't call it dead. Unfortunately, 
the two PRs to upgrade to 0.25.1 have slipped past me, though - the one 
changing the bindings is merged now.

But the thing with libgit2 is that it is extremely annoying how quickly 
they break the API, especially since many different versions have to be 
supported at the same time as long as using the system packaged version 
is supposed to be possible.
