Fixed by pinning to <0.24 until a newer version of libgit2-glib is released upstream. Thanks for reporting. https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=112c2f6c7e1921971a449d317d74c8fdfe593440
We will probably need to start always depending on something like =dev-libs/libgit2-0.23* always in the future to prevent this revbumps for adding the blockers from being needed when libgit2 upstream releases a new major version broken the reverse deps :(

Umm, interesting, thanks for the tip
