Hello release team!

I'd like to request a transition slot for libgit2.

I've tested building reverse dependencies:
birdfont cargo geany-plugins golang-git2go kate libgit2-glib python-pygit2
ruby-rugged

geany-plugins already has a FTBFS bug reported at #819889 but I don't
consider it a transition blocker as it has no reverse dependencies and
could simply get temporarily removed from testing.

The following failed to build with the new version and needs sourceful uploads:

* libgit2-glib - I assumed this would simply be fixed by sourceful uploading
                  of matching libgit2-glib v0.24.0, see #819871
 * ruby-rugged - Pirate Praveen reported success with the new version he's
                 prepared.

So to summarize:
RM geany-plugins
sourceful uploads: libgit2-glib, ruby-rugged
binNMU: birdfont, cargo, geany-plugins, golang-git2go, kate, python-pygit2

The new upstream release 0.24.0 was just uploaded to(wards) experimental
(now stuck in NEW ofcourse) so an automatic tracker should be available soon.

Ben file:

is_affected = .depends ~ "libgit2-23" | .depends ~ "libgit2-24";
is_good = .depends ~ "libgit2-24";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libgit2-23";
