libgit2 1.3.0 (and 1.4.3, it seems) includes a time-dependent test:
‘refs::revparse::date’, in ‘tests/refs/revparse.c’, assumes
“HEAD@{10 years ago}” doesn't match anything in the sample repositories,
which is no longer true:

refs::revparse.

Thus, as of 6b588da368c77cde82ea2f22ca315116228777ad, libgit2 now fails
to build; a few months ago, it would build fine.
