This crate was recently updated to the next release of libgit2, and I've noticed
historically that a noop `cargo build` was slow in the git2-rs repository.
Curious to see if the new libgit2 version helped speed things up at all, I
tested it out.
Before this commit, a noop `cargo build` produced 599108 syscalls. After this
commit, a noop build produced 86925 syscalls, an 85% reduction in the number of
syscalls! Needless to say it's much faster.
