Very cool!
I committed a couple of tweaks to the 'build.conf' file to help it build on Linux (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04). For the record, I built and installed libgit2 like this:
[[[
$ cd ~/src/libgit2-0.20.0
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/.local/libgit2-0.20.0
[...]
$ cmake --build . --target install
[...]
[ 23%] Built target git2
[...]
[100%] Built target libgit2_clar
Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Debug"
-- Installing: /home/julianfoad/.local/libgit2-0.20.0/lib/libgit2.so.0.20.0
-- Installing: /home/julianfoad/.local/libgit2-0.20.0/lib/libgit2.so.0
-- Installing: /home/julianfoad/.local/libgit2-0.20.0/lib/libgit2.so
-- Installing: /home/julianfoad/.local/libgit2-0.20.0/lib/pkgconfig/libgit2.pc

-- Installing: /home/julianfoad/.local/libgit2-0.20.0/include/git2.h
]]]
And then I configured Subversion with:
LDFLAGS=-Wl,-rpath,$HOME/.local/libgit2-0.20.0/lib [my normal ./configure ... command] --with-libgit2=$HOME/.local/libgit2-0.20.0

I don't see a problem. libgit2 is intended to be an optional dependency.
People who don't like the GPL or don't trust the linking exception
promise can keep using Subversion's native repository backends.
It's not like github would ever turn around on their linking exception
promise, would they? I really doubt that.
Also, I think we should keep the discussion focused on technical matters.

Did you guys run this by legal@?
libgit2 is GPLv2 licensed. I know they claim to support permissive linking
and that should be the end of it, but ASF legal might still want to weigh
in.
