Hey Han-Wen,

I think this is the kind of issue that can be very aptly discussed in
the pygit2 issues tracker [0] instead of the mailing list.

Go for it!

Is it a problem to discuss on the list, though?

The risk is that, if the issue is not quickly fixed, it will likely be
forgotten. At some point I will remove the emails from inbox, and bye
bye... until someone else raises it again.

In the issue tracker an issue may remain open for ages, but it will not
be forgotten.
