repo.walk in thread hangs the main thread

When calling repo.walk in a new thread, it blocks the main thread until it finished!!!

See the example code below, when run with a huge repo (qt5, chromium e.g.), the main thread won't print any message until the repo.walk ended. (Use iter also the same)

It seems that repo.diff also have the problem.

from pygit2 import Repository, GIT_SORT_TOPOLOGICAL
from threading import Thread

import sys
import time


def thread_func(repo_dir):
    repo = Repository(repo_dir)

    print(">>>>>>>> begin diff")
    commits = list(repo.walk(repo.head.target, GIT_SORT_TOPOLOGICAL))
    #for commit in repo.walk(repo.head.target, GIT_SORT_TOPOLOGICAL):
    #    continue
    print(">>>>>>>> end diff")


def test(repo_dir):
    t = Thread(target=thread_func, args=[repo_dir])
    t.start()

    while t.is_alive():
        print("main thread...")
        time.sleep(0.01)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    if len(sys.argv) != 2:
        print(">>>>>>>> Invalid argument")
        sys.exit(-1)

    test(sys.argv[1])

从提供的 Python 复现程序开始，检查 repo.walk、其迭代器和 repo.diff 的实现，了解线程行为。验证 worker 处理大型 repository 时主线程是否仍能保持响应，然后添加能够展示预期行为的回归测试覆盖。
