Research direction
Start by inspecting pygit2's build and installation logic for libgit2 detection, then reproduce the issue with an installed libgit2 and PKG_CONFIG_PATH set. Done means the package respects pkg-config and PKG_CONFIG_PATH when locating the intended libgit2 installation, including an upgraded version.
