issue with the new version

[tkcaccia]

There are issues with the new version. The package cannot link to the library libgit2

---

   Configuration failed to find libgit2 library. Try installing:
     * brew: libgit2 (MacOS)
     * deb: libgit2-dev   (Debian, Ubuntu, etc)
     * rpm: libgit2-devel (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL)
   and try again.

   If the libgit2 library is installed on your system but the git2r
   configuration is unable to find it, you can specify the include and
   lib path to libgit2 with:

   given you downloaded a tar-gz archive:
   R CMD INSTALL git2r-.tar.gz --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/include LIB_DIR=/path/to/lib'

   or cloned the GitHub git2r repository into a directory:
   R CMD INSTALL git2r/ --configure-vars='INCLUDE_DIR=/path/to/include LIB_DIR=/path/to/lib'

   or download and install git2r in R using
   install.packages('git2r', type='source', configure.vars='LIB_DIR=-L/path/to/libs INCLUDE_DIR=-I/path/to/headers')

Previous version works without problems
remotes::install_version("git2r", "0.33.0")

Boosting. I have the same issue. Using 0.33.0 worked for me though.

Same issue

git2r > 0.33.0 needs a newer version of the libgit2 system library. Which is not available on Red Hat 8 (RHEL8), if by any chance you are using that system.
