We would either have to add a new port for libgit2 0.28.x or remove py27-pygit2. (The newer py3x-pygit2 subports hopefully already support the newer libgit2.) Removing py27-pygit2 is probably what I would suggest given what python27 is EOL but it would impact gitless which depends on it. Maybe gitless can be updated to use py3x-pygit2.

pygit2 v1.0.0 dropped support for py27 and py34 and v1.2.0 pygit2 only supports py36+ so the py35 subport should be removed as well.

[dbevans (David B. Evans)]

Looks like gitless has done the same in git master.

py-pygit2: drop py27 py35 subports

Current version only supports python 3.6+ and pypy3 7.2+.

gitless was migrated to py38-pygit2: [5e0a4cd299/macports-ports]. I believe this can be closed.

This is David's port. Let's see if he agrees.
