fix: update libgit2 to 1.9.2 for security fixes #1734

@peaktwilight

Description

@peaktwilight

The current libgit2-sys dependency (0.18.2+1.9.1) bundles libgit2 1.9.1, which has two security vulnerabilities fixed in libgit2 1.9.2 (released Dec 6, 2025):

  1. SSH arbitrary command execution — Remote repository names were improperly sent to the shell without quoting when using external SSH transport, potentially allowing arbitrary command execution.

  2. SSH public key buffer overflow — Public keys that are not NUL-terminated were improperly zeroed using memset with the wrong length, resulting in a buffer overflow or incomplete key zeroing.

Remediation

Update git2 to 0.20.4, which depends on libgit2-sys >=0.18.3 (libgit2 1.9.2).
