So I found out that homebrew provides version 0.23.0, so I installed 0.22.3 manually and pinned it for now.

Edit: I will put that here for any developers on OS X who run into the same problem and don’t know what to do:

brew unlink libgit2
brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew/d6a9bb6adeb2043c5c5e9ba3a878decdefc1d240/Library/Formula/libgit2.rb
brew switch libgit2 0.22.3
brew pin libgit2

The last line pins libgit2 to 0.22.3, so if you want to use 0.23.0 or later you have to brew unpin libgit2 first!
