Description

@telephon

maybe this is not a git-explode issue, but still I've run into it:

sudo pip install git-deps

results in:

    @RonnyPfannschmidt

    this looks like missing libgit2-devel

    also please never ever use sudo pip install - it tends to break stuff the packge manager owns

    If anybody is using a deb-based distribution, there the package name is libgit2-dev.
