Thank you!

Unfortunately Magit update is needed, because on a GitLab instance you
could list issues but not open them to take a look on a content.

New Magit requires https://github.com/magit/libegit2 which I try to
build, but stuck.  I succeeded to build ‘libgit2.so’ and load it in
Emacs, but ‘featurep’ procedure says that feature is not loaded.

I think we should not merge partially working emacs-forge.

Regards,
Oleg.
