On Julia v0.5.0, Windows, I get the following error when trying to `Pkg.add("AxisArrays")`.
Similar error when trying to `Pkg.add("Compose")`.
I suspect both of these packages use `Documenter`.
```julia
julia> Pkg.add("AxisArrays")

Not sure if I need Documenter installed, but I get this error when trying to install:
```julia

I was able to install Compose and Documenter without issues on Windows 10. Packages using Documenter shouldn’t know anything about Documenter until you actually try to build the docs, so I don’t think this is related to Documenter. It looks like git/`libgit` is somehow problematic.
Is it a clean Julia installation from the 0.5.0 installer? Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will pass by but it might be worth posting it to the Julia issue tracker.

I can successfully install Compose, Images (which installs AxisArrays) and Documenter from my home PC running Windows 10.
The errors shown above are from my work PC running Windows 7 through corporate proxy.
So as you say, maybe error is something to do with `libgit2`.
