+<#
+.SYNOPSIS
+	Builds a version of libgit2 and copies it to Lib/NativeBinaries.
+.PARAMETER sha
+	Desired libgit2 version. This is run through `git rev-parse`, so branch names are okay too.
+.PARAMETER vs
+	Version of Visual Studio project files to generate. Cmake supports "10" (default) and "11".
+.PARAMETER test
+	If set, run the libgit2 tests on the desired version.
+.PARAMETER debug
+	If set, build the "Debug" configuration of libgit2, rather than "RelWithDebInfo" (default).
