DrWaluigi: I think you are right. The dependency was included because there are jar files installed:
./usr/share/fritzing/sketches/core/Fritzing Creator Kit DE+EN/creator-kit-de/Processing/TwitterSaurus/code/twitter4j-core-3.0.3.jar
./usr/share/fritzing/sketches/core/Fritzing Creator Kit DE+EN/creator-kit-de/Processing/TwitterSaurus2/code/twitter4j-core-3.0.3.jar
./usr/share/fritzing/sketches/core/Fritzing Creator Kit DE+EN/creator-kit-de/Processing/twitter4j-core-2.2.5.jar
./usr/share/fritzing/sketches/core/Fritzing Creator Kit DE+EN/creator-kit-en/Processing/TwitterSaurus/code/twitter4j-core-3.0.3.jar
./usr/share/fritzing/sketches/core/Fritzing Creator Kit DE+EN/creator-kit-en/Processing/TwitterSaurus2/code/twitter4j-core-3.0.3.jar
./usr/share/fritzing/sketches/core/Fritzing Creator Kit DE+EN/creator-kit-en/Processing/twitter4j-core-2.2.5.jar
These jar files are part of some Twitter library used by the Twitter Saurus in the Fritzing Creator Kit. So, I guess, the jars are never run on the host system. And most people won't have the Fritzing Creator Kit anyway… So I removed the dependency.

Please do not flag this package out of date unless there is source code available for a newer version than represented here. Unfortunately, upstream is very reluctant in releasing their GPL3 licensed code to the public.

ericfont: No need to downgrade libgit2. You just need to rebuild Fritzing after the libgit2 update. This happens regularly.
