gix v0.75.0

on GitHub

New Features

• add Repository::worktree_proxy_by_id(id).
  That way it's more straightforward to obtain information about worktrees
  which are known by ID.
• add Handshake::ref_map() to produce a ref-map from a V1 or V2 handshake.
• add Repository::set_workdir().
  Force this repository instance to use the given worktree directory.

Bug Fixes

• refspec for shallow clones uses a single-branch
  When doing shallow clones (depth != NoChange), it now uses a single-branch
  refspec instead of fetching all branches. This matches Git's behavior
  and significantly reduces the repository size for shallow clones.

  For shallow clones:

  • If ref_name is specified: uses that branch
  • Otherwise: attempts to detect from Protocol V1 handshake or falls
    back to init.defaultBranch config or "main"

  This addresses issue #2227 where gix clone --depth 1 was creating
  repositories ~130MB vs Git's ~70MB due to fetching all branches.

Bug Fixes (BREAKING)

• respect diff.algorithm in Repository::blame_file
• make gix-transport I/O mode features additive

Refactor (BREAKING)

• simplify gix-protocol handshake API by avoiding duplicates that remove the server parameter.
• hoist handshake ref handling out of transport code
• store all_refspecs in Options
• store fetch refspecs in Options
• flatten RefMap::new() arguments
