GitoxideLabs/gitoxide v0.9.0 on GitHub

A first usable version of git-repository to make using gitoxide from your applications so much easier. It serves as a one-stop shop for application developers without sacrificing performance by default while making common use-cases more convenient.

Feature list

git-repository as hub crate for application development with focus on usability without sacrificing any knob to tune performance.
opt-in async for git-packetline, git-transport and git-protocol for fully async git clients, along with the light-async feature toggle to build a gixp pack-receive with an async client instead of a blocking one.
Statistics for gixp pack-create with the -s/--statistics flag to have data indicating the cost of the operation. Currently it's doing a lot of work that has to be avoided in order to be useable in production and the numbers underline that. Future iterations will cause key metrics to go down.
Packs are now reproducible by default, which means that the same tip will always generate a pack with the same hash. This may be a desirable property for some kinds of packs, but not for others which is why it can be turned off for a considerable speed boost.
git-tempfile crate
git-lock crate
git-ref crate with complete loose-ref, packed-ref and transaction support.

Performance

On M1, thanks to a new release, Sha1 is now computed much faster which unlocks a massive performance boost. In my test, verifying/decoding the entire linux kernel pack now happens in 17s, as compared to 37s for canonical git.
git-object parsing is a few percent faster thanks a reworked error handling for objects. By default, error collection is disabled entirely making the error case zero-sized. If needed, verbose and stacked errors can be turned on using a feature toggle for applications who expect repositories with malformed objects and need detailed diagnostics.

New Features

control pack and object cache size in megabytes in some sub-commands
