My gut feeling is that gitoxide aims to be more transparent than libgit2. We'll need to know more about the underlying Git data model. Random comments on gix API: * gix::Repository provides API similar to git2::Repository, but has less "convenient" functions. For example, we need to use .find_object() + .try_to/into_<kind>() instead of .find_<kind>(). * gix::Object, Blob, etc. own raw data as bytes. gix::object and gix::objs types provide high-level views on such data. * Tree building is pretty low-level compared to git2. * gix leverages bstr (i.e. bytes) extensively. It's probably not difficult to migrate git::import/export_refs(). It might help eliminate the startup overhead of libssl initialization. The gix-based GitBackend appears to be a bit faster, but that wouldn't practically matter. #2316
