Hi,

Cgit maintainer here...

Indeed, please find something else. Cgit is a real project, used by
many, such as git.kernel.org, and it'll turn into a real hassle for both
of us if there's ambiguity and confusion.

What about libgit-rs? Or even libgit3, where the rustness of it is
simply an implementation detail, so the name won't feel dated 15 years
from now when everything is written in Rust anyway and -rs is so 2020s?
