* bikeshedding on the name (yes, really). There is an active, unrelated CGit project [4] that we only recently became aware of. We originally took the name "cgit" because at $DAYJOB we sometimes refer to git.git as "cgit" to distinguish it from jgit [5].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.
Totally agreed, naming it cgit-rs makes pretty much no sense.
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?
Well, there are still very active commercial projects written in COBOL or Clipper, for example, so I wouldn't go as far as _everything_ being written in Rust at some point.
