built-in support for the file protocol (original) (raw)

Currently gitoxide relies on shelling this out to the git upload-pack binary which isn't necessarily available on all systems. Instead, we must implement the server side of the fetch operation ourselves and use it.

Key Features

• Shallow support
  • Cargo supports shallow clones, and ideally these also work locally just like when using git
• Protocol V2
  • Probably V1 can be skipped
