I'm assuming you didn't read the article, since I'm pretty sure I covered all of this, but I'm happy to respond.

Don't bother.

It's probably not for you. It's slower, more obtuse, more bloated, less capable, exponentially less scalable at any size. Canonical Git is better in every way, except being a linkable library.

Even in the arena of being linkable libraries that can do Git stuff, both Gitoxide (Rust) and libgit2 (C which has git2 crate Rust bindings) are both better, they're just not feature complete. That is the only point of this project.
