Oxidize Radicle-Git

[Sebastian Thiel (Byron)]

Here is the repository: https://app.radicle.xyz/nodes/seed.radicle.xyz/rad:z6cFWeWpnZNHh9rUW8phgA3b5yGt

Required Features

• gix-protocol::fetch() without Delegates #1634
  • Remove code-duplication in heartwood (see this comment for all the details on where to look; also check the server side of things for reference)

More Analysis TBD

Preferences

• crate git-ref-format - typesafe/statically analysed ref handling
• crate radicle-git-ext for better tools to work with commits

Notes

The repository contains a lot of extra-functionality that also isn't present in git2. This should probably be available from gix as long as it's not Radicle specific.

• Re-implement some basic features that were lacking in git2 in gix
• Use gix where possible, slowly replacing git2
• Remove git2 once there is nothing left.
