v0.3.99 — what changed since v0.3.94
A very large compatibility & refactoring release: 710 commits, ~175k insertions across 1,823 files. The focus was (1) extracting grit's core into a reusable library, and (2) closing hundreds of behavioral gaps against upstream git (validated against git 2.52.0).
Highlights
grit_lib — library-ification
The bulk of grit's plumbing and porcelain logic was extracted out of the CLI into a reusable grit_lib crate, with domain views (object_store, references, worktree_index, revision, diffing, merging, configuration) and a porcelain/plumbing/prelude layout. Cores extracted this release include: status, blame, diff, apply, am, notes, pathspec, stash, checkout, log, merge, rebase, cherry-pick, revert, tag, and format-patch.
New examples
Added a grit examples crate with simple example binaries showing how to drive grit_lib directly.
Test-tool scaffolding is now gated behind a default-on test-tools feature.
Compatibility fixes (467 fixes across 215+ test areas)

Test suite
27 upstream test files ported for portability (BSD wc/head, TERM=dumb, cwd-leak fixes, etc.), plus dashboard/baseline refreshes — all differentially verified against git 2.52.0.
