Platform

Description

When deriving FromRef, clippy will trigger clippy::clone_on_ref_ptr. This lint is allow-by-default, which is probably why nobody reported it yet.

You can reproduce the issue by adding axum@0.7.5 as a dependency with the macros feature enabled, and writing the following code:

use std::sync::Arc;

use axum::extract::FromRef;

#[derive(Clone, FromRef)]
pub struct MyState {
	substate: Arc<MySubstate>,
}

pub struct MySubstate {}

And then running clippy with the offending lint set to warn (or higher):

$ cargo clippy -- -Wclippy::clone_on_ref_ptr

warning: using `.clone()` on a ref-counted pointer
 --> src/lib.rs:7:12

  = note: requested on the command line with `-W clippy::clone-on-ref-ptr`

I would assume adding a clippy::clone_on_ref_ptr to the #[allow(…)] attribute on this line would fix the problem. I can open a PR if that's a fine solution.

Sounds good!
