Update the `gix` family of crates to avoid the vulnerability reported in
[CVE-2025-31130].
Since `gix-hash` is used in two places, its version definition was moved to the
top-level `Cargo.toml`. `cargo` warned that `default-features` not being defined
in the top-level could result in a future error, so that was carried along with
it. This did not affect the build of `radicle-fetch`.
[CVE-2025-31130]: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-31130
Make `git2` an *optional* dependency of `radicle-cob`, and refactor
`radicle` to depend on crates that in turn do not depend on `git2`
*non-optionally*
The main offending dependency of `radicle-cob` is `radicle-git-ext`
from the `radicle-git` workspace in repository
(rad:z6cFWeWpnZNHh9rUW8phgA3b5yGt) which *non-optionally* depends on
`git2`.
So, to achieve removal of this dependency:
1. The crate is refactored to depend on the new crates
`radicle-git-ref-format` `radicle-git-metadata`, and
`radicle-oid` introduced in the previous commits, instead of
`radicle-git-ext`.
2. Some code from the `radicle-git-ext` crate in the `radicle-git`
workspace in repository (rad:z6cFWeWpnZNHh9rUW8phgA3b5yGt) is
copied. See `crates/radicle-cob/src/backend/git/commit.rs`.
This cascades to `radicle` and its dependents.
Firstly, the there is an
`impl Deref<Target=git2::Oid> for radicle_git_ext::Oid`. This made
it very convenient to just deref to obtain the wrapped `git2::Oid`,
so there are many expressions of the shape `*oid` in `radicle` and
its dependents. However `radicle-oid` does not provide
`impl Deref<Target=git2::Oid> for radicle_oid::Oid`, as notably,
`Target` is an associated type, and not a type parameter, so an
implementation of `Deref` would tie the new `Oid` too tightly to a
particular implementation.
Instead, work with `impl From<radicle_oid::Oid> for git2::Oid`
(which can be enabled using the feature flag `radicle-oid/git2`).
This explains the changes from `*oid` to `oid.into()` at every
transition to "`git2` land".
Secondly, `radicle` and its dependents are refactored to also depend
on `radicle-git-ref-format` and (much less prominently)
`radicle-git-metadata` instead of `radicle-git-ext`
This is to avoid pulling in `git2` via these dependencies.
Thirdly, as the re-exports in `crates/radicle/src/git.rs` change,
they are at the same time also cleaned up. Notably, the types from
`radicle-git-ref-format` are re-exported under `fmt` only, not "twice".
While overall this obviously is very much a breaking change, these
changes should mostly amount to changing from `Deref` to `Into`, i.e.,
`*oid` → `oid.into()` and rewriting imports for `radicle::fmt`.
This is indicated by the mostly mechanical nature of the changes to
`crates/radicle-{cli,node,remote-helper}`.
Allow the fetch interface to accept anything that implements
`AsRef<Repository>`. This allows flexibility in the types that the `Handle` can
accept.
This change is motivated by wanting to introduce a type that is a temporary
repository that wraps a `Repository`.
The interface of the `Handle` has two methods: `Handle::repository` and
`Handle::repository_mut`. However, the calling logic would always access the
`Handle::repo` field.
This is cleaned up by making this field private, and using the
`Handle::repository` method instead. There were no calls to `repository_mut`,
and so the method was removed.
This function (and the helpers `ancestry` and `find_and_peel`) are
eagerly peeling to commits, leading to updates of tags that target the
same commit to be missed.
For example, there could be tag two tag objects with *different* OIDs
A and B, from *different* authors, using *different* tag names, signed
with *different* secret keys, and both pointing to *the same* commit C.
The implementation would consider A and B to be the same, just becuase
A and B both peel to C, skipping the update.
This is counterintuitive, and when combined with canonical references
can be quite confusing.
Change this to only reason about an ancestry if the two objects in
question really both are commits directly. Otherwise, treat cases where
no structure can be used as ancestry similarly to non-fast-forward
updates.
I was greeted by `rad patch redact` with
called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value:

It turns out that `sqlite::cursor::Row::read` is the panicky version of
`sqlite::cursor::Row::try_read` (which returns a `Result`).
While it is somewhat rare that SQLite reads fail, it is not unheard of.
In `radicle-cli` it might not be critical, but also `radicle-protocol`
and `radicle-fetch` are affected, and they could potentially panic a
`radicle-node` process.
Use `try_read` instead, and propagate down the error handling.
The `fn io_other` disguises all sorts of errors as I/O errors, making
errors in the transport component of `radicle-fetch` harder to
understand.
Instead, expose a new error type that allows to discriminate.
The upgrade of the `radicle-crypto` crate was missed when upgrading
semver versions.
Unfortunately, since it is at the base of the dependency tree, all
crates that depend on it require an additional upgrade.
Prepare the crates for releasing to crates.io:
- radicle-remote-helper: 0.10 -> 0.11
- radicle-term: 0.12 -> 0.13
- radicle-cli: 0.13 -> 0.14
- radicle-node: 0.11 -> 0.12
- radicle-fetch: 0.11 -> 0.12
- radicle: 0.15 -> 0.16
It was also necessary to specify the `version` in the workspace Cargo.toml file,
since this is required for publishing to crates.io.
