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}`.
The "seeds" command does only take a repository ID, and
carries the implicit assumption that the namespace with the same public
key as the Node ID of the receiving `radicle-node` process should be
used as reference for determining whether other nodes are in sync,
but no other namespace.
In the spirit of separating user and node identity, relax this, so that
the command also carries the public keys relative to which the sync
status should be computed. This allows to inspect sync status for
arbitrary namespaces via command.
For now, this feature is not exposed to the CLI, but `rad sync status`
always passes the public key of the active profile.
The "announce references" command does only take a repository ID, and
carries the implicit assumption that the namespace with the same public
key as the Node ID of the receiving `radicle-node` process should be
announced, but no other namespace.
In the spirit of separating user and node identity, relax this, so that
the command also carries the public keys for which the announcement
should be made. This allows to announce arbitrary namespaces out of
storage via command.
For now, this feature is not exposed to the CLI, but rather:
- `rad sync` always announce for the public key of the active profile.
- `git-remote-rad` ditto, as it calls the same codepath.
Whenever the node fetches new updates, it checks if canonical references can be
updated. The node has learned how to return these results and emit them as node
events. This is a breaking change since it adds a new variant the `Event` type,
which is not forwards-compatible.
The `winpipe` crate which is our current best bet for support on Windows
requires that named pipes are at the magical location `\\.pipe\`.
Provide a default on Windows that matches this, and use our freshly
assigned IANA service name for it.
This is a breaking change, as we remove a `pub const`, it should be
reasonably easy to fix by dependents, and probably it was a mistake to
make the default `pub const` as dependents should call `Home::socket`
anyway.
