In issue #[2836] of `libgit2`, the speed of `libgit2`'s `file://` protocol for git operations is found to be very slow. This is further corrobarated by `rad init` taking 13 hours to initialise the hardenedbsd [ports] repository. There are two areas where the `heartwood` project uses `libgit2` to push using the file protocol. The first is when via the `trasnport::local` smart transport registration and the second is the final push to storage in the `git-remote-rad` binary. When both these `push` operations are changed to use the `git` binary instead, the [ports] repository can be initialised in less than 10 minutes (nearly 100x speed up). This change is clearly required if `heartwood` wishes to support larger repositories. [2836]: https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/issues/2836 [ports]: https://git.hardenedbsd.org/hardenedbsd/ports |

Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack
Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful
peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a
full implementation of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line
interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).
Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.
See the Protocol Guide for an in-depth description of how Radicle works.
Installation
Requirements
- Linux or Unix based operating system.
- Git 2.34 or later
