## Summary
We currently rely on libgit2 for most git-related functionality.
However, libgit2 has long-standing performance issues, as well as lags
significantly behind git in terms of new features. For these reasons we
now use the git CLI by default for fetching repositories
(https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/1781). This PR completely drops
libgit2 in favor of the git CLI for all git-related functionality, which
should allow us to use features such as partial clones and sparse
checkouts in the future for performance.
There is also a lot of technical debt in the current git code as it's
mostly taken from Cargo. Switching to the git CLI *vastly* simplifies
the `uv-git` codebase.
Eventually we might want to look into switching to
[`gitoxide`](https://github.com/Byron/gitoxide), but it's currently too
immature for our use case.
## Summary
This PR adds lossless deserialization for `GitSourceDist` distributions
in the lockfile. Specifically, we now properly preserve the requested
revision, the subdirectory, and the precise Git commit SHA.
## Test Plan
`cargo test`
First, replace all usages in files in-place. I used my editor for this.
If someone wants to add a one-liner that'd be fun.
Then, update directory and file names:
```
# Run twice for nested directories
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
# Update files
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
```
Then add all the files again
```
# Add all the files again
git add crates
git add python/uv
# This one needs a force-add
git add -f crates/uv-trampoline
```
