Indeed, please find something else. Cgit is a real project, used by many, such as git.kernel.org, and it'll turn into a real hassle for both of us if there's ambiguity and confusion.

What about libgit-rs? Or even libgit3, where the rustness of it is simply an implementation detail, so the name won't feel dated 15 years from now when everything is written in Rust anyway and -rs is so 2020s?
