git-xcrypt 0.2.0

//! Argument parsing and exit codes. All logic lives in the library.
//!
//! Nothing but file content may reach `stdout` on the filter path: git treats
//! the filter's `stdout` as the file itself, so a stray `println!` corrupts it.

  3  no repository key
  4  bad format: magic, key id, unknown flag bit, or a failed tag
