git2 0.20.3

Bindings to libgit2 for interoperating with git repositories. This library is both threadsafe and memory safe and allows both reading and writing git repositories.

    // libgit2 to enforce -- namely that it gives us a valid, nul-terminated, C string, that that string exists
    // entirely in one allocation, that the string will not be mutated once passed to us, and that the nul-terminator is
    // within isize::MAX bytes from the given pointers data address.

    // Do not bother with wrapping any of the following calls in `panic::wrap`:
    //
    // The previous implementation used `panic::wrap` here but never called `panic::check` to determine if the
    // trace callback had panicked, much less what caused it.
    //
    // This had the potential to lead to lost errors/unwinds, confusing to debugging situations, and potential issues
    // catching panics in other parts of the `git2-rs` codebase.
    //
    // Instead, we simply call the next two lines, both of which may panic, directly. We can rely on the
    // `extern "C"` semantics to appropriately catch the panics generated here and abort the process:
    //
    // Per <https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/fn.catch_unwind.html>:
    // > Rust functions that are expected to be called from foreign code that does not support
    // > unwinding (such as C compiled with -fno-exceptions) should be defined using extern "C", which ensures
    // > that if the Rust code panics, it is automatically caught and the process is aborted. If this is the desired
    // > behavior, it is not necessary to use catch_unwind explicitly. This function should instead be used when
    // > more graceful error-handling is needed.

    // Convert the raw trace level into a type we can pass to the rust callback fn.
    //
    // SAFETY: Currently the implementation of this function (above) may panic, but is only marked as unsafe to match
    // the trait definition, thus we can consider this call safe.
    let level: TraceLevel = unsafe { Binding::from_raw(level) };
