Struct NewRepo 

pub struct NewRepo {
    pub path: RepoRef,
    pub hash_kind: HashKind,
    pub default_branch: Option<String>,
    pub visibility: Visibility,
    pub description: String,
}

What a new repository is created with.

Server defaults are applied here rather than by the caller, so the gRPC service, the CLI and a test all get the same repository (one implementation).

Fields

path: RepoRef

Where it lives.

hash_kind: HashKind

sha1 or sha256. Defaults to sha256.

default_branch: Option<String>

Full ref name. None means DEFAULT_BRANCH.

visibility: Visibility

Defaults to Visibility::Private.

description: String

Free text, for UIs.

Implementations

impl NewRepo

pub fn new(path: RepoRef) -> Self

A private sha256 repository at path, with the default branch.

pub fn hash_kind(self, kind: HashKind) -> Self

Set the hash kind. sha1 repositories are fully supported.

pub fn visibility(self, visibility: Visibility) -> Self

Set the visibility.

pub fn default_branch(self, name: impl Into<String>) -> Self

Set the default branch, as a full refs/heads/... name.

pub fn prospect(&self) -> Result<Repo>

The Repo this spec would create, without creating it.

The one place a NewRepo becomes a Repo: RepoCatalog::create writes exactly this value, and the first-repository door carries it through a push’s advertisement before the catalog has been touched, so a client that takes one look at the advertised hash and hangs up (a sha1 working tree against the sha256 default) leaves nothing behind. A door that wrote the catalog first was the 2026-08-30 ghost-repository bug: repo get succeeded for a repository whose push was refused.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for NewRepo

fn clone(&self) -> Self

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for NewRepo

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.
