A first usable version of gix to make using gitoxide from your applications so much easier. It serves as a one-stop shop for application developers without sacrificing performance by default while making common use-cases more convenient.
gix as hub crate for application development with focus on usability without sacrificing any knob to tune performance.async for gix-packetline, gix-transport and gix-protocol for fully async git clients, along with the light-async feature toggle to build a gix pack-receive with an async client instead of a blocking one.gix pack-create with the -s/--statistics flag to have data indicating the cost of the operation. Currently it's doing a lot of work that has to be avoided in order to be useable in production and the numbers underline that. Future iterations will cause key metrics to go down.gix-tempfile crategix-lock crategix-ref crate with complete loose-ref, packed-ref and transaction support.git.gix-object parsing is a few percent faster thanks a reworked error handling for objects. By default, error collection is disabled entirely making the error case zero-sized. If needed, verbose and stacked errors can be turned on using a feature toggle for applications who expect repositories with malformed objects and need detailed diagnostics.<csr-read-only-do-not-edit/>

Maintenance release without any new features.
These are created to account for breaking changes within the dependency graph of
gitoxide crates. Due to some blunders in the past the version on crates.io
could not be installed anymore.
This was eventually fixed with new minor releases across the ecosystem.
Finally, yet another breaking change due to the introduction of the gix-hash
crate to break a dependency cycle between gix-object and gix-features caused
yet another maintenance release.

<csr-id-3d8fa8fef9800b1576beab8a5bc39b821157a5ed/> upgrade edition to 2021 in most crates. MSRV for this is 1.56, and we are now at 1.60 so should be compatible. This isn't more than a patch release as it should break nobody who is adhering to the MSRV, but let's be careful and mark it breaking.
Note that git-features and git-pack are still on edition 2018
as they make use of a workaround to support (safe) mutable access
to non-overlapping entries in a slice which doesn't work anymore
in edition 2021.

This allows to remove the additional string to describe the ids, which
are usually ascii anyway.
