Dear maintainer,

I am preparing a rust-gix transition to 0.86, which will likely be uploaded in the coming days.

stgit currently depends on gix 0.83, so it needs a dependency bump and port.

I have attached a debdiff fixing this.

Best regards,
Simon Quigley

Thanks for the patch and the heads up.

Please feel free to push the nmu with no delays, and push the changes to
the salsa repository, whenever it's more convenient for the transition.
About the patch, upstream head uses gix 0.85, and the migration to 0.86
seems non-trivial, so if possible, could you forward your patch
upstream?

As a side note, I think that these kind of transitions could be avoided
having api versioned -dev packages (which the rust team tooling already
supports).

Happy hacking,
