Bun's attempted to integrate with libgit2 instead of spawning calls to the git CLI and found it to be consistently 3x slower iirc

The micro-benchmarks are for the internal git operations that bun rn delegates to CLI calls. Overall, network time (ie round trip to GitHub and back) is what balances the performance when evaluating `bun install` but there are still places where ziggit has better visible wins like on arm-based Macs https://github.com/hdresearch/ziggit/blob/master/BENCHMARKS....

I don't know what that "BENCHMARKS" document is supposed to show. When I try to replicate their results I'm getting wildly faster executions of standard git, and they don't provide enough details for me to theorize why.

I also noticed that their version of the "blame src/main.zig" command doesn't actually work (it shows all lines as not being committed). Sure, it's easy to optimize an algorithm if you just don't do the work. Git does indeed take longer, but at least it actually gives you a blame of the file.

Only 1.3x speed despite not working lol

Amazing what agents can achieve
