I'm currently using https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs to interact with git in my software. Are you aiming to have a stable api that could act as a pure-rust replacement for that at some point in the future?

Absolutely! My plan is to proclaim a version 1.0 once the basic workflow of clone-commit-push can be performed, which should be enough for many to start using it. From that point on, the API should remain stable, following semantic versioning as usual.
It is my hope that the quality and stability will be high enough to convince people [in the Rust ecosystem] to move away from libgit2 and instead contribute to the maintenance and development of gitoxide, rewarding everyone with better performance and improved usability.
