It doesn’t use libgit2 it shells out to git. So it doesn’t improve security.

It still does, by adding yet another layer, written in a memory safe language.

Just like a castle with a water pit can still be conquered, but it takes a bit more effort for achieving it.

I do not care about memory safety only, I would be pissed if it removed my files, for example. :D Security is too broad a term anyways, hence this thread.

Depends entirely on threat model. More code is more surface area for vulnerabilities to be found.
