What is the objection to using Rust? Seems like a fine language to me, and delivers some huge safety improvements over languages like C.

As of Git 2.55.0, you need to pass NO_RUST=1 to disable Rust components in the build process. It seems that Rust will become mandatory by the time we reach Git v3. https://github.com/Libre-WD-40/git is a fork of Git that aims to deliver Git without Rust (named as such because WD-40 removes rust). We have a PR for a port of it here: https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/33401 Thanks.
