Indeed, please find something else. Cgit is a real project, used by
many, such as git.kernel.org, and it'll turn into a real hassle for
both

Totally agreed, naming it cgit-rs makes pretty much no sense.
What about libgit-rs? Or even libgit3, where the rustness of it is
simply an implementation detail, so the name won't feel dated 15 years
from now when everything is written in Rust anyway and -rs is so 2020s?
Well, there are still very active commercial projects written in COBOL
or Clipper, for example, so I wouldn't go as far as _everything_ being
written in Rust at some point.
