fn fetch_with_cli(

url: &str,

config: &Config
) -> CargoResult<()>
Expand description
Attempts to use git
CLI installed on the system to fetch a repository,
when the config value net.git-fetch-with-cli
is set.
Unfortunately libgit2
is notably lacking in the realm of authentication
when compared to the git
command line. As a result, allow an escape
hatch for users that would prefer to use git
-the-CLI for fetching
repositories instead of libgit2
-the-library. This should make more
flavors of authentication possible while also still giving us all the
speed and portability of using libgit2
.
