Missing features

• RevSpec parsing #413
• Mergebase support #409
  - Robust merge-base implementation with support for commit-graph. This is also needed for parsing ranges to a list/iterator over Id.
• Forkpoint calculation, depends on the Mergebase support #409

@kalkin Rev-spec resolution is now implemented and in main, accessible via Repository::rev_parse(…). It's complete except for a few delayed capabilities (see rev-parse title).

Making the commit-graph more accessible is planned but might not happen this year, which will enable finding the merge-base, among other things.

Just to give a heads up:

I started migrating to gitoxide it kind of works, but a lot of features are lacking in gitoxide still. Currently I fall back to using git command line a lot.

Given that it will take time until gitoxide meets all the needed requirements i took the migration as an opportunity to rework the architecture too, so it will take some time until glv is rewritten.

@Byron A nice thing to have ise a way to convert &[revision::Spec] to a walk::Platform

I thought so too, and doing so is tracked here: #470 (look for rev-walk).
