I think this could be an issue for FreeBSD sometimes? I don't think
adding Rust to Git is done in bad faith, and it will likely fully work,
but Rust is only "guaranteed to build" on FreeBSD, not guaranteed to
"work"[1]. There will likely be a point in time where it gets Tier 1
support and is built alongside Windows, macOS (aarch64) and
Linux, though only with glibc, but for now I think this would be a bad
idea in defense of FreeBSD. Either way, I am glad to see Perl be used
less for something like Git. It satisfies my inner vendetta against it.
