Update gix from 0.71.0 to 0.74.1

[cruessler]

This PR updates gix to its latest version, as of 2025-10-23. This update removes 2 or 3 transitive dependencies, but it duplicates a couple more. Since this is something I know we’re concerned about, what’s the best strategy to handle this? Another option I haven’t tried yet is upgrading to an older version, hoping it introduces less duplicate dependencies.

moving forward gix is a higher priority. if the binary size does not explode with whatever dupes it introduces I am fine. but the CI needs to get green first :)

Perfect, then I’ll go ahead! :-)

We recently moved to MSRV 1.82 in gitoxide which is why all the tests that run on 1.81 fail. We could update to a version that supports 1.81 or update our own MSRV. What do you think?

Linting fails because it includes cargo deny which I would fix once we’ve decided what to do with respect to the MRSV.

[extrawurst]

lets raise the MSRV to 1.82 then
