It is really the case.  The Rust code in `src/hash.rs` requires C
functions in `libgit.a`.  The tests won't run via `cargo test` if it's
not built.  There will be additional uses of this code in the relatively
  near future and they will definitely require calls to `libgit.a`.

The lack of Meson functionality is likely an oversight and I'm sure a
patch to fix that would be accepted.
