It's not your fault, but this commit is no longer reachable from any
official branch.

Maybe a more stable way to refer to this right now would be to name the
topic: `ps/libgit-in-subdir`.

That would be 8da3a2c01822 (Move libgit.a sources into separate "lib/"
directory, 2026-07-01), at least at the time of writing (that commit is
still not merged into `next` and hence subject to be rewritten).
