24/// A remote registry is a registry that lives at a remote URL (such as
25/// crates.io). The git index is cloned locally, and `.crate` files are
26/// downloaded as needed and cached locally.
27///
28/// This type is primarily accessed through the [`RegistryData`] trait.
29///
30/// See the [module-level documentation](super) for the index format and layout.
31///
32/// ## History of Git-based index registry
33///
34/// Using Git to host this index used to be quite efficient. The full index can
35/// be stored efficiently locally on disk, and once it is downloaded, all
36/// queries of a registry can happen locally and needn't touch the network.
37/// Git-based index was a reasonable design choice at the time when HTTP/2
38/// was just introduced.
39///
40/// However, the full index keeps growing as crates.io grows. It becomes
41/// relatively big and slows down the first use of Cargo. Git (specifically
42/// libgit2) is not efficient at handling huge amounts of small files either.
43/// On the other hand, newer protocols like HTTP/2 are prevalent and capable to
44/// serve a bunch of tiny files. Today, it is encouraged to use [`HttpRegistry`],
45/// which is the default from 1.70.0. That being said, Cargo will continue
46/// supporting Git-based index for a pretty long while.
47///
