The delta collapses for dirty repos where parsing overhead matters. +- dulwich (585ms avg) is disqualifying for interactive use — internal reimplementation of pack/object reads in Python accounts for the slowdown. +- pygit2 (30.2ms) is fast but requires libgit2 native library — this is a hard blocker for Windows compatibility. + +--- + +## 3. Recommendation + +**Use GitPython.** + +Rationale: GitPython is pure Python (no native deps), works identically on Windows and Linux, has the most Pythonic API of the three candidates, and covers all ~36 local git operations in the audit with first-class support. The 2x overhead vs subprocess (28ms vs 14ms) is acceptable given that drone's git operations are not hot paths — they run at PR/sync cadence, not in tight loops. + +pygit2 would be faster but libgit2 dependency breaks Windows support, which is a stated requirement for @cli. dulwich is disqualified on performance alone (585ms vs 14ms). + +--- + +## 4. Prototype Benchmarks + +Benchmark environment: Python 3.12.x, Linux 6.17, AIPass repo, 20 iterations each, clean working tree with 1 untracked file. + +| Implementation | Avg | Min | Max | +|----------------|-----|-----|-----| +| subprocess (current) | 13.9ms | 11.7ms | 26.1ms | +| GitPython (fresh Repo() per call) | 27.9ms | 21.4ms | 49.2ms | +| GitPython (cached Repo object) | 26.9ms | 19.7ms | n/a | +| pygit2 (fresh Repository() per call) | 30.2ms | 28.2ms | n/a | +| dulwich | 585.3ms | 564.1ms | n/a | + +**Verdict:** GitPython adds ~14ms overhead per call. At drone's usage cadence this is imperceptible. The overhead buys: no process fork, structured error objects, and type-safe diff iteration. + +--- + +## 5. @git pr Trade-offs: Two-Library Split + +**Question:** Can we use GitPython for local git work while keeping `gh` subprocess for GitHub API calls? + +**Answer: Yes. The split is correct and clean.** + +Reasoning: + +1. `gh` is an OAuth-authenticated CLI that manages GitHub REST API state (PR creation, merge, review status, checks). GitPython has no equivalent — it only knows the local `.git` directory. +2. The two surfaces don't overlap. Local commits, branches, diffs, staging, stash = GitPython. GitHub PR lifecycle = gh subprocess. +3. This pattern is standard in Git tooling (e.g. hub, lab, glab all work this way). +4. Error handling stays clean: GitPython raises `git.GitCommandError`; gh failures surface through returncode + stderr as before. + +Concrete split for drone's files: + +| File | GitPython replaces | gh stays subprocess | +|------|--------------------|---------------------| +| status_handler.py | `git status --porcelain` | — | +| lock_handler.py | `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` | — | +| sync_handler.py | fetch, merge, rebase, stash, rev-list | — | +| pr_handler.py | add, diff, commit, branch, push | `gh pr create`, `gh pr list` | +| merge_plugin.py | stash, pull, rev-parse | `gh pr merge`, `gh pr view` | +| pr_plugin.py | add, reset, diff, commit, fetch, rev-list, branch, push | `gh pr create` | +| sync_plugin.py | fetch, merge, rebase, diff | — | +| fix_plugin.py | rebase, symbolic-ref, checkout, fetch, merge, diff, reset | — | + +--- + +## 6. Known Pain Points + +### Pathspec Scope Limitation + +**Problem:** `drone @git pr` stages only the caller's branch directory via `git add /`. This path-scoped add cannot reach cross-directory paths such as repo-root `.claude/hooks/` or `.aipass/registry.json`. + +**Impact:** @seedgo hit this limitation 3x during hook consolidation work (PRs #371, #372, #373) — hook files at `.claude/hooks/` were not staged because they live outside the branch directory prefix. + +**Current subprocess behavior:** `git add /` — silently ignores everything outside that prefix. + +**GitPython fix available:** + +```python +# Current (subprocess): +subprocess.run(["git", "add", str(branch_dir) + "/"], ...) + +# GitPython replacement: +repo.index.add(["src/aipass/seedgo/", ".claude/hooks/post_tool_use.py"]) +``` + +`repo.index.add()` accepts an explicit path list, enabling multi-directory staging without accidentally bundling unrelated files. This is the recommended fix for Phase 2 — the caller explicitly opts in to each path, eliminating silent-omission bugs. + +**Workaround until Phase 2:** Callers that need cross-directory staging must issue a separate `drone @git pr` invocation from the repo root, or use the system-pr plugin (which uses `git add -A` + `git reset` to exclude lock files). + +--- + +## 7.
