Data integrity in Git isn't that hard. It hashes things. And compresses things.
It's not a file system. The kinds of bugs that would cause data integrity issues in Git wouldn't be improved by Rust, because they're regular old bugs, like adding or multiplying the wrong numbers.
In fact, Git is probably one of the types of programs that least benefit from Rust. As a one shot program, you technically don't even need any memory management. You can just malloc stuff and let the kernel collect it when the process exits.
