  "textContent": "Speaking as someone who often needs to dig into the source code of crates he didn't write, in order to deal with gaps in the documentation: I'm surprised to hear that the source code view on docs.rs _isn't_ the same thing as what I'd see if I pulled the git tree and opened it locally. That makes the source code view on docs.rs substantially less useful to me. I recognize the value of cross-referencing and whatnot but I think I would actually _trade_ that for \"the source code view matches what's in version control as of the indicated release\"!\n\n(It sounds like in practice they will only be different in unusual and/or malicious situations, but ... it's still a problem.)",
