lib.rs:

Resolve project origins and kinds from a path.

This crate originated in Watchexec: it is used to resolve where a project's origin (or root) is, starting either at that origin, or within a subdirectory of it.

This crate also provides the kind of project it is, and defines two categories within this: version control systems, and software development environments.

As it is possible to find several project origins, of different or similar kinds, from a given directory and walking up, origins returns a set, rather than a single path. Determining which of these is the "one true origin" (if necessary) is left to the caller.
