Hi all! My question is very simple: why git doesn't use glib as base C framework? For example, in git there are xmalloc, xrealloc functions that duplicates glib functionality, and these routines are only small piece of all duplicated code that already exists in glib.

So, why git was designed and is developing now without mature stable C library like glib?

Best regards, Dmitry.

P.S. My question is not a joke or smth like that. It's really interesting for me.
