My Java GIT library and Eclipse GIT team provider is now at a point where it may be partially useful to someone else who is also trying to write something which interacts with GIT. Or who might also be interested in seeing a pure-Java Eclipse team provider for GIT.

So I've posted my repository (currently ~200 KB) on my website:
  http://www.spearce.org/projects/scm/egit.git

The underlying Java library is fairly functional and can read and write a repository. Creating a series of Ant tasks for use in an automated build environment would probably be pretty trivial with this library.

The Eclipse plugin can't commit. Or do a lot of other really useful things. So its not end-user ready. :-)

The code is licensed under the Apache License, version 2.0.

I would appreciate any and all input, feedback, etc. that anyone might have on this library or plugin. Patches are of course certainly welcome. :-)

For what its worth I'm trying to keep this library and Eclipse plugin 100% pure Java and avoid calling out to the canonical C implementation of GIT. However I have no plans to implement the delta packing algorithm used by git-pack-objects. Consequently if this code ever produces packs it will be strictly zlib deflated objects without delta compression.
