We do not have a tutorial. The JUnit tests are the best examples on how to use the API today. I did some experiement wit J2EE and created some jsp tags, but that's for JSP only and mostly experimental. To comply with the JEE spec one should create a resource manager for Git to deal with scalability when many users try to access repos.

We do not use maven ourselves right now, though that might change, so there is not public maven repository for jgit just yet. What do I need to do to set it up?

The pom.xml works for building jgit. cd to the mave dir and type mvn and watch it build (and run unit tests if you ask it to).
