Right but as far as I'm aware of Junio had reserves about libgit2 integration into git due to issues making repositories broken. Though, having libgit2 as git core would make libgit2 the the-facto standard which would a *very* big plus.

Also, I guess that integration into git would mean more developers contibuting for libgit2. Currently, issues seems to be a blocker for integration. So, libgit2 might appear to be a marginal/risky alternative for a long time which is sad.

[ I'm somewhat in the same situation of OP. ]
