Hello,
Let me suggest Wt ( http://webtoolkit.eu ) for the web development.
It's C++ and GPLv2, therefore he may be able to directly use libgit2 or copy&paste source code from git. In fact, one of the examples Wt includes in the source tarball is a git viewer: http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/examples/gitmodel/gitview.wt http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt#/src/gitmodel
In addition to that, if someone is interested in contributing to libQtGit ( http://gitorious.org/libqtgit ) as his/her GSoC, I'd be more than happy to accept contributors. API is done for the most used commands but is lacking implementation (read: append to a QStringList the parameters I added to the comments for the Q_ENUMS, then invoke QProcess and parse output). Some important commands which have not been translated to the libQtGit API are 'dif', 'log' and 'submodules'. Some more information on libQtGit here: http://www.elpauer.org/?p=419
