Using both JGit and C Git

Hello everyone,

I'm working on git client written in Java. Now the application uses both implementations but our team is interested in switching to JGit completely some day. We consider that for the first version all read-only operations should be implemented with JGit and read-write functionality should use exec calls to git executable. We would keep that approach until we have even the smallest suspect that pure Java implementation could corrupt repository somehow. Also we have a number of read-write operations implemented with JGit and we will use them internally to collect more experience and to see if any problems will appear.

Does anyone here already have any experience with using both JGit and C Git together. Is there any kind of test suites which allow to check JGit's behavior on different platforms comparing with native git. Is there any known issues/workarounds? Any feedback is much appreciated.

I've noticed that such a question was raised here, but the answers are probably out of date now.

Thanks in advance! -- Semyon.
