The reuse argument is very Strong. The git-core are ready and it's a very good idea to reuse it. Any change in the core or in the internal representation of git repository will benefit the Git-Java implementation... I think that a growing utilization of GCJ and ClassPath will contribute to a Gradual Culture Change in the Java Land and promote a beter reutilization among all GCC languages... Write Once Run Everywhere that GCJ Runs (Sounds Good). Eclipse will be compiled with GCJ in Fedora 4. Let's see how it works...
