I looked at JGit when I started implementation back in October last year but it wasn't rdy then. This is definitely on my list, and the whole project is already setup to support both, a native plus a Java implementation. But just one step after the other, I'd like to help finishing the german git manpages first ;)

Yup, this is completely ok from a git perspective, but maven-scm aims to deliver the same result for each SCM system. And since cvs has been first... Also, export is not very important (and also not time critical), all really important functions already work fine.
