What is the status of libgit2 WRT the overall git project?  I recall
that there was some discussion of basing bits of git on libgit2 once it
matures.

I ask because I'm starting a project to improve the abysmal speed of
git-subtree split.  It's unbearably slow at the moment and as far as I
can puzzle out it's due almost entirely to repeated subshell invocations
to run git commands.

I was planning on doing some experiments rewriting bits of git-subtree
using libgit2 but I want to make sure that that isn't wasted work.  It
appears to be exactly what I need to code bits of git-subtree natively.

Thoughts?
