Hello again! Thanks for your and Jeff's reply.

I have decided on "minimal Git client based on libgit2" project. I have looked over the git manual page and I would like to work on manipulation commands functionality. I am also open for adding functionality to libgit2 as well as using it.

I have read the references from your mail and I am currently trying to understand project's architecture, as I am totally new to git's source code. Hope I will manage to identify the source code parts that interest me in a short time and maybe realize to implement something.

In the meantime I would greatly appreciate some guidelines where to look.
--Alex.
