I completely stalled that side project, so if anyone wants to pick it up, feel free.

The server side was complete (and reviewed and people liked it). The only missing part was the client side to be completed. (There were some patches back and forth and it worked mostly, the design seemed to be accepted and well). The code is at https://github.com/stefanbeller/git/commits/protocol2-10
