Nothing is impossible.

My feeling is that no Git developers are interested in libgit2, so the
idea of me contributing to libgit2 and leave libgit.a alone is more
like a "we don't want no reorganization". Then wait until libgit2 is
ready before considering using it in Git's core, but that's never
going to happen if we don't first start to bring the two code-bases
closer together.

IOW; sweep the issue under the carpet.
