I do not have any such copyright nor patent claims for the jgit code.

As long as the C version remains the authoritative reference 
implementation for protocol and data format, and any algorithmic 
improvements made to the jgit source can be merged back into the C 
version using the GPL, then I have no issue with the license used by 
jgit either.
