What is exactly what you want to achieve? From the above it is not clear if you want to add support for new protocol in git (like amazon-s3 support in JGit, or currently in the works smart HTTP transport (HTTP POST)), or perhaps you want some separate application using some unknown file transfer protocol to somehow integrate with git; but what this integration is to be?
