Thank ~ No. However you can look at jgit if you are programming in Java. In Ruby look up Grit (a wrapper around the plumbing commands), or the pure-Ruby implementation of Git (I forget its name). Anything else, use the plumbing commands and just fork+exec what you need. Many of them have a -z flag to use null termination on records, making it easier (and safer) to slurp data that may contain LFs. -- Shawn. ``` ## Scott Chacon, 2008-08-26 18:48 Subject: Re: Is there have development library or API for git ?
