We, the rpm5 community, would like to incorporate in the rpm package manager (rpm5 branch) a VCS - the history is lonk and probably not of interest. I personally have recommend git, for too much reason that everyone on this list can agreed. Unfortunately there seems to be no clear API or usable libgit to do this now: some comment on this ? Thanks in advance.

No, there is currently no linkable libgit. The official stable interface for interacting with git is the set of plumbing commands.

Since this might not be obvious, you can find which commands are plumbing in 'man git' [0].
