I have a lot of interest in writing an XS interface for GIT but I've been waiting for 1.0 to officially release so I can be assured of a somewhat stable interface target.

I started working on a GIT-XS project around GIT 0.9 timeframe, but the changes to APIs and calls was still way too rapid, so I decided to back burner it.

I haven't looked at the libification work that Smurf is doing (haven't made time for it lately), but if it's not TOO python specific, maybe I can use it too.

Cheers, --Mark

A "lite" version using Inline::C can be quickly constructed if only the API were all listed in one place, or a few easy to find places.

I spent about ten minutes trying to find this information a few weeks back, but apparently, that was about five minutes (or more) too short.

Any quick pointers on how -lgit is constructed?

Guys, the "libificiation work" is more than that, and the more important and bigger task is not the part you connect libgit to your favorite P* languages, but first the part to reorganize libgit to be usable in that form.

I've outlined what needs to be done a couple of months ago:
