I'd like to see Perl "use Git;". :) 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 ``` ## Randal L.

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.

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: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=112687447700001 ```
