It happens. 

Something that I liked playing with to get myself a better handle of how
git works is using libgit2 and its python bindings. I find the codebase
a little bit smaller and its bindings to higher-level languages can help
you abstract the memory management and other low-level stuff that is
sometimes distracting.

Good luck!
