APIs are broken all the time. That's why they have versions.

Anyway, I find it odd that the git project cares about an API promise of
an outdated language steadily in decline (it's peak was in 2004 [1]),
and yet it does not provide an API of its own, like virtually all
important software.

Shouldn't we care more about a C API than a Perl API?

(a non-existent API is orders of magnitude worse than an API that broke
once)
