Yes (there have actually been several attempts at this like https://github.com/Romain-Geissler/git2 and https://github.com/vfr-nl/git2/), but there are a *lot* of stuff that are in git.git and not in libgit2. I'd love to see Git re-implemented on top of libgit2, but that's not going to happen tomorrow :-\. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
