I thought one of the yardstick to gauge the success of this "libification" effort, if not the purpose of this effort, is to allow Git to be its first client. I am not sure how it would supposed to work. Unless you are giving parallel implementations of "main Git binaries", one with the native code and the other replaced the native code with thin wrappers around the library calls, that is. Puzzled...
