Well, it appears that he may have implemented "git" on his own, or
at
the very least he's trying to imply that he did.
http://www.gitboxapp.com/faq.html#gpl
He very clearly says that he ships Git, not a reimplementation.
He also clearly stated that he's not calling git command-line tools...
I wonder why he would ship them, then.
"Gitbox neither links (statically or dynamically) against Git nor uses
custom interfaces to interact with it. Git binaries are provided for
your convenience only."
Calling execve() is not dynamic linking, that I'm aware of.
I'm hoping he'll have a more complete statement for all of us.
I think you've misinterpreted his words, but I agree that a
clarification to set minds at ease would be appropriate.
