The "Modernizing and expanding Git.pm" project refers to the Git module in git sources[1], that is used by git commands implemented in Perl like git-svn, git-send-email, and interactive part of git-add. It is not on CPAN (though if you feel like it putting it on CPAN might be part of this project, but it must be "dual-lived").

Note that Git.pm must remain extremly portable, which includes ActivePerl on MS Windows (msysGit or Cygwin). Use of non-core modules (for 5.8.0) should be also probably limited. > I would really appreciate any ideas or advice for making my > application for GSoC 2012 better.
