Yes. Just like we have a really small really stable part of core-git, 
which can be used by porcelains, and is expected to work the same in 
future versions, we could have eventually with libgit.

That would mean, for example, that rev_info should always be initialised 
with malloc() so that future versions can make it bigger, and that new 
members be added always at the end.

That sounds very reasonable.

And if it does not work out as expected, we don't have to make it part of 
"official" Git. It can live on as a fork.
