Another idea that I just remembered about: two years ago there was a SoC project to make nautilus (the file manager from gnome) able to version directories. It was using SVN (and failed, but it's another story). While nautilus is heavily multi-threaded, it's a "single-instance app", so there is at most only one instance of nautilus ever running. Under the hypothesis of a "versioned directories" support using libgit (that would be easier to do and support since it doesn't need to set up a server), it's quite obvious that a non-reentrant git would not be enough: you are likely to have more than one versioned directories on screen at the same time! OTOH, blocking doesn't look like an issue since gnomevfs already deals with quite a number of blocking synchronous libs and exposes an async API on top of those (similar to what QT Threading does, I guess). BTW, if some Gnome people are reading, if libgit comes into life, such a project is something I'd like to see for real ;-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
