You know, git *is* free software. Feel free to fork it and add all the C++ code you want. FWIW, I am of the opinion that Python or Ruby (or god forbid, Perl) would have been a better choice for something like git that does lots of text processing... furthermore, I think the exception handling, garbage collection, and implicit object destruction provided by those languages (and by C++, as overwrought as it is) makes any codebase easier to understand and maintain. But that's irrelevant: git is written in C. That's the way it is, and you should accept that or fork.
