I would think libgit is overkilling for this. You probably would not use libgit to just add a single feature but to change completely the interface with git because the required work is heavy both on git side and qgit side (you probably would want to run the libgit linked part in a separated thread to avoid GUI soft locks during slow processing, now, because the executed git command is a different process from qgit, the OS scheduler takes care of this 'for free').
