I started using jgit in a project that is not yet totally public.  It is 
awesome.  (I mean jgit is awesome, even if my project does make me happy, 
too.)

And I absolutely share the puzzlement of Shawn why anybody would try to do 
their own thing in Java, instead of contributing to jgit.

Especially the fact that "JavaGit" seems to repeat the all-to-obvious 
error of Eclipse: to make a platform-independent library that depends on 
platform dependent components.

I find that kind of thinking so strange, to the point that I am really 
amazed enough to want to analyze the brain of the people inventing such 
things.

But hey, maybe there is a deeper point in it that escapes me.

Ciao,
Dscho
