As I suspected (hoping I would be wrong), the lack of communication (this time with the Git community) did not help at all. The latest commit is this: http://code.google.com/p/mono-soc-2008/source/detail?r=471 implementing a diff algorithm. >From what I can tell from the source (I do not have a working C# environment), the implementation repeats a lot of what Shawn told us earlier were his lessons from his first stab at JGit. For example, I saw that the contents of blobs are read into memory when the blob is read. I haven't checked closely, but I did not have the impression that there were accessors making it easy to turn this into a lazy read. Take-home message: if you think you should develop Open Source in a secretive manner, you are almost certainly wrong, and your project will almost certainly be slow or even fail (BTW I also see exactly this same problem with Govind's try last year, which had a cool name, and then another cool name, but not much to show for it).
