By unmanaged, he means the [DllImport] which you would need to do the call to the extern in the shared library. Everyone that has chimed in has considered doing the git code before, believe us when we say we've thought about wrapping C. In this case, it will be far more flexible in C#. Especially since tools like silverlight do not allow DllImport's.
Well, browser plugins may have a fun time with git support, but it's so far from my priority list I couldn't even poke it with a really long pole. The fastest way forward is probably to hack on libgit2 and use C# micro-apps to verify continually that the binding layer works properly, so that's what I'll be doing. I should also state that while C# seems fun and all, my top priority is to make the git library usable as quickly as possible so that it can attract more attention from developers. That's why I think it's so vitally important to get some few usable steps working fast (such as diffing against the index, staging stuff for commit and creating a commit). Once we have that much, basic IDE integration should be fairly easy, and then people will want to do more so interest (hopefully from developers) is likely to increase. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 -- 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
