I read in the archives that there was once talk of porting Git over to C#
and was wondering if anything ever came of this?
That depends. I think it's happened at least on three different occasions
that someone wants to port git to C#. The latest is the attempt to write a
libified git (in C) that will be DllImport()'ed from C#, which the devs at
MonoDevelop were sort of interested in. I'm currently working (very slowly)
on libgit2, and it's nowhere near usable today.
I realize there were some
that didn't see the use for this but as Git is becoming more and more
popular a more native implementation of Git for windows users would be a
good endevour IMHO.
Truly. However, a better way forward is to create a portable git library
that any old application can use, no matter what language the application
is written in. That way, GUI-hackers can add all the bells and whistles
they like.
Besides that, msysgit works very well on Windows.
At any rate any info would be greatly appreciated.
libgit2 is available from
http://www.spearce.org/projects/scm/libgit2/libgit2.git
git://git.op5.org/git/libgit2.git
The first URL belongs to Shawn O. Pearce, the initiator of the libgit2
project. The second one is where I stash random stuff that I work on.
Note that git.op5.org is subject to heavy rebasing at the moment, as I'm
basically using it as a patch queue for Shawn (and everyone else who's
interested) to look at when they feel like it. It's not yet interesting
enough to warrant sending everything as patches to git@vger, but a small
bunch of people are helping making the small internal API's reliably
portable (filesystem operations, thread-local error handling) so that
we can nail them down hard to prevent having to change them (and their
hundreds of callers) in the future.
