which for is supported. If JGit is a pure Java based implementation of
fork isn't really supported on Windows. Cygwin goes to great lengths to
emulate it. Trying to do that within the context of an arbitrary JVM seems
like a daunting task. Consider submitting patches to make grit not use fork...
just kidding.., please help us improve JGit instead :)
Or think about extending the Ruby gem grit to also use JGit. Which
would certainly improve grit and probably help improve JGit also.
I've thought about this a bit -- but it hasn't gotten to the top of
my list yet ...
There are some examples of Ruby Gems which use Java libraries when
run in JRuby and native C libraries when used from MRI.
