Note that the Git developers perceive Git itself as being *a library* -- not in the sense of it being a .so file with exported API but in an "older" sense of presenting you with a collection of low-levels sharp tools to call. All executable files comprising Git are split in two layers--"porcelain" and "plumbing"--with the former being for interactive using and the latter--for usage by other programs. So the programs in the plumbing layer have stable output formats (or support special knobs allowing them to be tailored for the needs of the calling program). Projects like ikiwiki or gitolite do exactly this and do not rely on a third-party library. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
