JGit code... is confusing because its fast. We spent a lot of time trying to make things fast on the JVM, and somewhat comparable with C Git even though its not in C. Some of the low-level APIs are fast because they bypass conventional Java wisdom and just tell the #@!* machine what to do, with no pretty bits about it. Make it pretty, it goes slower. Or uses more RAM. Java likes RAM. Good luck making an improved library. JGit of course is also interested in contributions. The api package has been trying to make a simpler calling convention for common use cases that match the command line interface user are familiar with, but its still incomplete and hides some optimizations that are possible with the lower-level calls. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
