Yes, it is all important and good questions to think on architecture. i think that maybe these cases have already been done in git.sources, so all you need is include git in compilation check process and this is why using API can be better.
if you can "git remote-testgit" (needs git_remote_helpers compiled) or "git ls-remote / git fetch" then you can work with git. and as i remember previous version was not using threads, so this must be a separate thread that in case of no-data-received will be termenated and restarted only with user explicit push the button. "git log" also provides a lot of data so maybe can be used somehow (browsing comments instead of branches for example) and this is the way to avoid file download and reduce bandwidth load as well as search-case. git creates own separate directory usually wit .git in it so it's easy to determine it and it should be placed inside of /home/user/lmms/instruments ./songs directory i guess.
