That would take too long.  IMHO having the whole merge stuff ported to C 
will need at least another 6 months.

IMHO git-svn is a _must_.  (Although I can be talked out of it.)

My status so far: I got perl-5.8.8 compiled, subversion, too, but the perl 
bindings are a bit strange.  For one, the Makefiles are written to 
somewhere completely bogus, and then they do not work properly.

Yes, git-cheetah is nowhere near the state I would like to see it.  
Unfortunately, the only developer I could get interested so far seems to 
have lost interest, and I do not have enough time to take care of it.

FWIW I think that we are stable enough already to have better-than-preview 
releases (although, like I said, lack of git-svn is a reason for me not to 
declare non-beta status yet).

Ciao,
Dscho
