[9fans] Git client

[Kyohei Kadota]

Hi, 9fans.

I ported official Git client to 9legacy. It's very early version yet,
but it can do basic commands such as fetch, pull, log, add, and commit
-m.

Probably there are many bugs. Some of them might be results from a
issue of 8c that don't initialize rest fields of struct and union with
zero if field names are specified.

x86 binaries are available here:
https://lufia.org/git-386.tgz

there's a whole operating system to play with, and all you are busy
with is complaining that 9front doesn't have a grub theme.

i will repeat cinap here, cause it seems like realizes there are real
solutions provided:

you can do this from a GRAPHICAL system, from inside rio for example,
or even make your own GUI.

Now, having vented my spleen and deleted it (twice, now), let me just
say: Really?!

Nice.  It looks like testing it out on 9front will involve a bit of
backporting of ape stuff, but I may take a look.

As a side note, taking a look turned into a good test case for git/fs,
and got me to solve two issues -- git/fs now uses far less memory to
index large repositories, and it will no longer barf when a repository
has submodules.


Good support for submodules will still need a bit of work.

speaking of backporting ape stuff : has anyone looked into Harvey's "apex"
