Markup nit: the second paragraph needs to be unindented, or asciidoc will treat it as literal text, including line breaks. Usage nit: s/could/can/ Clarity nit: something like "such as JGit and libgit2" after "Other Git implementations" would make it clearer, at least to my eyes. Aside from that, this looks like a good change.
