I do not know enought about libgit2 or even git unofficial internal C
API to talk about it.

I did not plan for Perl interface to be actual Perl bindings, using
libgit2.  Please remember that earlier effort of using XS (Perl <-> C
interface) failed because it relied on GCC support for -fPIC and was
not sufficiently portable... if I remember it correctly.  Calling Git
commands and massaging output would be enough for me.
