I evaluated all of the existing projects and chose the one of them which was most advanced and had the most promising strategy of getting done soon: kevin thompsons gitty. gitty is a port of about 6k of ~20k lines of a jgit snapshot from 2008. The gitty code is mostly not working because it has never been debugged after porting. I figured that the easiest way to a pure c# implementation of git is to port jgit. Automatic porting attempts have not really been successful so I decided to do it manually. Based on Kevin's very erraneous but yet valuable work I ported even more substantial parts of jgit and its tests to C# and got much of the code working as the over 200 passing tests can tell. By now we have ported about 47% of the jgit source (snapshot from june 2009) and got reading of repos and writing of trees, blobs and commits to work already. The project is called Git# now and has already found a few contributors on github. More info is available at the http://www.eqqon.com/index.php/GitSharp Git# website. I know that there have been several attempts by the Mono project to create a git implementation in C#. They seem inactive and in a very basic state to me but correct me if I am wrong. I will try to contact the mono folks for collaboration on the matter. -- henon -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/C--Git-Implementation-tp1589227p3243735.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
