I did some toying implementing one. As for XA support, I guess that would not be very hard per se, but my thoughts on JEE support was more in the direction of gitweb-like stuff, i.e. reading. Trying to involve git in distributed database transactions might be cool, but seriously: Do you need it? As for JEE my ideas are: A nice JSP tag library and a resource manager. When is an entirely different question, as is who. Did you look at my experiment in a reply of mine in another recent jgit thread? The term "distributed" in XA is not quite the same as in distributed verison control. If it would, then we'd send SQL commands over e-mail (now, /that/ would be cool :). -- robin
