We probably don't need it libified completely. Just reading and writing of
the object database and tags/references and very simple revision walking
will be a very good start and possibly enough for anything which _uses_ the
database, like importers and exporters.from other VCS or just programs which
need a versioned storage. Comparing, archeology and maintenance tasks are
more often done manually and can wait (they do now, don't they?) until the
rest of diff, patch and revision walking machinery libified properly.
