JGit vs. Git

["Vagmi Mudumbai" <vagmi.mudumbai@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am a git and a jgit noob. Be gentle. :-)

1) Is JGit a drop in replacement of Git? In sense, if I were to pack
in an SCM with my app, Can I pack jgit instead of C Git?

2) I noticed that there are no 'add' and 'commit' commands (at least
from the source) in the org.spearce.git.pgm project. I am looking at
the repo.or.cz/egit.git repo. I had a brief look at the
lib/GitIndex.java and lib/Repository.java. GitIndex has the add
methods to add files/entries to the index. I am still stumped on how
commits can be done with JGit. Any help is hugely appreciated.

I am working on Windows with msysGit behind a HTTP Proxy. (Life cant
get worse, I guess.) . I planned on using grit via JRuby but grit uses
fork which is not available on funny platforms like windows. And JRuby
guys do not have any plan on supporting fork even on platforms on
which for is supported. If JGit is a pure Java based implementation of
Git with more or less the same functionality, then my work becomes a
lot easier.
