Yeah, libgit would be awesome. I was using RCS for a lot of time, and so I have plenty of RCS
repositories -- it would be actually better to convert these directory to .git repositories
instead of getting through CVS. There is git://people.freedesktop.org/~keithp/parsecvs for
that, but it requires libgit. Oh well.

I see no reason why a programmatic interface to git's tools that forks 
them off and talks to them via pipes couldn't be written. It wouldn't even 
be hard. (I'm not sure it's worth it, though: it's not as if it's 
difficult for people who need to talk to git via pipes to do so now.)
