My personal favorite is <a href="http://digilander.libero.it/mcostalba/">qgit</a>. It's a very nice Qt4 git repository browser. Unfortunately its website is poorly maintained: The changelog ends at 1.5.7 and the download link points to 2.0, even though the newest released version is 2.3. Fortunately distros have picked up regardless.

EGit (git for Eclipse) has a pretty good EGit/User Guide. Anyone using it?
EGit?

I use Eclipse all day, and I find Egit very poor. Documentation is ok, but functionality is seriously lacking.

QGit is very nice, though it seems the changelog stops with the last release based on Qt 3.
What would be even more awesome, though, would be a proper git library, so that applications that want to manipulate git repos wouldn't need to resort to invoking the various git binaries to do what they need.

Interesting link, thanks. Too bad it's GPLv2 only; I have an LGPLv3+ project I'd like to use it with.

The libgit2 authors provide some additional permission on top of the GPLv2:
In addition to the permissions in the GNU General Public License, the authors give you unlimited permission to link the compiled version of this file into combinations with other programs, and to distribute those combinations without any restriction coming from the use of this file. (The General Public License restrictions do apply in other respects; for example, they cover modification of the file, and distribution when not linked into a combined executable.)
This is the traditional GCC runtime exception.
In other words, it seems that the libgit2 authors, at least, would not mind seeing you use the (unmodified) library from your LGPLv3+ project.

I know of the libraries Dulwich (for Python) and Git# (for C#, etc) as independent implementations of git.
