Re: [jgit-dev] Is there an interest of a porcelain like API for bare rep

[Alexandre Porcelli Bakos <porcelli@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matthias,

 Glad to hear that there's some interest in some of the things we have
in our codebase. I'll try to assess the gap between actual commands
under org.eclipse.jgit.api package and how our bare API would fit on
that (last time I did it... was soo different that made more sense to
have one focused just on bare).
 I'll have to clean up something (working that I'm doing it now
anyway) to contribute the NIO filesystem implementation, but I'd be
happy to contribute.
 Now in regard Ketch, this is still very early to say, the code that I
pointed still in my dev branch and not integrated into our projects.
What I can tell so far is that I had to make few changes to Ketch code
to make it work in a small and controlled environment. As this
environment is still very limited, I'll need a bit more of time to
give you an accurate answer. What I can tell so far is that we're
committed to using it, so expect to hear from me soon more about it.

ps: most of this code is already running in production for many years,
so quite stable.
