So what we need is a native Smalltalk git ;)

We need a better-than-git Smalltalk thing :)

Yes I know... more work with limited resources, but native git its being
done in other places...   (not sure how successfully)

I can give you a head start. There is some Smalltalk code to reuse; it's called FileSystem-Git, or FS-Git.

They do lack a bit of activity.

That’s because they should be superseded by the libgit2 bindings.

If I'm not mistaken, they originally were what Ben suggested: a complete git reimplementation in Smalltalk via a FileSystem abstraction layer. The Pharo "whole" export to github would be based on that work, along with that 'almost like FileTree, but not the same' file format.

But correct me if I got that wrong.


This is the right repo: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~FileSystemGitDev/FileSystem-Git (the github version is outdated).

Thanks for the reminder (and the hard work you're putting into the libgit2 bindings),
