On: Dulwich: Pure Python implementation of git

[glenjamin]

Does anyone know what the performance of this on windows (maybe with PyPy?) is compared to MSys Git or Cygwin.

If it's pretty good there should be some mileage in making a reasonable git client for windows based on this.

That's exactly what I was thinking of when seeing this. It could prove fruitful for getting a "Tortoise" interface for git that's both easy to maintain and doesn't rely on clunky bits like msysgit.

[cincinnatus → glenjamin]

How about an Iron Python based implementation. Then it could be 'native' code

[baq → glenjamin]

msysgit was fast enough for me in a 250+kloc project.

it was certainly faster than dog-slow g++.
