I've made progress and I believe it's now testable. I've been able to commit updates as well as update code from GitHub. As a bonus I've added the possibility to commit a pom which allows to build the module using maven, and also allowed separate credentials by XWiki user (which was a common request for the SVNApp to be able to share a configuration on the same wiki).
I've published the code http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/GitHubApp Would it be possible to create me a repository in xwiki-contrib for the application so I can move it to contrib.
