Just wanted to send a node out that my js-git project has reached the first
milestone in functionality.  This means you can use the library to:

 - Clone remote repositories over TCP, HTTP(s) and SSH.
 - Pull in incremental updates
 - Make shallow clones or clone only a specific branch or tag.

Once you have a local repository, either created locally or cloned from a
remote, you have full read-write access using low-level APIs.

 - Create git object (blob, tree, commit, tag)
 - Read git objects
 - Create and manage tags and branches
 - Walk history as a stream
 - Walk a file tree as a stream
 - Export the tree to real files

There are numerous examples on the various js-git related packages linked
to at the end of the README.

Since this is the node list and js-git is not node-only, here are some
possible use cases for js-git in node programs.

 - Use a git repo as a database for a web app.
 - Use js-git to fetch remote code for deployment tools
 - Scrape remote repos looking for data progamatically.
 - Whatever else you can think of.

Currently I'm still working on reading pre-existing git repos (the code
doesn't handle packfiles) and pushing back to remotes.  That will all be
part of milestone #2.

My goal is to finish the first 4 milestones by new-years.  At that point it
will be functional enough for full development workflow and all sorts of
custom servers.
