Added it in full. It still squarely falls under "this is for fun/are you seriously doing this for this purpose" territory for me.

git operate on the filesystem level, the unix behavior is just getting buried. You cannot rewrite git into a linkable library and decide it's now not unix. It's entire behavior is unix, which is why it's awesome.

My intent with this project is not to replace Git in any way. I don't care about the CLI part of this project.

The point is to provide a feature-complete reentrant linkable library. Even if it's an ugly and slow one, this is still the only one thing that exists that covers those points - Gitoxide and libgit2 are both awesome but they are not feature complete.
