Good on Adobe... but what does this get them? I spent a lot of time working on JGit: http://eclipse.org/jgit/ This is going to take folks a long time to do in pure JS... before even work has to be done to tweak performance... the great thing about JGit is that it's under EDL (BSD) so JS-Git should be able to steal some ideas
I think using emscripten + some customization of the code is much more efficient than doing this port AND you don't have problems with incompatibilities. But why do you want to run git in your web browser in the first place?
I think this is what emscripten is for: You have some _great_ code and want to port it to the browser platform. But I'm afraid Git relies heavily on the "Posix runtime" that is not supported by emscripten, since emscripten does not try to emulate an os.
