Version Control API -- Git backend

This module provides an implementation of the Version Control API that makes it possible to use the Git version control system. It can retrieve commit information by parsing commit logs.

The Git backend depends on the Version Control API module. It also requires Git >=1.7.2 to be installed on the server.

This module was created as part of the Google Highly Open Participation Contest 2007-2008 where it was mentored by chx, jpetso, dww, and aclight. You can find further information on ideas and development in the original project proposal and in the Version Control API category on groups.drupal.org where the progress of the project was documented.
