+This is the dulwich project.
It aims to give an interface to git repos that doesn't call out to git
-directly. It is probably going to be implemented in pure python.
-
-Currently can read blobs, trees and commits from the files. It reads both
-legacy and new headers. However it is untested for anything but the simple
-case.
-
-Can also understand a little about the repository format.

-The testsuite uses the nosetests program from Turbogears, as I got annoyed
-trying to set up unittest.
+directly but instead uses pure Python.
Open up a repo by passing it the path to the .git dir. You can then ask for
HEAD with repo.head() or a ref with repo.ref(name). Both return the SHA id
There is also support for creating blobs. Blob.from_string(string) will create
a blob object from the string. You can then call blob.sha() to get the sha
-object for this blob, and hexdigest() on that will get its ID. There is
-currently no method that allows you to write it out though.
-
-Everything is currently done with assertions, where much of it should probably
-be exceptions. This was merely done for expediency. If you hit an assertion,
-it either means you have done something wrong, there is corruption, or
-you are trying an unsupported operation.

+The project is named after the part of London that Mr. and Mrs. Git live in
+in the particular Monty Python sketch. It is based on the Python-Git module
+that James Westby <jw+debian@jameswestby.net> released in 2007 and now
+maintained by Jelmer Vernooij and John Carr.
