Re: DrRackGit & LibGit2

HI John,

Thanks for taking the time to look at this - anytime you have is
appreciated.

As I'm not familiar with FFI and I'm not clear what the benefits over git
that lib2git brings on Windows/Linux/Macos I was honestly considering
leaving 'as-is' libgit2 and adding using git as an option in DrRackGit (via
racket/system) on the grounds that users will have git installed anyway.
(I'm pretty sure 'Github desktop' uses git, though it might have changed to
libgit2 in an update)

If you feel FFI/Libgit2 is worth the effort I'll follow you lead - please
don't hesitate to give me any task that will help.

Not a problem - I'm enthusiastic but DrRacket isn't my day job either. 😁

Thanks again,

Stephen
