API Design

The main objective with git-sharp is to implement a full mamanged implementation of git, this will be implemented with C# in the form of a library.
We will like that this library permits:

1. Implementation of a parallel set of git commands using git-sharp
2. Implementation of new commands
3. Implementation of git plugins for IDE like monodevelop or VS
4. For use for any program that wants to use git for a backend

Native git is divided in two complexity levels:

• Core: Fundamental data structures and utilities of git.
• Porcelain: Programs and program suites depending on core git, presenting a high level access to core git.

So in Git-sharp we will divide work in this two levels divide in 3 namespaces:

• Mono.Git: Main namespace, SCM high level clases and members are defined. Main Scenarios
• Mono.Git.Core: Namespace where the fundamental classes and members are defined. Core Scenarios
