I guess all approaches are feasible depending on the needs. Currently
just a wrapper around git executable is good enough for my needs, but
in theory it is the worst approach, since it depends on output of user
facing executable. I am glad to accept patches which uses any method.
I like libgit2 approach better than manually parsing git repo, since
it is much less work - and yet it works for anyone who isn't concerned
about concurrency aspect.
