Thank you, Russ. I looked briefly at Git to estimate the complexity of porting it to Plan 9 (subsequent to Go's announcement) and found in its INSTALL file much to be daunted by, mostly references to shell and perl scripting and Posix compatibility. That said, a port of Git to Windows has been completed and Jeff Sickel announced that porting Git to Plan 9 should not be too difficult, so I look forward to efforts in this direction and plead here to assist with such, if at all possible. You may well be the best authority to answer the question that came immediately to mind: Give the ongoing port of Go to Go and the tools being used for the translation, would a similar approach be worth applying to the Git sources, even if only to measure the cost of moving Go, Git and Plan 9 to a new development infrastructure, one that is sorely missing?
