I cannot imagine a viable implementation of things like ‘commit-closure’
and ‘commit-relation’ from (guix git) done by shelling out to ‘git’.
I’m quite confident this would be slow and brittle.
It looks like there’s no option other than carrying the two
implementations.

Years ago, Andy Wingo sketched a plan for GNU hackers to implement Git
in pure Scheme. That was on April 1st though, so people mistakenly
assumed it was a joke and the project was never carried out.
I digress, but I wonder: is there not even a viable Haskell or OCaml
implementation of Git?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
