Dear diary, on Fri, Jun 23, 2006 at 08:03:23AM CEST, I got a letter
where Jakub Narebski [off-list ref] said that...

Perhaps Git.pm should provide also generic, pure Perl (and slower)
fallback implementation (when for some reason we cannot compile XS).

I fiercely want to avoid this if there is any other possible way to go
about it - this is a path to hell of massive code duplication and
additional work, as the number of routines will grow. If it is question
of spending many developer-hours uselessly duplicating code in a way
that'll be much slower than possible anyway OR building with -fPIC... ;-)

I have thought about reimplementing only the parts which are in XS. In C
one would probably write

#if can_asm
 asm (...)
#else
 /* C code equivalent */
#endif

In addition to allowing use of Git.pm for people who cannot compile 
Git.xs, it would be helpful I guess in Git.pm development.
