Especially since that'd mean that integrating it into other languages
(by means of wrappers), such as Python or Ruby, becomes a lot easier.

I'm going to be shot for saying this, but both Python and Ruby
have implementations that run on the JVM.  So does Git.  Want
to use Git and Python?  Use JGit and Jython.  :)

There is also the "stores" branch from pygit [1] that implements pack
and object reading natively in python. Anyway implementing more than
that (ie, packing and such things) natively is clearly harder and
takes more work for less efficiency than making bindings around a
libified git...
