I think TortoiseGit need C\C++ git library, which should be also used
by git itself. Otherwise, it is difficult sync with git.
I don't mean to reimplement a single bit of what is implemented in git
itself. I want to factor out some stuff that is above git, only useful for
_graphical_ user interfaces.
Ah!!
Sorry i missed that detail in the orig long mail :(
I still don't think it making things simpler. What you are proposing
is yet one more abstraction. But me thinks cli abstraction is enough.

Abstractions at interface levels are usefull, abstractions at
functional level (gui's vs clis) are complex and don't solv anything.
