This is not really difficult in Java, however, it relies on a working 
diff implementation (and IIRC my implementation has not yet been 
integrated into JGit).

Speaking of... where does that stand?

Same as where I left off.  IOW it is a working implementation that saw 
some testing, but I simply lack the time for performance tuning.

I can offer my help here. I looked at Dscho's code before, provided patches to
let it compile and run the tests (IIRC not fully successfully). I started in my
local repo to modify enhance the tests but didn't finished with that yet. I'll
try now to add some performance tests and tests derived from native Git diff 
tests. 

It should not be all that bad, though.

Seems I misremembered a bit.  Christian provided a patch to make it 
compileable, but I think that I ran the script to verify that the diffs 
are correct on jgit.git and IIRC it completed fine.
