I would be happy to elaborate this.

  Thanks a lot!

First of all, this is not another gitweb or gitorious.
This is a client to use git. I mean, you could use this to work on git
repositories. (even editing files)

  Aha, I see. Are you aware of "gist" [http://gist.github.com/]? It is
in a sense the first attempt to do this, albeit quite rudimentary in
some ways. And it's also closed-source, I'm not personally aware of an
open-source alternative, so this would certainly be useful! Actually,
I can say I would certainly like to add this functionality to repo.or.cz
for creating commits on the mob branches over the web directly.

Surely, something could be plugged into https://bespin.mozilla.com/,
which already does a great job at editing.

That sounds like a nice replacement for the textarea, thanks for the
tip! On the other hand, I think this is currently the least important
part of the project and for the basic implementation, even a simple
textarea should suffice, any prettier editor hopefully could be slammed
in anytime trivially.

you may want to look at this firefox add-on, it lets you select any editor 
to edit textareas
