gittornado: A tornado-based implementation of the git-http-backend in Python

Hi,

I decided to implement the smart HTTP protocol on top of tornado for
our codehosting platform. It is built as a library but also includes
an example of a simple server.

At the moment, it's in a stage where it is in daily use for accessing
git repositories by a diverse set of different git client
versions/flavours. I have not done any load testing or performance
benchmarking yet, but it should basically scale relatively well due to
it's event-driven nature.

You can find the code at https://github.com/mensi/gittornado

Feedback / patches are highly appreciated.
