a backend for the git scm would be nice.

I'm kind of working on this but I don't have much time so if someone else fixes this
I will not cry.

I have been looking into what is required generally for git support:

diff parsing - a 'git diff' is a slightly non standard format (particularly no
timestamps next to orig and new when parsing files in a diff), maybe the diffparsing
can be overridden on the SCMTool layer?

revisions - git doesn't think in revisions, so some assumptions of centralized
repositories will have to be refactored. This also applies to SCMTool subclasses and
repository access

If anyone is working on this, Id be willing to help out. If not i will see what i can
come up with.
