[racket-dev] raco pkg and github

I saw a blurb this week where Microsoft is using http://libgit2.github.com/ to
add git support into their tooling (Visual Studio no less) and their devs
have been committing to fill in any MS specific git gaps.  It looks like a
top quality project,  claiming to be small, clean, no-deps, and cross
platform smooth.  Is the option to use Racket's FFI to libgit2 just a time
and resources thing?
