+A patch with full git support is at <http://people.debian.org/~roktas/patches/ikiwiki/git.patch>. Regarding the patch, Recai says:
+
+I have been testing it for the past few days and it seems satisfactory. I
+haven't observed any race condition regarding the concurrent blog commits
+and it handles merge conflicts gracefully as far as I can see.
+
+As you may notice from the patch size, GIT support is not so trivial to
+implement (for me, at least). Being a fairly fresh code base it has some
+bugs. It also has some drawbacks (especially wrt merge which was the hard
+part). GIT doesn't have a similar functionality like 'svn merge -rOLD:NEW
+FILE' (please see the relevant comment in mergepast for more details), so I
+had to invent an ugly hack just for the purpose.
+
+Some other notes:
+
+- There are two separate helper packages in git.pm. To keep things self
+ confined, I haven't split it up.
+
+- I've used a (mini) Debug.pm during the tests and made it a separate file
+ for the convenience of others. It relies on the "constant folding"
+ feature of Perl, so there shouldn't be a runtime penalty (at least this
+ is what the 'perl -MO=Deparse shows', haven't made a real benchmark).
+
+- rcs_notify() has not been implemented yet (I have noticed it after I
+ finished the main work).
+
+- GIT backend uses the gitweb for repository browsing (the counterpart of
+ ViewCVS).
+
+- There might be some subs in GIT name space which you may prefer to move to
+ the main code.
+
+- Due to the reasons explained in the code, I've written an rcs_invoke()
+ wrapper. May be there should be a better approach to reach the same
+ goal.
+
+- There are some parts which I may change in future, like using a global
+ rcs_fatal_error and the ugly error reporting code in _rcs_commit.
+
+- Documentation is missing.
+
+It works for me, but of course in the end, the final decision is yours (due
+to mostly GIT quirks, the implementation is not clean as SVN). Feel free
+to fix/delete/add whatever you want. Hope it doesn't have any serious bug.
