git provider

Please find the git provider as attachment.

Usefulness:
I used the git provider together with [http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-release-plugin|maven-release-plugin], it works fine for that use case.

Open issues:

• the JUnit tests are "proprietary", not yet TCK. I'll fix that.

If you want to run the tests, you must have git installed and it must be in your PATH.

To run git:

• on Windows: use Cygwin and install the binutils, openssh, openssl, rsync, curl
  than you are able to compile and install git
• on Linux: there are packages somewhere
• on Mac OS X: use the DarwinPorts
