In the Git Web Access, git.exe is required on the server in order to handle clone/pull/push requests as well as to list commits for odata services. I have been thinking replace it with some git wrapper libraries. Tried a few, none of them works.

libgit2sharp, a wrapper to the libgit2 linkable C Git library, supposed to provide native speed, freaked me way off after seeing a few time memory access violation exceptions.

GitSharp,  manual port of JGit to C#. The project is a bit old and seems stopped updating. I was able run it locally and on Azure, but have not figured how to walk the commits yet.

ngit, automated JGit port to C#, is newer than GitSharp. It has a strange behavior that every time you open a repository, it tries to read configure files which do not exist on the server that has no git installed.

Good news is that I was able to deploy Git.exe to Azure by following this post.
