  Description     : Python Git library

Dulwich is a pure-Python implementation of the file formats and protocols 
used by the Git version control system.
.
It can currently read existing Git repositories and write most objects. 
The client and server support sending and receiving packs.
.
The main difference with e.g. python-git is that Dulwich provides a
direct implementation of the Git formats/protocols, rather than calling
out to the git command-line tools. This also gives a bit more control
over the low-level operations.

(Dulwich is required by bzr-git, ITP: #489169)
