Git is the closest as it’s just C,<br>

lines of test scripts” and have to lug in the massive payload<br>
of Python and Perl just to make it functional?<br>
</blockquote><div> In case anyone is _really determined_ to do this: libgit2 has only 117K lines of code, better than git&#39;s 178K. It also has a mere 200 lines of shell, total. It doesn&#39;t depend on Python or Perl. It&#39;s also supposed to be much more portable than git, though I dunno if that would actually work out for Plan 9. Probably not that much.</div>
<div>You could try porting libgit2 and then write some small C wrappers using it.</div>
