Description

Providing a scm-provider based on jgit would provide quite some advantages over the cgit implementation when working with git:

• no native client to be installed
• support of username/password authentication (e.g. to GitHub)
• ...

I have an a running and tested implementation done a placed a pull request on GitHub: https://github.com/apache/maven-scm/pull/5
