Jazz Source Control git Emulation
Has it been considered to give Jazz Source Control the ability to emulate a git repository? This would allow one to more easily integrate with external build systems since most support git these days.
Other vendors are going down this path. Perforce can pretend to be a git repository via its Perforce Fusion product. AccuRev can do the same with its Kando. Microsoft Team Foundation Server SCM can emulate a Subversion repository with SvnBridge.
For build systems, a full git emulation wouldn't be needed, just the read operations of the repository.

There is an article about setting up a full git adapter:

It looks like it requires a full git server in order to replicate changes back and forth.

Kirk,
As it appears you figured out, the Git adapter Chris refers to is for linking Git commits (or Gerrit changes) and RTC work items. It does not replicate between Git and Jazz Source Control nor does it make Jazz Source Control look like Git.
We are curious to know, however, what specific external tools you are interested in that can not work with Jazz Source Control. Perhaps someone here knows another way to make them work without Git emulation.
