This release marks significant improvements in the new Git API being built around GitSharp.Core. The core is a line-by-line port of JGit. Even though the porting is complete, it was quite hard to use it without good knowledge of Git's internals and technical concepts. The API encapsulates and abstracts this knowledge so that everyone with a little Git experience can easily make use of the library. These improvements allow one to add files to the index and commit them.
