Pretty much every graphical frontend for GIT uses libgit2 (completely separate implementation) to do all the heavy lifting on the local repository and then runs the commandline version whenever it needs to do anything remotely.

I saw someone asking for a shared library version of libgit2 in another thread, but that hardly makes much sense (I don't think libgit2 is fully reentrant either, so it will have limited value either way), just statically link it.
