As far as I know, that was only true back in the very early days of Git.

Git is written in plain old C.

I just took a quick look at the source for Git 1.7.2.1, and I couldn't 
find anything that looked messy, ugly or Perl'ish. It's just plain C, 
and very good C at that, IMHO.

Why not just grab the source yourself and look it over?

http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.2.1.tar.gz

Maybe there's a grand Ada project sitting here, just waiting to get 
done? An Ada powered Git!  :D
