问题
Is there any documentation about internal structure of Git index file? From various book I know it's binary and it contains SHAs of staged files, I know about Git 'plumbing' commands helping to reveal index content...
But how about read index by myself using C#, for example?
I know that there several implementations of this feature, so it's possible to study the code:
- In Git itself;
- In libgit2 written on C;
- In GitSharp ported to C# from Java.
And all these options a bit complex, because need to hack around other's code. I would prefer to develop from scratch using data format explanation. If it's possible of cause.
Would appreciate your help very much!

Take a look at Documentation/technical/index-format.txt in the git.git repository:
